I'm a new subscriber as I found you two more recently. But just wanted to say you guys are awesome and thanks for the videos.

[mariaag]

Can’t wait for the next video. We just visited the board room cafe in Halifax for the first time to try (and ended up buying) Villainous thanks to you! Thanks!

[danieltunnicliffe]

Great lists guys! Especially Jamie's, I feel like I need to pick up all of the games we haven't yet got! me and my wife are just getting into the hobby and your content is the best in the biz! in your recent video you mentioned making content on heavier games and I'm sure it'll be great but you're tastes, the medium to lighter games, are just the sort of games we love to hear about. Keep up the great work.

Love your content :)

If you don't like the fact, that you don't even need to make wine to win in viticulture, get the visitors of the rhine valley expansion. It pretty much fixes this problem for not much money. The new visitor cards don't give close as many VP and encourage the wine engine building. I never play without it for that reason.

[FemmeSensei]

I enjoyed this again, again, largely because of the interplay :). I would love to hear Jamie say more about the mechanics she likes (aside from the top mechanic of "I win this one" :)

What a cute cozy sweater Jamie ❄️

Im so excited for merchants of the dark road.. it looks so pretty and you guyses rave reviews just make me want it even more..

loved your lists as always, thanks for making such wonderful videos!!

[daniellebackus]

Sleeping Gods is my #1 game. I have Above and Below, and it’s cool to see how much the story-telling has improved. Near and Far and Now or Never are ordered and on their way!

[joshuag]

If you don't like cards affecting victory points in Viticulture besides getting Tuscany, get the Rhine Valley expansion, it completely removes that, and all the visitor cards are focused on the wine production/engine building aspect of the game

[JakeJackPot_]

I get the journeys placement, my heart is so warm for LoTR and journeys hits that spot for me so well! Also every time you guys talk about Merchants of the Dark Road I want it more and more!!

[jkledis]

It is 74° as I watch this! What a fun list - can't wait for Tuesday!

[rolling.reggie]

Gosh so many on this list I wanna try this! Great vid as always. Also, I read somewhere people are trying to say “Troops on a map” instead of dudes to be more inclusive, food for thought!

[JonTripp]

My cat started paying closer attention when Jamie started shaking that dingle ball at the end. 😻

[guillaumebroy]

I think you absolutely HAVE to get Tuscany for Viticulture! I'm sure it'll bring it way back into your top 10...!! I'm normally not into expansions that much, but this one was like a no brainer for me... played the base game once, thought was really good, then added Tuscany, and god.... it turned it into one of my favorite games ever, probably my top 2 i'd say...!! I would never EVER play without it now. The fact you can now place workers every season is so cool, plus with the new buildings and new specialized workers, it adds tons of replayability. An essential!

Great list! In regards to the Blood Rage v Rising Sun argument (both of which are in my top 10, with Rising Sun being my favorite of the 2) the 2 main complaints I hear for Rising Sun are its length and the 'negotiation'. Blood Rage is a really streamlined game with easy combat that can finish in about 2 hours. I have yet to have a game of Rising Sun under 3.5 hours (our group is slow). I don't mind that but I can totally see that being a huge turnoff for a lot of people. Also, the game was really advertised as a negotiation heavy game, which it isn't. Even though I love the game I do think the negotiation is a little under-baked and I think people just felt let down by their own expectations.

[ameritrashtalk]

Another great video looking forward to the top 10.

[tbahr]

Parks: Nightfall is extremely good. Massive improvement to the goal cards, the instant effects are really interesting, and the campsites open up new choices. You guys are going to love it!

[patrickfawcett]

Thank you for doing these videos! Although we don’t have a lot of crossover in terms of favorites (at least not yet), I really enjoy the shared enthusiasm that you two have. I’ve been bingeing your channel since I came across it and I look forward to more videos!

[manonfirejc]

Tuesday. Frigg! That's so far away. 😆 love the top 50 so far. Cheers

[ericcorson]

Now we’re getting close! Top ten on Tuesday. I can’t wait. Viticulture is amazing...and I don’t even drink. Arnak...what can I say. I too picked up the Leaders expansion at Pax. Haven’t busted it out yet but I did pimp out my game with ruin like holders for the bits. Paint them up, sprinkle on some flocking and vines. Right up Jeff’s alley. Great project if you have a 3D printer. Res Arcana? Do you guys have a play through on that one? You already sold me on Silver Bullet. 🙀

I just found your channel yesterday by your top ten video from last year, loved it and subscribing to your channel was a no-brainer! And today when I found this series of your 50 lists I got so exited. I've even started an account on GBB so I could make a wishlist of the games you get me interested in and so I can rank my own games at Pub Meepel. I really like your chemistry and I found you both so likable!
I just have one idea/question about Viticulture (which is my #1 game). When my family plays it we nearly always pushes the finish line 5-20 points (depending on the time we have) which we think improves the game just because you become more dependable on your wine production. Have you tried the same? Did you have the same experience or did you (especially Jeff I guess) still think the wine making had to little impact? If you haven't tried it, it's a big tip!

Sorry for such a long comment! Love you both and love this channel already! Hugs from Sweden
