    I can’t get over the variety in your lists. You really are omnigamers. I wish I loved direct interaction games more (although there are some I get on with, like Unmatched and Villainous). Are there mechanics or genres of games you wished you loved more?

    • @FostertheMeeple

      Yea. We definitely have come to terms with that reality. And are fully embracing it. Hmm great question! For me, I’d say polynomial puzzlers, they are Jamie’s favourites (and some I do really enjoy like Planet Unknown), but my brain has a tough time puzzling out that kind of game so it’s tough.

    I'm not sure if it's a thing in Nova Scotia but a classic fisher person's hat In Newfoundland is a sou' wester. Might have to get my hands on one and send it to ya. It's similar to the hat ur wearing in this video just a longer back for water to run off.
    I really enjoyed this segment of your top 50. I actually died laughing when Jaime started singing London bridge and Jeff just like froze and just waited for Jaime's song to run its course... Haha
    I'm so hyped to see the final top ten!
    Much love from Newfoundland!!!

    The London pick came outta nowhere but that game is incredible. I've played it where I run my city once, gone for blue cards only, made a small city and ran it a bunch, drawn a bunch of cards to end the game quick, and it's always super close.

    Dwellings of Eldervale has been a grail game for me for quite some time. Definitely on the hunt for that one. Obsession, what a well designed game and a delight to play.

      i see this a lot and i was thinking the same until i bought it... i've played it like 3 times and then its sat on the shelf
      the mechanics in it just aren't as great as i thought they would be when you actually play it, and then people always tell me that the solo mode saves it
      but it's far too easy
      the insane amount of plastic in it as well kind of puts me off
