Just bought Boop. for my wife who loves abstract games. Demoed it at PAX and knew we needed it. It sold out there but I found one at Barnes and Noble book store online. Also, just played Banner Festival and was really surprised at how much we all liked it! Very unexpected. Played at 4, and I feel like that’s the ideal player count.
A co-op Carcassonne is certainly appealing. Carcassonne is one of the games that got me into board gaming, and I think that a co-op version would make it even more appealing to new gamers.
You should try out the competitive Mists over Carcassonne variant Matthew (using Mists as an expansion) - it’s an excellent variant & totally different but just as fun as the coop version. It has some great little decisions in it, and it’s really cut-throat. I loved the coop game too, and I agree that it was one of the best of the year. Number 5 on my list :)
Excellent stuff Matthew, nice to see a new video for this channel. Boop, Fork and Co-op Carcassonne all look interesting. When do we get more travel videos I miss Pop and a Bar? 🙂
Hi Matthew, what a great collection fo games - and delighted to see BOOP made the list. It has been an unprecedented hit for us, moving 12,000 units in two weeks. A perfect storm of cute and thinky - and props to designer Scott Brady for an amazing game. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hey Matthew! Love your content so much. Don’t know if you’ll remember me, I ran into you and Paula a couple times at PAX Unplugged. I mentioned how I’m thoroughly addicted to marvel snap lol. Anyway, again, love what you do, and please upload more often here if you can!

I agree!! I love coop building the castles in the original game

I will try it that way for sure, and if you think I haven't already watched your best of the year then you're crazy!
Hi! Omg! 4 awesome choices!!! I really am excited for all 4 games! I'm so glad you got Boop! It sold out at Pax Unplugged!
Only with some of your help!
Oh good, I needed a Carcassonne for the autumn season!
We met the designer of Bannar Festival at a con this summer and he called it "trick-taking adjacent"

Those Carcassonne ghosts look like little marshmallows out of a breakfast cereal and now I just want to eat them
I never usually like abstract strategy a lot, but Boop looks adorable and i would def play it:) Hope you are well!
We were very surprised by banner festival. Have only played 2 and 3 players. We're looking forward to trying larger player counts.

Always good to hear about good companies having success, congrats on what looks like a great game. Looking forward to when boop hits aussie shores
Boop! Shut up and take my money 💰
I guess my cooperative Tilelaying game will be "Dorfromantik" even though Carcasonn has its appeal🙂
Also, co-op or not, I'll still beat you at Carcassonne!
We get it! You like saying boop!
