Enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Thank you for the video and see you next week.

I recently did my personal 5 and dime for polyomino and non-polyonimo tile laying games on my channel. My top 3 polyomino were: Tenpenny Parks, Isle of Cats, World Wonders My top 3 non-polyomino were: Cascadia, Beacon Patrol, Azul:Summer Pavilion I will do my top 10 overall at some point, but I have a few in my collection of each that I need to play. BTW-It's Tan-gram (they are short a sounds), not Tengrem I love Apiary, it's my #1 solo game, but I wouldn't put it in the tile placement category. It has tile placement in in but it is a worker placement game that leads to everything else IMO. I would say tile placement is the secondary mechanism for it. There are so many ways to score in it. SM isn't heavy at all. As for Harmonies all I heard about it was that it was an Azul killer. I heard no negativity against it.

Thank you so much for the games. Love the channel and I'm really looking forward to playing Wandering Towers.

Nice lists. I would maybe add Land Vs Sea and The Isle of Cats Big Box. Also for me Carcassonne, the OG as you mentioned, is still my number 1 if you include ALL expansions like the Maps or the latest Wonders of Humanity etc.

WTG, Tyler! We all hate you! ;-)

Ron Popeil! He was sort of the original infomercial guy... or the "As Seen on TV" product guy. RonCo... sold stuff like Mr. Microphone, The Pocket Fisherman, Rotisserie ovens, food dehydrators, etc...

Hey JT! Quadropolis is in my top 10 games period. Good pick!

Liked the game play very much, however, it is not forgiving. If you make a simple mistake, you will get punished for it. It does reward forward planning and hope someone doesn't mess up your plans by changing the market. ( Always happens in a 4 player game ) Thanks for covering.

Isle of Skye

During the Bottom 5, I thought the lighter Uwe Rosenberg game Sam was talking about was going to be Patchwork. That one is probably his lowest complexity game: 1.60 weight on BGG.

Excellent list, Sam and TJ!! Foundations of Metropolis, Apiary, and Cascadia are in my top 3 tile placement games. I'm looking forward to adding more tiles to my copy of Apiary with the "Expanding the Hive" expansion for Apiary.

Agreed that A Feast for Odin is my #1 tile laying game too. But to be fair I also rate Foundations of Rome a 10/10, so excellent choices gents. For a smaller footprint game, I would consider “Sprawlopolis” a tile layer, it’s cards, but hey if minis count then so should cards lol. I think it’s my favorite of the small box tile laying games.

Two really good top 10 lists.

...& where's Carpe Diem, Dice Theme Park, N.Y. Zoo, Overboss,....THE COLONISTS for crying out loud.Even Origins: First Builders; a stretch but point of game is buying Building Tiles to form City Districts.

"Why does a simple game have to be under produced?"...PRICE!!!!...Mr. Moneybags. We all don't have a Fortune 500 RUclips channel. Or access to a neverending Inventory .... (Gamer Snob...geesh)

Some constructive feedback: please check audio levels. It keeps clipping. I think mostly with Sam’s mic. Keep up the great videos!

I think polyomino tile games where the you have to fit the pieces like a puzzle feel a lot different than tile laying games were the tiles are the same shape and their placement is influenced by other goals such as scoring. I also have to admit that I agree with Sam (ouch, that hurt) in that Suburbia was a miss for me as well. Carcassonne is an evergreen game for me, so I would have left it on the list. I haven't played Kohaku, but another really fun tile laying game where you place tiles in a checkerboard pattern for scoring is Cacao. The tiles in Cacao have four "meeples" in various distributions on the edges which determine number of resources produced and area influence depending on how they are oriented and what they are placed next to. Hive an Patchwork are fun tile games for two players. If you like polyomino tile placement, in addition to Patchwork, you might try Cottage Garden, especially if you like cute games with a gardening theme and, to a lesser extent, cats. Another good game Sam mentioned liking fairly recently and may have missed is Bonsai. So many good games in the tile placement category.

Ouch, this was rough, apparently tile placement isn't something I love. The Great games I consider tile placement are Carcassonne and Sub terra, guess I'm out of touch.

I’m sorta new to the channel and appreciate things like this…shows your commitment and interest in us lurkers waiting for something amazing to happen

Tom!!

Wow! 3 hours to get to an airport is crazy. I live less than 10 minutes from the St. Louis airport. Whenever I have to fly, it's so convenient.

Thank you for the playthrough.

Thank you for the video.

Beautiful scenery for a drive.

This solo play is awesome, thank you! I have it set up on my table now to solo and this has been so helpful in getting me going. First video of yours I've come across, I will be checking out more!

Such a fantastic time at the retreat, as always! Not even home yet and already counting down the days til next year's retreat! Thank you Sam for playing Invincible with Rachel 😂😂😂

PARKS is one of my favorite games so I was surprised to hear you hadn't played it before. Anyway, looking forward to find out what was your favorite new-to-you game.

Enjoyed all the con videos. Thank you Sam.

Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sam. Just want you to know how much I have enjoyed your vlogs from the retreat. I appreciate the effort to film edit and post these each day. Thanks!

Thanks for the shout out Sam! Heh, someone said "please say Pod Racing" when Sam was talking about my Endor retheme of Chariot Race. Not the first time I've heard that! I did do a Pod Racing version about 2 years before. That can be seen in the opening collage of my Flipside videos or in the QR code link at the end under Designing for Fun. Cheers!

Thanks for all these, Sam!

How is it possible that it is less hot and humid? You are not getting used to it are you? We are not moving to Florida:) 😂

It’s like 95 over here in Indiana, it’s hot but thankfully not humid.

Oooh... that's a pet peeve of mine... not being able to finish a game.

The golden age of air travel is a great theme so I'm looking forward to hearing more about 1930. Pan-Am is a fun game with the same theme.

Thank you for the video.
