I would also add Evergreen and TRAILS (or PARKS) to the list. I love Meadow and am looking forward to trying the Downstream expansion. I think the aquatic art would mesmerize me, too, during the game. I guess I’ll just let everyone else’s canoes pass me by while I’m looking at everything around me!
Floriferous 👍 I also enjoy Bosk, Succulent, Planted, Living Forest, Renature, & Mariposas. It makes me feel like I'm an outdoorsy person (which I most certainly am not!).
Love Cascadia and Wingspan. Earth and Meadows sound fun. Love Alicia's laugh when she realized you both had the same number 1. I definitely want to try it since it's both your number 1.
Alicia - I don't have a green thumb either! I enjoy playing Cottage Garden because it gives me the feeling of gardening (without the heat, sweat, bugs, and filth). And I'm with you Dwayne, I hate hot weather!
@@blackboardgaming5348 😂😜70, you silly goose! More like 55-60, low humidity, light wind, cloudy... Ahhh, nice & cozy. I'll take 70 & sunny maybe one day a week.
I'd add to the ones you both mentioned and others here in the comments I've seen: Arboretum and Honey Buzz. Meadows is indeed my top nature themed. If you include the nature of celestial bodies, I'd add Planetarium, and if you include, like Herbaceous, nature at home, then I'd add Verdant and Planted to the list too. I like so many of that theme that I'd struggle choosing my top ones.
I've played Planetarium, and I need to find a copy because I really liked it. Alicia thought about Honey Buzz, and I suggested putting that one in a fun economics video. The others are great choices!
Great lists! Meadow is high up on the list of must plays and you guys have just notched it up even higher! We love Parks and Trails and have recently been enjoying Savernake Forest.
Wingspan ranks up there for me too. I added it to my collection this past winter after playing the solo mode a few times the previous year. I picked up Meadow around the same time without having played it because I'd seen good reviews and happened to find it on clearance, so I took a chance on it. I liked that it had a solo mode too. I've only played the multiplayer version of each game once so far, but I do want to get both of them to the table more this spring. Wingspan ranks higher for me cos it feels more robust, but I like that Meadow is still a fun puzzle and with a more mellow vibe. Other games that come to mind are Everdell (like someone else mentioned too), which is one of my top 10 favorite games, and Hive, which is a chess-like puzzle.
It was a super lucky find, and I don't understand why it was on clearance. Cos the store had copies of Meadow at regular price on the shelf, but there was one copy of the game on the clearance table. It was still shrink wrapped, as were all its components, so it wasn't a used copy. Or maybe it was an unopened used copy? So far this year I've only played it once solo and once with two friends, but I'm looking forward to getting it to the table more in the coming months.
Fantastic list and video! I have most of those games too and it was great to see both of your enthusiasm for them. I also have been enjoying Earth as it is also one of my newest games.
My list would have Wingspan, Mariposas, Cascadia, Habitats, and Living Forest. Wingspan Oceania is the one you forgot, with the nectar! Love Nature theme it always brings me into any game and have bought games strictly from y’all’s recommendations like Succulent
I see that Aang T-shirt in a Nature theme show nice touch!!

Parks & Evergreen is on my 6-10 list. Alicia is mad because she forgot Parks😄😄😄
@@blackboardgaming5348 🤣🤣🤣

Great choices! I'm saving Mariposas for another video!

It's a good one! Easy to learn and play.
I love Earth, Parks & Cascadia too ❤ I'd like to try Meadow some time! Great video👍
Oh, you would love introducing Meadow to your family & friends!
Great list, I agree with your number 1 and 2 for sure, again thanks for introducing me to Meadow. 😁
Definitely get the Downstream expansion, Daryle!
@@blackboardgaming5348 I will
Thanks for including Canopy on this awesome list!
You are welcome! Thank you for designing such an awesome game!
Yes! Love Meadow! Great list y'all.
Thanks!!
Yes! Meadow is so good and I think under appreciated.
Meadow would join Gift of Tulips, Wingspan, Living Forest and Cascadia in my top five.
Living Forest is on my shelf of opportunity.
@@blackboardgaming5348 I really enjoy it. If you are on BGA, let me know if you’d like to play a learning game of it.
Love you guys!
Thank you!

Yeah, I enjoy a crisp 70 degree day.

@Donna Keferlis I was being generous! I'm more 60-65 with partly cloudy.

@@blackboardgaming5348 Yeap, Honey Buzz is more economic with the market and everything. I look forward to that video too!

I can't wait to try Savernake Forest!
@blackboardgaming5348 I think it's one you will both enjoy. Let us know what you think when you have the chance to try it 😀

Everdell is my favorite game of all time. I put Everdell on my fantasy world list.
You found Meadow on clearance? You lucky duck!

@@francopdx yeah, you scored a good one!
Great job as always!
Thanks!!
You seem like such fun and sweet people!! I loved this video! Thank you for the recommendations.
You're welcome!
Fantastic list and video! I have most of those games too and it was great to see both of your enthusiasm for them. I also have been enjoying Earth as it is also one of my newest games.
Yeah, Earth is great! Figuring out where to place your cards so that your engine runs efficiently is fascinating!

I have Living Forest and haven't tried it yet. You gotta try Meadow!
Photosynthesis and Artemis!
Two good choices!
