I have only been in the hobby for like two years, but I watch a lot of youtube board game content. I just want to compliment this series on mechanisms. Regarding games that I have seen on other channels, you two are good at focusing on the elements that you find most appealing without overly rehashing the way the game plays generally. Moreover, you have introduced me to titles that I have not seen featured much on other channels. Thank you.
I really like a lot of the games you all mentioned. Earth, Calico, and Cascadia are all big hits in our house. Would Cartographers count as a pattern building game? We recently played that with the family so it's top of mind. I actually picked up My City as a gift for my husband this holiday season so it's reassuring to see it on both of your lists.
Yes Cartographers is definitely pattern building I think. Now I'm disappointed I didn't include it haha. And My City though is a great gift! I'm sure your husband will love it!
We've had My City on the shelf for a long time & still haven't played it. I sometimes forget we have it🤦♀️ I don't think we've had many pattern building games until the recent purchase of both Sagrada & Azul. I think Savanna Park might be considered pattern-building---it's a tricky puzzle! Great lists, as always! Lots of interesting games to consider!
I know yinz struggle to get campaign games to the table, but My City is super easy to table so hopefully it happens for you at some point! I don't know much about Savanna Park but anything with pattern building intrigues me!
@@spielmill1755 I think ya'll would enjoy Savannah Park. Easy to learn, but tricky to optimize piece placement since your opponents will be determining some of the pieces to be moved, according to what they need shifted! Simultaneous action means it'll take about the same amount of time with 4 players as 2. We really enjoy the puzzle-y-ness of the tile moving, trying to get groups of animals together with each other ---and with watering holes. I think next year will be when we finally tackle My City. Maybe I'll make it a New Year's Resolution!😁
@spielmill1755 Hmmm....I thought Savannah Park was one of your unplayed games🤔 Must be thinking of something else🤷♀️ My recommendation stands, though!😁

OK you've convinced me! Putting Savannah Park on my wishlist. Maybe it'll happen this christmas...

Turns out I already had it on my wishlist. Probably from the last time we talked about it haha. But yeah we don't own it.
