I've played about seven of these, and they are all great. I wish I could play them more. Making of a President is a game where you always feel you're behind. Rebellion is just plain fun. Allhambra works great with our friends who are not heavy gamers, and every game is different. Have fun playing these games.
I got to play several older games for the first time during 2024: 1. Power Grid (2004) 2. Istanbul (2014) 3. Tongiaki: Journey into the Unknown (2004) 4. Attika (2003) 5. Kingdom Builder (2011) 6. Snow Tails (2008) 7. Amun-Re (2003) 8. Clans of Caledonia (2017) 9. Sardegna (2005) 10. Big Shot (2001) Most of the time I'm looking forward to playing older games than games that just came out in the current year or 2.
Your top 3 are must plays for folks who like strategy laden heavier games. If you played age of innovation you have “played” terra Mystica from what I’ve heard.
First of all, I totally understand that you've got games you've never played before. I've got a lot of games in my collection I still have to try out. But just because I don't have a lot of time playing them. I'm interested in Alhambra and The Gallerist. I really like a good Lacerda game and I've got a few already. The Gallerist is on my BGG wishlist, but I'm not sure if I would like it. Concordia is one and also Coffie Roaster and I'm ashamed to say A feast for Odin. So yeah that's my list. But there are many more..
Terra Mystica is on my list too. That and War of the Ring have been on my shelf for over a year without being played. The only ones I have played on this list are Final Girl (not my jam) and Watergate which is a great game
I just played La Granja... why did I wait so long! I am going to work hard on my shelf of shame this year. Amritsar Messina 1347 Forgotten Depths Barcelona Darwin's Journey Kutna Hora - The City of Silver GWT - Argentina Tribes of the Wind Hegemony Sabika Fields of Green Unfathomable The Shadow Planet Arkeis There are more but how would you rank these... say top three must plays?
wtf is that commercial for Alhambra, why are they playing it on rock tiles near a public fountain, just the thought of all the humidity getting into the game is killing me 😭
Ugh I have sooo many games like this on my list. And movies. And books. And albums… At a certain point, there’s no catching up. Better to just live in the moment and play whatever has you excited at the time. That being said… play Final Girl for real tho
I kept trying to rock out and dance during the Alhambra section but for some reason there was some dude's voice quietly speaking underneath the music.
I came to the comments as soon as i saw 😅 still don’t know what he said about Alhambra….
What!? 😂 🕺
So weird, Nick.
Hey guys- your music track on the Alhambra section is overriding you audio track you can barely hear what is being said.
Nick wasn't crucified for his Alhambra lack of play....but he was musically suffocated 😅
Trickerion is reeaaally underrated , very good game
At the end of the year you should do a video to see how many you played. Great video as always.

Can’t believe I’ve played 8 of these
The Gallerist is incredible. So glad you guys got into Lacerda games.
2P: Rebellion!
1P: Final Girl!

Love that GMT games get some more love!
I absolutely love all my final girl games. And I love how you can mix and match everything.
The Gallerist is a great game. Setup is a chore, but it all works so well. Love the game.
Really want a follow up video to this in December - how many you did end playing
Queen Games hijacked the Alhambra section. Well played QG, well played.

Nick I'm going to go out on a limb and say Alhambra is going to be in your top 100 after playing it.
the music during Alhambra is so high volume I can barely hear whats being said

I wanna play Wealth of Nations. It was popular when I was starting in the hobby, but never saw it sold locally.
Play Final Girl! You're going to love it. I want to check out Trickerion from this list.
great choses, i might try for spirit island, as well some of yours.
Terra Mystica is on my list too. That and War of the Ring have been on my shelf for over a year without being played. The only ones I have played on this list are Final Girl (not my jam) and Watergate which is a great game
Yes I think you will really enjoy Watergate!
Ooo I didn't want to skip ahead. I thought for sure Alchemists would be on here.
the Alhambra section has some music that drowns out most of the commentary
I also want to try Trickerion
I just played La Granja... why did I wait so long! I am going to work hard on my shelf of shame this year.

I haven’t played Alhambra either and there is a new version the Red Palace or something like that!
Play Alhambra it's relaxful then do Final Girl to put you back on edge.
My best friend and I play 1960 every election year.
Am I suddenly on hold?
wtf is that commercial for Alhambra, why are they playing it on rock tiles near a public fountain, just the thought of all the humidity getting into the game is killing me 😭
I'm first to comment! You guys are great! What's going on with the music on#7?
We've done all of its relatives already 😂😂😂
I like Alhambra give it a run.
Final Girl is "fun" love this theme in October.
Nick play Final Girl already!
Ugh I have sooo many games like this on my list. And movies. And books. And albums… At a certain point, there’s no catching up. Better to just live in the moment and play whatever has you excited at the time. That being said…
play Final Girl for real tho
I would like to see y'all play Star Wars: Rebellion on RUclips.
Music is louder than dialogue
#7 the music is drowning out the commentary.
Man I thought these were really older games. Only Alhambra qualifies. Everything else is basically hotness level.
5 other games are over 10 years old, they are older games for sure.
Older? Hahah say something like Magic Realm, thats older. Or maybe some card game from the 90'
6 of them are over 10 years old, I’d say that’s older 🙂
Magic Realm? Older? Hahah say something like Backgammon or The Royal Game of Ur, that's older. Or maybe some dice game from the 900' (BC of course)
