8000 subscribers - wow! That is so awesome. I didn’t know you liked Can’t Stop so much! I really like it, too. We should play that one soon! I usually play Can’t Stop Express solo.
Right? I can't believe there are so many people interested in what I have to say about board games! 🙈 Let's play Can't Stop on BGA soon! You want to invite me to a game? And I didn't realize you can play Can't Stop Express solo-that's really cool! I'll have to try that sometime! ☺️
Thank you so much, Joe!! 🥳 Congrats on almost 3K yourself-you are absolutely killing it!! 🔥 And I've played SO many games of Lost Cities on BGA... over 300 plays! We should play over there sometime! (And Sea Salt & Paper is so good, too!) 🦀 And the app is absolutely phenomenal-I don't want to know how many hours I've spent on the app already!
Architects is my favorite of the 7 Wonders games. I haven't tried LOTR Duel yet, though. Have you checked out Pirates of Maracaibo yet? Probably my favorite game from last year. I need to learn straight up Maracaibo.
Architects is fun but I definitely prefer the original and Duel more! And LOTR Duel is such a winner-you've got to give it a go! 🧙🏻♂️ I have yet to play Pirates of Maracaibo but I'd really like to! From what I can tell, though, once you're comfortable with Pirates of Maracaibo you're probably at least 80% ready to play Maracaibo! (One of my all-time favorites!) ⚓️ Maybe we can play together sometime-I'd be happy to teach you!
Totally agree about Dominion! Omg what an outstandingly perfect app! Endless replayability and crazily good AI too... Really addictive 🤤 I'll try Space Base... Something I noticed is that some BGA games have an appropriate background, that's nice, because the wooden table basic background becomes a bit boring 😌
Right?! It just plays SO smoothly on the app and I'm continually baffled at how well the AI opponent is designed-with the virtually infinite combinations of kingdom cards, projects, events, landmarks, etc. I have no idea how they somehow manage to analyze and determine a "best" move... and the hard AI is HARD! 😵💫 But that's partly what makes it so addictive, right? (I was on the app for WAY too long yesterday trying to beat the daily challenge and finally got it!) Space Base is also so much fun and you're right, the thematic background is nice on that game! 🚀 Always happy to play a game of that over on BGA if you're interested-I'm "BoardGameDave" over there as well!
Congrats on the baby! I'm sure you guys will be incredible parents! One of my goals this year is to play more games online and solo. I often get intimidated that others are much more skilled than I am. I love to play Spelndor on BGA as it highlights the cards I can buy so I don't need to think about it 😆.
Thank you so much! Hannah's due in mid-March so we're really getting into crunch time right now! (I was just assembling the combination car seat/stroller last night!) 😬 That's a great goal for 2025, though! I'm all for more solo and online gaming! And of course there's no need to be intimidated playing other people online... you're going to be better than average at certain games and not so much at other games! Who's judging, right? ☺️ If you'd like to play a turn-based game of Splendor sometime you can send me a friend request over there if you'd like! I'm "BoardGameDave" on BGA as well! 👍🏻
We definitely will! 🥰 Sounds like your oldest is almost ready for middle school-that's exciting! ☺️ Thanks for the friend request-I went ahead and sent you an invite to a game of Splendor!
Played a few of those with you. Will play more in the new year since we connected. Trying to clear my queue right now so I can edit my username to add something about my channel.
That's right, 7 Wonders Architects and Potion Explosion! ⚗️ Looking forward to more gaming with you in 2025! (And yes, I did that a few years ago, too!)
Oh, Spots is a cute one! 🐾 And I remember watching a review video for Captain Flip but haven't tried that one yet-I didn't realize it was on BGA! Thank you for the suggestions! ☺️
Updated top 100 time? :) Also there are so many good games being added to BGA right now. Let's Go! To Japan (just went live) GWT El Paso (alpha) Pirates of Maracaibo (beta) Beer & Bread (beta) Stonespine Architects (beta) River of Gold (live)
Oh man, I am so overdue for an updated Top 100 list! (It's been over a year and a half since I last did my rankings!) 😳 Thanks for sharing some of the best new games over there on BGA-believe it or not, I just read through the El Paso rulebook this morning (we had a two-hour delay) and I'm keen to get a game of that going! Wanna do a turn-based game together? 🏜️ I've been looking into River of Gold some more too and that seems like a lot of fun! And you know I've been eager to play Pirates of Maracaibo, too! So many games, so little time! 😅 Hope you're doing well, Dale!
It would be on my top 10 most played if you'd play with me on BGA more often! 😉 Thanks for checking out the video and for all the great ideas for the channel, man! 🧠
Try as I might I cannot get into Shifting Stones. It feels like there’s no agency and I find myself just waiting to be in a position to #core a goal pattern.
Haha, I can totally understand that feeling, especially once you start getting into those higher player counts! I find that (at least at 2P) you can sort of plan ahead and work toward some of those higher-scoring cards! ☺️ I'm glad you've been able to give it a try, though!
I like Dune: Imperium! In fact, I've played it four times over the years (and won three of those four games)! ☺️ It's not on Board Game Arena though, otherwise I'd probably try it on there! Is it one of your favorites?

Congrats on 8K subs!!!! 🎉 my top 2 gaes on BGA were lost cities and sea salt and paper! Also that dominion app is so intuitive and smooth!

We definitely will! 🥰 Sounds like your oldest is almost ready for middle school-that's exciting! ☺️ Thanks for the friend request-I went ahead and sent you an invite to a game of Splendor!

@@BoardGameDave I learned Space Base recently. Maybe we can get that in while my queue clears.
Let's do it! 🚀
My two games that I played the most on BGA is Spots and Capitan Flip 😂
Oh, Spots is a cute one! 🐾 And I remember watching a review video for Captain Flip but haven't tried that one yet-I didn't realize it was on BGA! Thank you for the suggestions! ☺️

No challengers on this list?
I've never played it and hardly know anything about it, although it looks intriguing! 🦖 Maybe you'll have to teach it to me sometime! ☺️
@@BoardGameDave Would you play async games?
Definitely! Hit me up for a turn-based game sometime! 👍🏼
