Thank you so much for visiting Gaming Top-Down!
I grew up playing (now-retro) video games and board games and have always been inspired by the creativity and skill that board game and video game developers have.
With this channel, I'll primarily be focused on modern board games. I want to give as much focus as possible to the board games that I cover, so you won't see my face too often. I think you'd rather see the game and hear my voice than listen to a talking head.
I'll primarily be posting board game reviews, playthroughs, and top 10 lists of the games that I own and play. Thanks again for being here. I hope you'll find enough value, positivity, and enthusiasm to come back.
Happy gaming!

Super Game Brothers, Episode 012 - Switch and Xbox do what Sony Don't!
Patchwork is always a solid title.
I FORGOT ORICHALCUM!!! It's definitely one of my favorite games that starts with the letter O. I had it set aside in a different room and missed it. Pretend it is in there at the end 😅
Obsession without a question.
I need to try that one! I've heard great things.
No Thanks! is 👍
Not a ton of M games that I love but Mandala is a solid 2P card game.
3 points! In My top 5.
Do you think the expansions make it better? I only have the base game, at the moment, and have been thinking about trying getting them.
@@GamingTopDownI really like the arts and architecture expansion with the new track. I play with them all and the playmat. I don't feel that any of the expansions are must haves, but I play with them all each time.
Nice connect

Nice job! Have you played it before?
First view!!! Just got mine in the mail! Can't wait to play
Thanks for watching! It's a fun game. Cozy, but has some good decisions and blocking. I hope you enjoy it!
Land VS Sea and Lisboa are my L games.
I've heard good things about Lisboa!
*I made an error during setup. I should have set out resources matching the unused planets on the ambitions as the ghost player's scoring pieces. I incorrectly assumed it was referring to the printed icons on the ambitions. Didn't matter too much for our playthrough, but wanted to point it out. We also built multiple ships at the same starport a few times, which isn't allowed. Rules, amirite? Thanks for watching!

One of the best K games (and games in general) is definitely Kanban EV. Kemet is also good.
I really want to try Kanban. Haven't been able to yet.
Also zero, but it's nice to discover new games! 😊
There's so many that it's impossible to know them all. Thanks for watching! 😀
Jamaica is a good family game.
Zero!
Tricky one today!
Iki is a good game that starts with I.
I've had my eye on that one!
3 points!!
Have you played it yet?
@@GamingTopDown not yet. Probably will pick it up at Gen Con though
Owned it, never opened it before i sold it!!
Yeah, it's an intimidating box, for sure. I'm borrowing it from a friend and I still haven't played it yet. 😅
Not 😅
You'll get it next time!
NO WAY IT'S LIBRARY OF RUINA

Le Havre and Hansa Teutonica are fantastic. I also love Hanamikoji and Hive like you.
Ghost Stories is a very good game that starts with G.
I've heard it is very difficult. Has that been your experience too?
@@GamingTopDown Yes, certainly. But once you get used to it, it's not too bad. Must be played with 4P, though.
Ethnos and the EXIT series are great.
Dinogenics is my favorite game that starts with D.
Haven't played that one. Pictures look cool though! Have you played Dinosaur Island or Dinosaur World? If so, how do they compare?
@GamingTopDown I've never played any of the Pandasaurus Dino games. I've very happy with Dinogenics which is worker placement, set collection.
C has a lot of great games like Chinatown, Concordia, City of the Big Shoulders, Clans of Caledonia, and Condottiere. Not to mention Curious Cargo which has 100+ plays for me.
Yeah, I love Curious Cargo. So many games!
Brass and Barrage are a couple of my favorites that begin with B.
I do want to play those. A little heavier than my group is used to, but I'm working on moving them that direction 😜
@@GamingTopDown you can do it!
My favorite game that begins with A is Asante.
I'll check that one out!
I enjoyed the video! Looking forward to Letter B
Thanks! B & C are up now and am working on the rest!
Heard good things about this game! Would love to know your opinion about it
Yeah, I have too! I'm hoping to get it played soon so that I can review it on the channel. Hopefully soon!
It's been on my radar since I've seen reviews on RUclips! Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching! I've really enjoyed the game so far. Excited to try the Rift expansion too, but that won't be here until February... sad sound effect.
Nice video. I like how in depth you went into the components as well as the gameplay.
Thanks! Still getting my RUclips legs under me, but I do enjoy it and hope that my structure is at least a little different from the other wonderful creators out there. Thanks for watching!
Just to add to this beautiful review: It is a very tight, medium-weight game. Yet, the other I taught it to a complete rookie in the game world, someone who has only played less than a handful of board games (Ticket to ride: Europe being the most difficult one she has touched) and she almost won the freaking thing, if it wasn't because on my friends realized she could sell some stuff for a better price on her last turn (she won by 4 points). So yeah, it may be a little tough on how much you may have to think at first, but after your first full round it becomes very obvious how to play it. I recommend people to be very orderly when explaining how to play it because it can be a tad daunting at first, but nothing really serious. And finally, don't make the same mistakes I did: - you can sell your goods even if you already used all your action tokens aka all your round dice tokens were slid up. - you can refill the cubes on the last round, what doesn't happen is that you don't get new missions. - don't forget that last round (fifth for 4P, sixth for less than 4P). It might be a little confusing bc of the design of those mission cards, but the last round is still there. - you CAN sell artifacts and handicrafts in the villages, although they'll always give you the least amount of money for them.
Thanks for the thoughts! I totally agree and really loved this one. Looking forward to seeing what these designers do next!
I’ve never seen anyone doing 80+, the only person claiming to easily do a 90 on bgg turned out to be mistaken or smth, I don’t remember. 60-80 is more than doable. The main idea is: 1) gardeners earlier, 2) courtiers combined with samurai later 3) you need to put out at least 12 meeples, meaning that every 3 turns you put at least 4. If you don’t - dig for combos and never go for 2 “empty” turns. It’s fine to spend a turn on resources if you really get a lot of them, but then you need to place 2 meeples each turn. You should always take a starting lantern card with additional decree card and then go for lantern and always search for powerful combos. Never accumulate money, they mean nothing. Never take a well explicitly, only from the cards you activate. Almost never use 1 iron samurai space, it doesn’t initiate a combo. 5 iron samurai are the best, tbh. And me personally I never care about moving the courtiers up or gaining influence, that doesn’t really matter, though I might be wrong. Some posters on bgg advice to keep your starting personal pad card as long as possible, what means neglecting moving the courtiers from the gate, I’m not sure if that’s viable, though starting personal pad cards are really good. Good luck in searching for combos, I would be glad to see deep strategy dive from you.
Wow, you've put a lot of thought here! 80 does seem like a tough score to get to, but I'm hopeful that I'll have a really excellent play one day. I'll try to get 12 meeples out next time. I think I only got 9-10 last game. It's a tough puzzle, for sure.
3 points. Never played.
It’s a good one! I prefer it to Camel Up.
3 points. Wanted to pick this up at GenCon 2019 when it was released, but didn't... Now I want it again!
Nice! It's a brain burner, at least for me!
3 points!
Really like this one.
Hadn't played it. Zero points!
You'll get the next one! I'd highly recommend it though, if you like Euro games.
This one looks super unique.
That's true!
How to win
Just need to enter at supergamebrothers.com and we'll randomly select a winner after 05/31/24.
A classic!
Yeah, it kinda is at this point!
Good game
Yeah, I really enjoy it. Have you played solo?
@@GamingTopDown I created the solo mode. I'm Ariel Di Costanzo, excuse my English. With "good game" I was referring to your play
@@magojacko Oh, wow! Thanks for the compliment, and thanks so much for stopping by my channel. I really love the game, by the way! I'll look forward to your next one too!
Nicely Done! Tks for your time and job!
My pleasure! Game is super fun. We'll see if I can win on medium difficulty next time. (Also, congrats on the game launch!)
@@GamingTopDown you will... with a little practice 😅
0 points i guessed tax evasion monopoly 😢
Tax evasion Monopoly sounds intense!
@@GamingTopDown if it was real it would be intense wonder how it would work tho
Thats not a real game. I am sick of these left leaning robots spreading fake news!!! >=(
😂
I thought it was dominos😅
Definitely has a similar vibe! Great guess!
I dont know this game.
Can't win 'em all! I post these every day though, so I'm sure you'll get one soon! Thanks for stopping by.
Now show a video of fitting it all back in after unboxing ;)
Haha yeah, I had heard that was an issue, but surprisingly I got it to fit just fine. I don't keep the 4 extra rulebooks in the box though, so I'm sure that helps. Thanks for stopping by!
