JAMIE! We should definitely play Paint The Roses at Level Up! Frickin love that game. :) Also you need to try The Search For Planet X! It's great. It's very similar to Lost Species so I think you would really enjoy it.
Been looking forward to this since the end of the year started getting closer. Really happy to see a lot of classic faves on Jamie’s list - the types of things that get talked about on this channel time and time again. With the amount of new games you two play, it’s nice to see that many of your tried and true still remain strong without getting overshadowed. Trust your gut and go with the games you love most in your heart 💜
first video i watch on this channel and we start out strong with cosmic frog! i LOVE that game but everyone i game with hates it so i ended up selling it. i hope my copy is in a better place now. anyway i came over because the brothers murph mention you so often 8) looking forward to binging your content!
Nexus Ops is my go to "I just want to roll dice and fight with my friends", but I can see Cosmic Frog filling a similar niche. Only played it once. The art aesthetic wasn't my jam, but reasonable people may differ.
I appreciate that you both keep it light, at the end of the day these are games and a hobby 😊 I have really been enjoying your content lately. Great work 👏 😁
I've always looked forward to this series of videos from you two. I haven't played it yet, but i did pick up Psychic Pizza Delivers Go To The Ghost Town based on your recommendation.
GoT board games was the first, hobby gamer game I owned. Love that you two love it so much. I haven’t played in probably 5 years. Awesome lists! GoT, Parks, and Cascadia are the highlights for me.
I love seeing y'all's different taste in games! Reminds me of my partner and I because he and I have so many parts of our hobbies that overlap, yet so many of our personal tastes are complete opposites 😂 We really only do solo or 2-played games because of a lack of play group nearbg, so love that y'all distinguish ideal player count for your videos! I've only recently gotten into board games, but y'all's channel is my favorite by far! Can't wait to see y'all's higher picks!
Over 1 thousand games?? Good gracious! I will say I've been waiting to see your updated list, glad you do them every year! I'm playing (on BGA) New York Zoo for the first time ever and I love it so much already, I kind of want to buy it! I suspect if I told my husband about Watergate, he'd be all over getting that one. I just haven't yet, because I'm not sure how much I would like the theme... What section don't we watch...? I watch all of it!
No way! I was going to post my Top 50 this week and now I am glad it’s delayed so I don’t have to compete with you lol also, I always forget you guys are GMM fans too love the hoodie. Dink it and sink it.
After watching lots of different people, (and buying and playing games) I've got to know whose taste is closest to mine. But...I feel like I know many of you and sometimes still watch because of that!! Haha, meanwhile you do not know who I am - such is youtube!
Game of Thrones was also one of our games that got us into the hobby. However, my group is still not positive we actually play the game correctly. For some reason we cannot figure out the boat rules. But it’s soooo good and can be mean. Love to see it on your list!
Third comment sorry not sorry: I NEED to play all of these: ROVE, Cosmic Frog, Orleans, and Dice Town. Finally, this grouping of 10 really shows Jamie's love for Deduction :) I'm so bad at deduction games but enjoy them.
I have never heard anything about London before. The game looks gorgeous and sounds interesting. Also exciting to hear it plays good at 2, I will definitely be checking it out KAY!
I played the original version that had a whole map/area control thing that went with the card engine building. I think the consensus then was "the engine building is cool, but the map seems superfluous". Furnace does some things in common too.
When people get to the final video and inevitably post a hundred variations of "why didn't X game make the list?", the response to every single one of them should be "it was my Number 51."
AquaROVE is slightly different in the way the ROVE moves (goes down and the movement points are a bit different). You also have to have two modules in the correct space instead of one. There is also a single card module available where you can go from playing ROVE to AquaROVE.
@@FostertheMeeple There's also an expansion that lets you play a combined Rove->Aqua Rove game (which even comes with a card that makes the art tableau work). I only have Aqua Rover but I do have that expansion because of button shy's tendency to ship random expansions with their subscription (so I in fact have a ton of expansions for games I do not own).
Some of London's mechanics reminds me of Glenmore II. Trying to build an efficient engine but you don't want to have the largest territory. Throw in a rondel in which your movement is like in Tokaido and Glenmore II is a great game. Not sure if you've played it yet but Fishing by Friedman Friese is a great trick taking game.
For BoardGameCo’s top 100 I tracked how many of the games I owned. Got close to 50%. I don’t think my tastes align as closely with Jamie and Jeff so I’m going to track played crossovers instead. Jeff: only 2 for this video - Orleans and Watergate. Jamie: 5 - Azul, New York Zoo, Cascadia, Paint the Roses, and Parks. Psychic Pizza Deliverers Go to the Ghost Town is now on my want to play list. Just need to track down a copy…
Azul is such a stapple at home at this point. They are all good but I still like the original over the rest. I totally agree on Watergate mechanically it's INCREDIBLE if it was retheme I honestly believe it would be played and talked a lot more 🤔
Love you guys, but I hated the Game of Throne's board game, but the theme did nothing for me and it just seemed to take forever and was boring to me. That said, I am glad you guys love it and means so much to ya'll!
Great lists so far ya'll :D Looking forward to the next installments. My 50-41 are as follows: 50) Last Aurora 49) The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth 48) Glen More II 47) Woodcraft 46) The Grizzled 45) Terra Mystica 44) Eclipse: 2nd Dawn 43) Friday 42) The White Castle 41) Sky Team
Hey Jamie.i can’t help but notice that Jeff said he’d love to play as the Mayor in psychic pizza at level up and you didn’t respond. Care to comment???
As somebody who is camera shy and lives victoriously through you, for 2025 please consider doubling down on the objectivity of your lists. A game not on your top lists? Obviously trash. Somebody complains? Jail Somebody thinks a game does not belong in the list? Jail Somebody is just whelmed rather than overwhelmed by your list? Believe it or not. Jail.
OH GOD IT'S HAPPENING! EVERYONE STAY F***ING CALM!!
The hell I will! YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM!
I'm glad you do these annually, games come and go, tastes mature and change... hope you'll continue this tradition :)
We love doing it I cant see us stopping - maybe one year we will even do a top 100!
My daughter says "why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7-8-9." 😆 Thanks for sharing your list; cannot wait to see the rest! ❤
Love you guys!!! Studio is looking good and sound is dialed in! Kudos! Foster the Meeple #1 for 2025!
woooo! thanks!!
JAMIE! We should definitely play Paint The Roses at Level Up! Frickin love that game. :) Also you need to try The Search For Planet X! It's great. It's very similar to Lost Species so I think you would really enjoy it.
OMG JENNA YESSS Let's do it!!!!
So excited for this series!!! Thanks guys :)
Thanks for watching!

Great games already in this section!
This was delightful! Also you all sound and look amazing in the new studio space. ❤

Thanks to you I bought and love Psychic Pizza Delivers Go To The Ghost Town! So much fun!!!
It's GREAT!!
Thumbs up off the bat for that sweatshirt, Jeff! Pure joy! I dig bright colors.

High five thumbs upppppp
Great list!! Thank you!!!
Ahh I LOVE these lists!! Keep it up! More talk to come as I watch more.
Orleans
Lots more to come!
Brian Boru, YES!! A few of us down in NB freaking LOVE this game. It's definitely up there for me.
NB!! YAY!!
Yes!!!!! Everybody’s favorite! And every content creator’s favorite way to get a little time off! 😂
It's a good reset that's for sure! ha
Well, now i can play New York Zoo on BGA. Didnt know it was on BGA. Thank you
I picked up Watergate at a thrift store over a year ago and still haven't played it. Now I want to learn it!
It's great. You definitely should. Pretty short too - maybe 45 minutes once you have the rules down.
No way! I was going to post my Top 50 this week and now I am glad it’s delayed so I don’t have to compete with you lol also, I always forget you guys are GMM fans too love the hoodie. Dink it and sink it.
No compete - only loveeeeee haha
@@FostertheMeeple you right! there's space enough for all of us on RUclips

To be fair, no one in the real game of thrones played by the rules either haha
My Friday night board game group introduced me to Brian Boru, and i immediately ordered it while sitting at the table. Such a great game.
So goooood!
@@FostertheMeeple Hehe, I love that RUclips apparently can't handle your excitement... it wanted to translate your comment to English! *snicker*
Yaaayy! I've been looking forward to this! Thank you! ❤🎉
Thanks for watchinggg!
High five, thumbs up!
👏👍 haha
Lol the joke is: "Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7-8-9"
We never got there 😂

I'm just here for the high-fives-thumbs-ups.
You and me both Jon

Psychic Pizza Deliverers Go to the Ghost Town is now on my want to play list. Just need to track down a copy…
Awesome! I hope you can find a copy of Pizza Deliverers!!
I’d like to hear your thoughts on New York Zoo solo when you get a chance to try it out
I will hopefully play it solo soon!!
Azul is such a stapple at home at this point. They are all good but I still like the original over the rest.
I totally agree on Watergate mechanically it's INCREDIBLE if it was retheme I honestly believe it would be played and talked a lot more 🤔
Same! it almost feels like it came and went!
Just another BIG reminder that I need to get Max to learn his copy of Ironwood 😂
YES PLEASE
Love you guys, but I hated the Game of Throne's board game, but the theme did nothing for me and it just seemed to take forever and was boring to me. That said, I am glad you guys love it and means so much to ya'll!
Yeah we love it because of the nostalgia for sure and we do enjoy the game play but we have had like 5 hour long games haha
Next time my friends play Twilight Imperium, I will use Jamie's correct 4x definitions.
Good call, they will be so impressed!
awesome 😊
LETS GOOOO!
Excellent lists! Jeff, where did you get that hoodie?

🙌🏻 👍🏼 😂
Spoiler Alert: Jamie's number 1 board game is... Final Girl. Season 3? 👀
Mayyyybe… maybe not 👀
Hey Jamie.i can’t help but notice that Jeff said he’d love to play as the Mayor in psychic pizza at level up and you didn’t respond. Care to comment???
I guess we're going to have to hold an election for Mayor... haha
How was Azul duel?
I loved it! It feels like base AZUL with some extra bits and it was great!
Why is six afraid of seven. Because seven ate nine.
We never got there hahaha
@ it’s all good. It’s a silly thing to remember.
High five thumbs up, my new way to congratulate some one for 2025
you and me both haha
"Why was 6 afraid of 7?"
I'll never know... haha
Can we make 2025 the year of no more disclaimers about what an opinion is lol? If someone needs you to say that, they're not listening anyways.
SO TRUE haha
Is Bayonets and Tomahawks like 1775?
We haven't played that one so not sure!
I've played 1775. Just eyeballing it Bayonets looks a bit more involved.
How DARE you like a game I don’t like!? (I’m totally and completely kidding.)
😎 Rebels without a cause
Wow… you play a lot of games electronically (bga) what happened to in person board games?
We played 652 physical plays last year… so I’d say we’re good there! Also, it doesn’t matter 😂
Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9 and 10.
THANK YOU hahaha we really struggled with that haha
