Hey hey, welcome. Thank you so much for popping by. We try to showcase everything, even with our live playthroughs. Maybe we'll see you in the chat one day 😊
New viewer here. I love this blokes energy - it doesn't seem fake or forced unlike most youtubers speaking at a million words a minute. I also love how his missus is the counter to that.. the staid, steady and calming presence. You two work great together.
Watching this video made it 100% clear why I love following your channel! The two of you clearly have a close connection, and it comes through loud and clear in your videos. And the fact that so many of your Top 10 games overlap is not a surprise. Wonderful video(s) and Top 100 list. Keep up the great work, and keep having fun playing games together!
TARAdactyl56~ thank you! Have you ranked your top 10? What are on yours? I have to check out a lot of games from our Chat Squad (audience) top 10 list, too. There are soooo many games I haven't try.
love the list, i was surprised that the Taverns of Tiefenthal was mentioned and its on the top 10 never played the game but i really like the theme of this game but read so many cons about it and most people say u need an expansion for it to be great which im not a fan of, im not into buying expansions. i didnt like Ark Nova its a little fiddly for my taste maybe i need to try it on BGA, never played Lost Ruins of arnak yet. but anyway my top 5 is :) 1 Bloodrage 2 Wingspan 3 Agricola 4 Teraforming Mars 5 Clank!
Interesting, I've never played the expansion of Taverns and never felt mine it needed it.. In fact, we don't even play with all of the modules of the base game. Then you so much for sharing your top 5 and fit watching the video ♥️
The top 10!!!!! 🤩 Yaaaay!! How amazing that Istanbul was no. 7 and Scythe no. 3 on both lists!!! Ahahah Amazing and so fluffing cute!!! 😍 “My favourite game of all time!!!” 🤣 We get it! It’s difficult when we like lots of games to even define the best one for us! It’s like all these top 10 ones could have been THE favourites as in no. 1, all together! Ahah What a great adventure this was, to see your two Top 100 lists, One day we will have played enough games to make a top 100 too! Ahahah And a big thank you for adding b-roll of the games! Really! We really love when there’s some overview of the game, because it saves us from opening BGG on our phones while we watch the videos lol, We appreciate the extra work on that! Editing on a video like this with so many games takes ages!
very nice choice for number 1 Judie, my no1 is Ruins of Arnak too sharing no1 with Robinson Crusoe. And because of you putting Arnak on 1 and you both are amazing, i just subscribed. Best regards 🙂
Awwww thank you so much for joining us in this journey. And thank you for all of your comments. So glad you've joined our regular "chat squad!" Love having you around♥️
I respect your picks. FYI, the game Fortune and Glory, is definitely an Indiana Jones themed game, even more than Lost Ruins of Arnak. The expansion adds Nazis and mobsters. You visit ruins, encounter dangerous adventures along the way, visit cities around the world and variable player powers keeps it fresh.
Yey! So many crossovers with my list... 5 Tribes - my top 1 Cascadia - my top 6 Meadow - my top 10 Honey Buzz - my top 14 Istanbul (Big Box) - my top 18 Castles of Burgundy will be my next purchase. Btw, here's my top 10 of 2024 1. 5 Tribes 2. Dune Imperium Uprising 3. The White Castle 4. Heat: Pedal to the Metal 5. Viticulture with Tuscany 6. Cascadia 7. Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest 8. Concordia 9. Watergate 10. Meadow
Yay Chris! Though I hope you have Orléans and Castles Of Burgundy on your top 20, for some reason, Pub Meeple ranked it lower (55 and 72), I do think they deserved to be on my top 20. 😅
great list thanks guys.. when a game hits right for me i describe it as "the game sings to me"...here's my list 1 Maracaibo 2 Lisboa 3 Hamburg 4 Boonlake 5 Ark Nova 6 Blackout: Hong Kong 7 Grand Austria Hotel 8 Marrakesh 9 Great Western Trail: Second Edition 10 Amsterdam
The Nerd Shelves community top 10 is: 1 The Castles of Burgundy 2 Cascadia 3 Scythe 4 Wingspan 5 The Taverns of Tiefenthal 6 7 Wonders Duel 7 Trajan 8 Obsession 9 Lost Ruins of Arnak 10 Azul
Ark Nova just missed out on my top 10, possibly because we play 4 players and it takes all evening. But here is my top 10 1 Everdell 2 Too Many Bones 3 Lost Ruins of Arnak 4 The Castles of Burgundy 5 Dorfromantik: The Board Game 6 Barrage 7 Seize the Bean 8 Mycelia 9 Wingspan 10 Carcassonne
I jus watched the honey buzz playthrough and here Michael only rank the game at 22...i am surprised since he hyped up the game so mcuh. Wonder where would it rank if combined with the expansion
Lol it's true. The top 25 was so tough. Too many great games. I also truly believe many of these would change a bit of we'd played them more often... You are right though, this list was done before we played the expansion and it has gone up the list since we played it. Thanks for watching♥️
#10 Scoville, a great gardening game about Peppers. A bit of auction, a bit of Pepper placement, and filling orders to score points. One of the my first ever modern games I bought myself. #9 Century Spice Road #8 7 Wonders: Architects #7 Splendor Duel #6 Cascadia #5 Point City #4 Space Base (with or without expansions) #3 Orleans #2 Stone Age: Anniversary Edition #1 Wingspan

@@TheNerdShelves I could still see my top 3, 4, or 5 games move up to #1 by next year. It definitely helps when you get to play the game more.
Does Judie also like Yokohama? The new version is so beautiful. Ark Nova is set up on my table!
@@2532robh1 Judie actually hasn't played Yokohama yet. Woohoo, Ark Nova.
@TheNerdShelves She would like it
@@2532robh1 I think so too. We'll have to give it a go.

It's on my list of games to play, but like.... #103.😅
Im also a mechanic over theme guy but lately i find if i dont enjoy the theme then its too dry and boring
I think I have to agree with this whole-heartedly ♥️
Wooooooooo!
Woohoo! We made it!! 🎉
