    I got into the hobby when LOTR was OOP and AH was getting really hard to get so I jumped into MC. But now with the reprints of the two former, I almost wish I could go one of the other routes lol! I don't love marvel IP but don't hate it. But man having all 3 would prove difficult to convince the wife with limited storage space 😅 great list!! Thanks for taking the time

    People knock the art for Raiders of Scythia? That blows my mind. I think the art is excellent, much better than the North Sea art.

    Spirit Island is amazing. Love MC too. Gotta try too many bones but don’t like the price tag and look of it… idk!

  • @educsansfrontieres
    @educsansfrontieres 2 года назад +2

    Great list, Thank You for the inspiration. I like the idea of fully exploring a game before getting new ones. It's not always realistic with the continuous releases but that's what I'm currently trying to do by making the most of Spirit Island, Too many Bones and Gloomhaven. I read that we partially use the potential of our new technological tools, I have the impression that we do the same thing with our board games. Still, I'll have a lot of fun exploring Sleeping Gods and Dune imperium in the next few years.

    • @D20Woodworking
      @D20Woodworking  2 года назад +1

      Thank you! It has taken me some time to not want to buy everything that comes out. I’m not quite there yet but I’m getting better ha

    • @kosterix123
      @kosterix123 Год назад

      It takes a few tries but eventually you’ll be facing the question will this new jizz win the competition for your table over your existing games. If not, forget about it. If yes put it in your wishlist for when its second edition comes out.

  • @boardsontables8924
    @boardsontables8924 2 года назад +1

    Great list! Sleeping Gods and Marvel Champions are two of my favorite games. Although I have a hard time playing sleeping gods solo I prefer it 2 players so that I'm experiencing and making decisions with someone other than myself.

  • @Mussar523
    @Mussar523 2 года назад +2

    Thank you for your list. My first experience in the heavier games was basically with LOTR LCG and didn't find it fun or engaging and sold it. But now a few years latter I thought of retrying with the new box that came out. Do you have any play through with it?

    • @D20Woodworking
      @D20Woodworking  2 года назад +1

      I haven't played the new box yet (it's still sitting on the shelf). From my understanding it makes it a bit easier. Not a lot easier but a little. Honestly, as much as I love LOTR, I would wait a bit for more content to come out. Especially with Angmar Awakens. See how that goes.

      Appreciate it! And for solo ... eh. I have heard Journeys in Middle Earth is really good. I am just not a huge app-based board gamer. But if you are good with that, I would check out that one.

  • @davidpepin3017
    @davidpepin3017 2 года назад +1

    Nice list, the only games I dont have are Sleeping Gods and LOTR.
    My top ten would be something like this (not sure about the order):
    1- Mage Knight Ultimate Edition
    2- Too Many Bones
    3- Aeon's End
    4- Gloom of Kilforth
    5- Sub Terra
    6- Helionox
    7- Dune: Imperium
    8- Shadows of Brimstone
    9- Lost Ruins of Arnak
    10- Goblivion
    Also, I guess Gloomhaven/Jaws of the lion could be up there, but I've played through Gloomhaven's campaign twice and Jaws too and I dont think I'll play again, that is why it is not on my list.

    • @D20Woodworking

      Aeons end is one I gotta try out. A lot of people love it.

    I would say my most played game is Marvel Champions. It sat on my shelf for a long time but the actual mechanics and high level of interaction got me hooked even though the IP is fine but not my favourite.
    The people working on it are very inventive however IMO were seeing a constant erosion of the viability of True Solo. So much so that some cards just don't make any sense such as side schemes with really high initial threat rather than using "per player" etc... I'd say the game needs some cards or new keywords keywords that are more powerful the lower the player count. Yes I understand that cards like Under Surveillance scale better the lower the count but I think we need a lot more IMO to help certain hero's and against some of the more group designed Villains.
    I agree Spirit Island is arguably better game on a design level but to me personally I don't care I enjoy them both and if I "lost" either game I'd replace them immediately. I like SI True Solo and Multi hand and it plays well either way.
    I bounced off Arkham Horror but will definitely give it another chance though I did just play it TS and it seems more aligned to multi hand solo?. I'm not a fan of Fail Forward generally and I really don''t enjoy the bag draw with an Auto fail possibility.. just makes it a bit like I can be punished even if I make the best play.
    Love TMB and all in on it... but I don't think it works TS. TS is just a learning mode and the Solo deck is too slim for lots of plays. Once you two hand plus then the combat mat makes sense and the Tyrants are not gimped of key defining skills/mechanics to allow them to be soloable.
    Cloudspire is really good solo but I found it a tough learn.. it's not too bad really just not well explained.. it;s significantly harder than TMB to learn IMO.

    10. The Search for Planet X
    9. Obsession
    8. Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island
    7. Hallertau
    6. Ark Nova
    5. Nemo's War
    4. Gaia Project
    3. Gloomhaven
    2. Mage Knight
    1. Spirit Island
    Note: I have Final Girl on the way from the Series 2 Kickstarter and I suspect it'll be breaking into this list in short order.
    I was so excited for Too Many Bones and then it was a big let down for me because to me it's just too randomly punishing. Bad chips draw and/or roll? Ok, you will just die really quickly. But don't sweat it. We'll just make all of you future battles HARDER.

    Good list man! I'm still not sold on Spirit Island. I may have to play the LoTR LCG more, but it was tough to get through. Good system though. I'm looking to grab a copy of Too Many Bones some time this summer. I want that game so bad!

    • @D20Woodworking
      @D20Woodworking  2 года назад +1

      Appreciate it! Yeah Spirit island is a weird one with people. I feel like people get scared of it? Or worried about how heavy it is. I get it. LOTR is rough at first. It really is. And yesssss more people playing tmb!!!! Yea please!

      @@D20Woodworking I'm not quite sure why Spirit Island doesn't do it for me. From a design standpoint, the game is genius. Cooperative euro with deckbuilding. SHOULD be right up my alley, but I just didn't have as much fun with it as I thought I would. The caveat is that I only played cooperatively, not solo. I don't know how much the game changes outside of discussing strategies with friends, but even then, I'm not sure that it would change my mind. Genius game though, just sad that it doesn't bring me joy and I can't explain why it doesn't. Which is even more frustrating lol!
