I enjoy Azul, and I'm happy to play any iteration of it and be reminded of the rules, but I only own the Queen's Garden version, which I've heard is the most complex. I do really like the puzzle of that particular game. And Sagrada is a well-worn favorite, one of the first games I bought getting into the hobby. I play it on the app, and I still welcome it at game night every time it's suggested.

Especially BECAUSE the industry moves so fast now, a minimum of 10 years should elapse before "modern classic" is declared.

Yay! Fun video 🎉 we really like Azul in BGA and have the mini version. Sagrada looks nice too but we’ve not played it yet. Mycelia looks gorgeous! We’ve had it on the wishlist for a while now, maybe one day. We love mushrooms in nature and on our plates 😅 Enjoy your break 😊

Appreciate this explanation of these three. Well, I LOVE Sagrada already. It's our most played!

For Mycelia - will the cards still fit in the organizer if they're sleeved? The game looks very cool! And enjoy your break!

We actually had a friend over to play games for the first time in years. We even played a classic (?) game for the first time in Splendor. We have seen it constantly in stores, but never played it and had a whale of a time. We also played Star Flux a few times and I won twice by accident because someone accidentally played cards that just allowed me to win. And while I didn't do much to earn it, a victory is a victory. Enjoy your time away! Good to recharge those batteries every now and again!

Sagrada is our top played game and my partner's #1! We have all the expansions for it too which just adds even more variability and replayability. Some of the expansion modules can help with the luck mitigation as well, but we have slowly come to terms with knowing that we won't always be able to complete our window as perfectly as we'd like. I think there is some appeal in that though, because it's like "maybe next time I'll get it!" 😄

Have a good break!

We just got final girl too! Looking forward to play it (it’s more a Joana’s thing than Christian’s, but we will both try!) We got the cabin one, but if we like it, we’ll get the North Pole too!, thanks for another great video 🥰

Oh nice, we are going to try that idea of not including fields in Carcassonne! We loved the game so much that we went for the Big Box! 😭 ahah We have some of the games in this section of the list that we still need to try! With Robinson Crusoe and the Ryan Laukat ones high in our wishlist 🤩 Great top 10 🥳What an adventure this top 50 was! Ahah We loved that you shared it with us, Thank you! 🥰

Congrats on the anniversary! Enjoy watching each of your videos!!!

Nice list! Final girl... I know it's a good game but something keeps me from buying it... Skulls of Sedlec, I love button shy games, but just like you the theme made me doubt until now. You think you will buy the expansions? My favourite spooky game: The Bloody Inn and its expansion The Carnies 👌👀

Ummmm, your style is AMAZING. And I LOVE that you don't see most of these in top tens. So well done!!

Final Girl shouldn't take you that long to play. Also, North Pole is the same difficulty level as the other ones. Where did you hear it was easier? BTW - I love tea as well and I really like that you start each episode talking about your mug if tea. It makes me want to put the kettle on!

I tried Werewolf over a decade ago. I had never done a social deduction game and it was at a New Years Eve party where I knew exactly 2 people and everyone else was a stranger. I get told that we are playing Werewolf and there is a group of 20 people and someone is running the game. There are no time limits to anything and it was brutal! I don't think I vibe with social deduction, especially with people I don't know. I remember there were two games and both times I was just a humble villager and no one was killing me or whenever they tried I was randomly saved by another player unbeknownst to me. So I sat in this circle for hours, my two pals killed way earlier and I was in the final 5 both times. It was just so long, tedious, and unpleasant. I feel like the way you did it, with a smaller group of people you know, is perhaps a better way. I'm glad you had a good time and have been enjoying some spooky gaming! I always love hearing what you have been getting up to each week!

My tea today is an organic black Chai with a splash of egg nog. Costco started stocking egg nog, so I started buying it :P I'm trying real hard to not buy Final Girl. I don't really play Solo games, and the ones I do own I feel like I should play more. Bullet, Paperback Adventures, and Kinfire Delve are all just sitting on my shelf waiting for me to come back to them. Eventually.

I was resistant to Final Girl for the longest time because the theme is not for me (I'm a big scaredy cat! LOL). I love solo gaming though so it stayed on my radar and finally I was drawn in by the Krampus theme. I enjoyed my first play despite losing terribly. 😅I don't think I'll ever get all the feature films but I think it will be one I come back to at least every holiday season.

11:46 - that's what my husband said, cut to him playing Final Girl non-stop... bought series 1 & 2... and now LOVES solos! Which is good bc he's retired and I work. He's so happy he doesn't have to wait for me to get his game on!!

Forest Shuffle is great on BGA. I keep seeing folks talking about Above and Below. Really need to check this one out! I *adore* Sea Salt & Paper - definitely have to get the expansion still. I've only seen the 4 mermaid win once on BGA. I just started playing Robinson Crusoe on Tabletop Simulator and it's a harsh game! Very fun, but very punishing. I love a lot of the games on your list and you've got TWO Ryan Laukat games on your top 10. Clearly I need to check his stuff out! *cries* I want Firefly SO BADLY!! But the KS came out before I got into board games (but I've been in love with the IP for ages). I still hope to get it some day. And it was canceled WAY too soon. Stupid Fox. I love Terraforming Mars Area Expedition. The original TM is similar enough I think I know what I'm doing, but different enough that I never really do and lose every time I try to play it.

Well I thought I commented on this earlier today at work but it must not have posted. Another great list, Susan. Ie's always interesting to see games I've never heard of before on people's lists. I also have an idea to get together a group of small content creators to help each other grow. Let me know if you are interested. I would love to do a small content creator panel of sorts that we could all share out and prompt each other. If interested I will send you me email address. We are live streaming some game play this Wednesday.

The scramble board is awesome! I was wondering, have you played Agricola or Caverna? I know you have Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small. Just curious if you've played the original. Agricola's not at all wide open like Fields of Arle, but Caverna is closer to that in a way. - Jayne (ps. Jen hooted when you announced Bunny Kingdom!)

Great list! We were also huge firefly fans and so sad when it was cancelled!

Hey, new subscriber here! I also love tea and board games. My tea today was "velvety vanilla" from Tea Desire. Thanks for sharing your favourite games, I love your energy! I'm looking forward to watching your backlog of videos!

We love Terraforming Mars in our house. I think it is the game we have played most often and is probably the game that my husband requests the most. I hope you are able to table it soon and you let us know how it goes in a video. If you don't have any double-layer played boards, just watch your sleeves or you'll be scooting those little cubes all over the place! I'm very intrigued by Above and Below. I saw the Haunted version on Gamefound and was curious about it. Did you end up backing it?

Yay! We have been enjoying these videos :) Really cool idea regarding Scrabble! Maybe one day when we have a dedicated spare table we can set up a game to keep going as we go about our day. It could work quite well with other games too I'd think, like Boop! 🐈 Interesting to learn Ugly Gryphon Inn can be quite a table hog; It's one we've been wanting to get for a while but I think we'll have to go the route of PnP with it. I wonder if it could work well at 70% scale so it'd take up less space 🤔(Something I saw folks mentioning over on the Button Shy discord - it'll be fun to try!) That Co-Op train game too looks nice, we'd not heard of this one before! Thanks for another great video and for making our wishlist of games ever larger 😅

It's not anticlimactic! I am at the edge of my seat watching your list! I'm glad it's not like the typical top ten lists. I really like your take on things 👍

I would play any of these games with you, Susan. Great lisst!

I figured out a logical method of working Milestones into Terraforming Mars solo. I haven't yet figured out how to incorporate Awards.

Another good list! I was happy to see Spaceshipped on the list! - Jayne

"The only thing I don't like about Herbacious is that among the herbs they do not have Basil, which makes no sense whatsoever to me" 😂😂😂 these kind of remarks make Tea and Games unique! ✨👌

Great List! We love Fossilis, Cartographers, Creature Comforts, etc... We're obviously behind on our watching but working on catching up!

I like Scrabble a lot. I love Quiddler. I've been waiting to get Gloom In Space to the table for years. Horrified is great.

Hehe, yes, I was going to say "You like your train games!" Not surprised Gloom appeared so often. You wouldn't have so many variations and the big box if you didn't love it! I have Horrified American Monsters, which I really like. I got it used pretty inexpensively, mostly to see how I felt about it. So now I need to get Universal Monsters too! Bunny Kingdom is great on BGA - I suspect it's even better in person. Another one I've got. I like Welcome to... a lot! Can't wait to see your top 10!

It has been a delight to watch your Evacuation journey! I’m so glad you enjoyed it😊

Space Explorers is one I'm definitely interested in checking out! I have Let's Go! to Japan and it's one of my top 10 games (just retail version). The artwork is so beautiful and the text is really cool! I picked up an older version of TTR Europe, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. I got to play Moonrakers at 3P at my FLGS recently and it was tons of fun!

I really need to give Ugly Gryphon Inn a go. I actually played A Gentle Rain just yesterday. Work has been so busy and I needed a quick break from my screen so I played 2 games and then got back to it. It was nicety just have a calm reset. And I think you're crushing it! No discombobulation noticed on my end. 🙂

I like Herbaceous a lot - although as a solo game, I like Floriferous better. I haven't gotten to try any of the other games on your 40-31 list.

Another good list. Love seeing a classic game, Scrabble, make it high on a list. I love the table presence of Life of Amazonia, but I I only play solo and am not a fan of the solo mode. I added Ugly Gryphon Inn to my KS pledge of A Nice Cuppa (tea themed button shy game coming) recently. I got Horrified American Monsters really cheap a couple years ago. I played it once solo. Interesting game. Not sure if it's for me or not. Have to play it again. Welcome To was our first modern flip and write. Still a good one. It's my #3 flip-n-write (Cartographers and Pioneer Rails are #1/#2 for me). I'm very intrigued by Gentle Rain.

Sleeping Gods is one of my favorite games these days (I've only played it solo though). Persuit of Happiness is one that I *really* want to try! "The guy I dated, I just dated for his resources" - had me cracking up! Congratulations on 100 episodes!

Love Cafe Baras. I think you may have gotten a little bump in viewers because someone mentioned your channel last week on Jamey Stegmaier's weekly live cast on the Stonemaier Games page. I believe he subscribed while doing his live stream. =

Ahah yes we were one of those that panicked regarding the Evacuation game 😅 Cool to hear the Zapotec strategy worked! Cafe Baras is so cute! Ours is on the way 🎉

That whole group of games, Creature Comforts, Cafe Baras, just look so cute and cozy! Really want to play them at some point. When it comes to sleeving cards, do you have any recommendations? I want to sleeve Terraforming Mars because it is the game that we have played the most and is showing some signs of wear. Is there a specific brand or do you look for sleeves specific to the game? I've not sleeved a game before, so not sure if there is a right or wrong way to go about it.

You're rocking the best earings Susan (tea pot and a tea cup!) And we always love your T-shirts! We agree with you when you said that games should be good on their own without the expansion. We can get the expansion if it makes it better, but only if the base game is already good! A nice selection of games! Some more space ones for us to check out too! Moonrakers is really appealing for us but we held off because you had previously mentioned it's not that great at 2-players; but a new one from them recently made our radar - Moonrollers! We love dice 🤩so I hope this will play good at two. I didn't expect that Ticket to Ride to be so huge! Really cool though - we've yet to get the Europe version so if we get some more games in and decide we really like the game, maybe we will consider this one day (Or even hold out for the 20th anniversary) 🤣

Interesting choices! Wonderful to see 'the Captain is Dead'... Did you try the app? I like the way they respected the art in this app. In fact the app itself is a piece of art 🙂

Many more great games on this part of the list: Love me some Parks, Let's Go To Japan, New York Zoo, TtR (all of them). SpaceShipped just hasn't hit for me.

Love Creature Comforts, Tenpenny Parks, and Cartographers. We just learned Fossilis the other night.

Canopy Evergreen looks so good! We still need to get the first one, so I wonder which one of the two would be best to get if you could choose just one. The inside boxes (inserts) are a great idea! Hopefully more publishers will start doing that. And by the way, the numbered boxes were in numerical number! It was when you took one out to show how small they were and put it back in that they got out of order Ahah Evacuation looks like a good game! The idea of it, the theme and mission and actions look cool! We were waiting for your review actually to see what you would say about it. It was on our “to wait and see” but now it is on our wishlist! Ahah We will keep an eye out for a discount sale for it though. We watch your games before bed, and leave it to comment on the following day… only to be reminded that we forgot to comment when you release a new one! 😭🤣

"A cure for the 'beige game'..." made me burst out laughing.

i love your channel!! i think you are great!! keep on doing what you are doing!! ✌️❤

I love your origin story! You problem-solving and being brave has brought more joy to the world! 👏
