Hey y’all! I have absolutely no idea why the video just randomly cuts at the very end there! Since we both got through all of our games, we are going to leave it up like this. But we have no idea what happened! Something must’ve gone wrong with the upload, and we didn’t catch it. Sorry about that!
I dunno why guys but you have managed to skyrocket to some of my favorite board game content creators. I really love what you are doing. You just seem like amazing and fun people. Keep it up!
Yet another lovely video! Nick and Mike great work as usual... We are getting closer to the top 10! Hype is real! Appreciate you both so much! Much love from Newfoundland Canada!!
I love that you take the time and talk in detail about each game (and show photos)! That saves me a lot of time to look up all those games somewhere else to watch an overview video! Amazing guys 👍👍👍

The video ended too early. Some editing went wrong. Besides that, I must say I love your video's: good explenation and good visuals in between. It feels like an advent calender, but with good video's!
Boonlake is currently mine and the wife's favorite Pfister game. We got it at a huge discount and we loveeeee it. We love the fact you can drag out the game as long as you like.
I’m getting over the Baseball Highlights slight and getting excited for what new games have risen to the top of your lists. Cubitos and Teo are favorites from this section. Cubitos over Quacks all day long.
70. Cartographers 69. Roll Player 68. Flash Point 67. Takenoko 66. Evolution 65. Colt Express 64. Paperback 63. Pillars of the Earth 62. 7 Wonders Duel 61. Small World
Really enjoying these lists you are putting out. My favorite of this list is Raiders of the North Sea. It is the game that showed me worker placement games could be fun. The game I want to try is My City. That one looks great. Here is my list of 61 to 70. 61. Reavers of Midgard 62. Scythe 63. Century: Spice Road 64. Forgotten Waters 65. Raiders of Scythia 66. The Reckoners 67. Western Legends 68. Tiny Epic Galaxies 69. Arkham Horror (3E) 70. It's a Wonderful World
Spaas Beass!! Definitely coming up higher on my chart thanks to you guys raving about it years ago, but here's my 70-61 61) Horrified 62) Star Realms 63) Pandemic: Fall of Rome 64) SET (a fav since childhood) 65) Anomia 66) Wind the Film! (love that Saashi & Saashi!) 67) Azul 68) Scattergories (another fav from childhood) 69) Abandon All Artichokes 70) Burgle Bros.
Another fun one! Lots of games mentioned that are on my TBP: High Society, Wonderlands War, Terracotta Army, Cubitos and Horrified are all on my short list to be played. Decorum is a gem of a game. “I HATE IT”
Nobody checking in 😊 mid list is the place to be. Sort of like an extended honorable mentions before the good stuff. Edit: I also rate boonlake highly. There’s something about it.
I don’t know why someone would skip this section. It has so many good games. I enjoy Targi, Raiders of the North Sea, and My City. I’ve bought and still need to play Orleans and Cubitos. I’m interested in several others like My Little Scythe, High Society, and Manhattan Project. Great list of games and good presentation too.
Late entry, and I noticed you’ve already addressed it and everyone has commented about it, but I was wondering if you noticed the video cut off early? /s 70. Dominion 69. The crew: either one. 68. So Clover! 67. Barenpark (praise be) 66. Alhambra 65. The Voyages of Marco Polo 64. Sushi go! Party 63. Welcome to… 62. Dune: Imperium 61. The Taverns of Tiefenthal
#70 Nanga Parbat #69 Junk Orbit #68 Hanabi #67 Rajas of the Ganges #66 Lords of Waterdeep #65 Jaipur #64 Codenames #63 Studies in Sorcery #62 Caravan #61 The Crew: Mission Deep Sea
The abrupt end is a good way to check if PEOPLE ARE REALLY WATCHING. Great lists, gone too soon. My top 100 continued: 70. Era Medieval Age - A roll and write in disguise. A very obvious disguise. Nice. Fireball Island Curse of Vul-Kar - I break this out around the holidays every year. Just an absolute blast at five players with all expansions. 68. Radlands - This would be higher if I could play it more often, probably. Such a fun self-contained game. 67. Modern Art - One of my first board game purchases, still going strong. 66. Dragon Castle - Setup is a bit much, but it's worth it for those chonky tiles. 65. Cubitos - What you said. 64. Libertalia Winds of Galecrest - It's crazy that this game also works at two players. A really fun mind game. 63. Raiders of the North Sea - What you said. (I also play with all expansions every time basically.) 62. First Empires - I love this tiny game! There is so much that isn't obvious when you first play it, but repeat plays have really charmed me. There is so much you can do in this small game. 61. The Godfather Corleone's Empire - We have houseruled one of the tile setups, but this game is so much fun. I'm not a big Godfather fan, but this game is much more "mafia" than "Godfather IP." And it's great. Best at four players.
Ahoy there fellow islanders. Spouse and I love Boonlake, more than GWT. The end round objectives that you choose can be scary though. Always end up scoring negative points for some of them. I am quite bad at acquiring levers so that one kicks my but, I feel like I mostly stop when I hit the 4 you need for basic scoring lol. The money converting ones too if I don't do them early :x. I also haven't quite got used to putting small houses down before cows, always do dudes then cows >.
My game group just finished Jaws of the Lion. (which I got to see if we'd be into Gloomhaven.) We all got the digital version of Gloomhaven when Epic Games put it up for free so we will likely be starting that soon. Can't wait.
I picked up Teotihuacan for solo play but I have not gotten it to the table yet. After running through the rules I was a little concerned with how abstract and pasted on it felt but I’m still gonna force myself to play it. My favorite solo euro is Paladin’s of the West Kingdom and I think I’m a bit shallow and I like the characters that are present in the game artwork and that is sufficient to satisfy that need I have for a pseudo theme (Paladins is obviously super abstract as well).
My City is a great game if you like polyominoes, set matching, and a high strategy / low luck. I just wish the stickers for the legacy mode were removable.
70: just one! 69: carcassonne 68: stronghold 67: lost ruins of arnak 66: treasure island 65: tzolkin 64: fury of Dracula 63: Spartacus 62: archon: glory and machinations 61: the gallerist
61 Tenpenny Parks 62 Rune Stones 63 Trails of Tucana 64 A Castle for All Seasons 65 Chronicles of Avel 66 Maglev Metro 67 Cosmic Frog 68 Obscurio 69 Petrichor 70 Honey Buzz
"We're not gonna talk about it because thems feelings and feelings is scary." --Mike honing in on the root of 90% of every problem anyone has ever had with anyone.
Games I Want to Replay: 70-61 70. WORLD’S FAIR 1893 (-15). Great historically themed game with lots to do. (Surprisingly not my favourite World’s Fair themed game on this list, but still very good!) 69. STEPHENSON’S ROCKET (+1). Haven’t played this in years but I remember it being fascinating how rail networks get merged with each other. Would like to try it again. 68. GLORY TO ROME (-51). I think this faded slightly now that I have a copy of Import/Export, which uses the same card mechanic, but it’s still legendary for its good gameplay and exclusivity! 67. BARRAGE (-28). A really solid game with amazing production, a unique theme, and delightfully crunchy gameplay. So why so low? I’ve found that if you get set up early in the game you end up winning. I play this for the puzzle, though, so I still enjoy it. 66. FIRST CLASS (+12). A good card drafting game that’s simple to learn. The only thing I’m not sure about is how everyone saves their coins until the end of the game to make some megaturns. 65. BIVOUAC (+33). A beautiful game that has a delightful sunny summer camp theme. There are some mechanisms that are either broken or remind you that it was designed by amateurs, but it’s still cute and enjoyable. 64. KASHGAR (+2). Ugly art but a really neat essential gameplay mechanism. I like it a lot, especially the economy of resources. I did play one game where I couldn’t get a card that let me fill orders until late in the game, which meant that for most of the game I had no access to the main source of points. I think that could be fixed, though, and I think it was an exceptional situation. I’d like to retry it. 63. DICE FORGE (-11). Great entry-level game with a novel configure-your-dice-faces mechanism. A favourite of my family. 62. COLORS OF PARIS (0). Also called “Old Masters”, this game is about making art. I like the rotating circular board that limits your options as to which worker placement actions are available. A bit simple but enjoyable. 61. PASSTALLY (-15). Love this 3D route-building puzzle. It’s only so low because you can’t play it with 4 players. It’s also conducive to analysis paralysis but if you play it with the right players it’s just fun! -TO BE CONTINUED-
So cool… Here’s are mine 70 - Thunder Alley 69 - Point Salad 68 - Terraforming Mars w/ Prelude 67 - Cartographers 66 - Underwater Cities 65 - Fort Sumter: The Secession Crisis 64 - Grand Austria Hotel 63 - Ra 62 - Arboretum 61 - Cribbage
Interested in Wonderland's Wars. Like get Jaws of Lion. Empires of North interested in also. Terracotta Army might like. I know want Horrified. Decroum very high on my list.
Gloomhaven at 66??? Weird to me to see games like Downforce and Cubitos ranked higher on this list of "greatest games ever made", but to each their own I suppose!
Hey y’all! I have absolutely no idea why the video just randomly cuts at the very end there! Since we both got through all of our games, we are going to leave it up like this. But we have no idea what happened! Something must’ve gone wrong with the upload, and we didn’t catch it. Sorry about that!
It's ok, no one's watching this one anyway
Let us know when the reeeeeaaallll good games are coming 😋
And release the Snyder cut later
@@bWOOOPdeWooop it’s been straight traaaaash so far
@@TheBrothersMurph it's ok, fine game connoisseurs such as yourselves must uphold a high standard of non-trash games and only so few can make the cut
They were going to reveal the big thing........... Damn guuuuuuuuurl!!!
I dunno why guys but you have managed to skyrocket to some of my favorite board game content creators. I really love what you are doing. You just seem like amazing and fun people. Keep it up!

Yeah, we’re not sure what happened there! Thank you so much for pointing it out! Something must’ve gone wrong with the upload
Love boonlake! Glad to see we are on the same island 💕 thank you for sharing, ya'll are the best!

I’m here! So I’m somebody!😊
Heck yeah you are!
Watching it!
Heck yeah!
I’m here!
Hiiiiiiii
Regarding Boonlake, I recall seeing Jon Gets Games really raving about it and enjoying it, even after the newness of release hype had died down.
Good to know we're not the only ones!
Let's be honest - Matty J is the real MVP of these videos.
You ain’t wrong
We just learned we were playing Manhattan Energy waaay wrong as well! It really is a much better game with the actual right rules.
Lol sameeee
I watch it, some skipping ahead might be involved if I already have the game though. 😁

Lol we’re getting real
Boonlake looks so good but I’ve been cutting back on complicated, long games In my collection because they just don’t get played as much.
That’s totally fair
Here!
Games I Want to Replay: 70-61
70. WORLD’S FAIR 1893 (-15). Great historically themed game with lots to do. (Surprisingly not my favourite World’s Fair themed game on this list, but still very good!)
69. STEPHENSON’S ROCKET (+1). Haven’t played this in years but I remember it being fascinating how rail networks get merged with each other. Would like to try it again.
68. GLORY TO ROME (-51). I think this faded slightly now that I have a copy of Import/Export, which uses the same card mechanic, but it’s still legendary for its good gameplay and exclusivity!
