Galactic cruise is sooo good! I play tested it at GenCon last year. The designers have spent years on the development and have finally got it to market.
That is exciting to hear! Glad it plays as good as it sounds. I only wish it was going straight to retail, but it sounds like they have an aggressive release schedule. I fear it won't come out this year (in fact I nearly didn't include it on the list because of that) but hopefully they can make it work. Thanks for watching!
What a superior list. I thought I was waiting only for Civolution but it turned out that I am also waiting for Keyside, Galactic Cruise, Perseverance and I didn't even know about it 😀
Thanks for a great video!
I missed Wondrous creature, it looks gorgeous!!!
I directly went to back it!
Can't wait for Inventions! I too absolutely adore weather machine and every time I pull it out, I pull up your video to refresh myself on the rules before playing 💕 I'm super interested in a handful of these games now, thanks for sharing!
I appreciate that! Glad that video is useful. Thanks for checking this list out. I hope you find something here that is interesting.
Looking forward to your 2024 content as I live vicariously through your boardgaming! Keep up the terrific work for me please 🙂. Great review/preview!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy the channel this year. I have a bunch of ideas for new stuff, so hopefully I can clear up my schedule a bit. At the very least we will have a bunch of playthroughs of great games. Thanks for supporting the channel. I appreciate it!
Great list! So many games on here that I’m also interested in. Have a prototype of Galactic Cruise on my table right now and it’s so good solo! Kind of like a Lacerda, but so much more intuitive to play with a great flow to the actions that works so well thematically! Did a preview video of Stonesaga as well and it is pretty amazing (at least in the preview build). Was number 1 on my top 5 previewed crowdfunding games of 2023!
Awesome! I'm jealous. I'll definitely check those videos out. I'm glad to hear they made a positive impression. Now I'm even more excited for them! Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabledJust wish me luck, Galactic Cruise is a bit of a beast on the table, gonna need to figure out how to get it all on camera...
Great list! I should have been able to guess Inventions would be your #1. It does seem really good. I wish I had had the circumstances to back it when it was Kickstarting. Also, you should give Barcelona a try one day. I do think with some of the games you haven't gotten a chance to play yet that 2023 could possibly rise to your #1 year of all time. Here are my most anticipated:
5. Galactic Cruise (cool, unique theme with Ian O'Toole art and the Gaming Rules! playthrough the other day really increased my excitement. Not sure I'll be able to back it but definitely looking forward to increased coverage of it)
4. Windmill Valley (Dani Garcia and Board & Dice - would be higher if it didn't seem like this was lighter than my usual taste)
3. Daitoshi (Dani Garcia and Devir)
2. Inventors of the South Tigris (LOVE the previous two in the series so looking forward to completing the trilogy)
1. Ezra and Nehemiah (I'm super excited about the theme and Shem Phillips/SJ Macdonald have been rising up my favourite designers list ever since I played WotST)
Sankore was on my list but I've since added it to my collection and gotten through ten plays already.
Yeah, I'm hoping to get Sankore as part of my next game order, but I'm not sure when that will be. The games are piling up a bit and I need to get through them before I order more. Barcelona is one of those on the pile. I hope to try it soon. Looks like my kind of game for sure. Thanks so much for checking out the video!
I loved Sankore!
I'm very interested in Daitoshi as well, and am looking forward to seeing more about it. The Old King's Crown nearly got me on art alone, but I could not wrap my brain around the rules for some reason.
My most anticipated for this year (in no particular order) are Unconscious Mind, Botany, Cthulhu Death May Die seasons 3 and 4, Harakiri, Tainted Grail Kings of Ruin, Shipwrights redux, Biohack, Keep the Heroes Out expansion, Deep Rock Galactic expansions, as well as Agemonia (which just delivered) and Robinson Crusoe deluxe edition (which will deliver Tuesday). I'm pretty sure they all can be played solo since that's one of my restrictions when buying games anymore since my group just doesn't meet up regularly anymore.
I really have some good games to get to my table, and a bit of painting piling up.😂
Nice list! A bunch of games there I need to look into more, including Agemonia and Deep Rock Galactic. Can't wait for Unconscious Mind. I have high hopes for that one. And of course I've been tracking my Robinson Crusoe package across Poland and into the United States. :) Thanks so much for watching!
@@TotallyTabled My Robinson Crusoe copy has been taking a nice lazy tour of the EU so far. I'm kind of jealous. 🤣 Deep Rock Galactic is a lot of fun, absolutely the best video game to board game adaptation I've played. It also has a dedicated solo mode, but you can easily run it multi-handed if you want. The core game has a TTS demo if you'd like to try before you buy, and I'd be happy to teach you.
@@morgaknightgames Wow, sounds like I need to track down a copy. Thanks for the offer to teach, but I must admit that I cannot handle TTS. I've tried several times but it just isn't for me. I wish I didn't find it so unpleasant to use because it's a great resource, but I'm just too old to learn new tricks it would seem. Thanks again for the recommendation!
I love the theme of Civolution. The god perspective in normal civ games doesn't make much sense when you think about it. It looks insanely heavy!
Nice ! Now I can add some games I wasn't aware off yet.
Nice! Hopefully you find something here that looks interesting. Thanks for watching, Danny!
Nice list!
I’m looking forward to Gloomhaven 2nd edition.
Awesome! Gloomhaven is so so good. Thanks for checking out the video and supporting the channel!
I'm also really excited for the Elder Scrolls. Even after a few years into the hobby, I never felt the need/desire to back anything..... that changed with this game, I'm SO HYPED.
9:13 I think Feld's games are as good as they are because he is focussed on the logical design elements; which makes sense because a game with a great theme but no logical design isnt a game its artwork. Here's Stefan Feld 3-Step game creating process: Step 1. Design a bunch of logical system processes and connect them with decision structures. (Aka a flow chart) Step 2-Put two stoners in the same room and record them discussing the philosophy of how comfy the couch they're sitting on is. Step 3.Apply it to the logical design
probably the best list I've seen in a long time!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for checking it out.
Curious about Daitoshi ("large city" or "metropolis" in Japanese). After The Red Cathedral and The White Castle, I pay attention to anything that Devir is putting out. My list of anticipated 2024 games: Unconscious Mind, Terminus, Storm Raiders, and Inferno: Deluxe Edition (on GameFound currently). Thanks for posting. I always enjoy your commentary! (Edit: Game I regret not backing: Leviathan Wilds.)
I missed out on White Castle unfortunately. I haven't heard of Terminus -- I'll have to research that one. Thanks for watching!
While I share your excitement about TES BotSE, my most anticipated game scheuled to arrive in 2024 is Spirit Fire (though it may very well delived in 2025 imho).
Great choice of games! I have backed the top 3 games and expect each one to be a masterpiece!
I suspect this year will give 2023 a run for its money. High hopes for sure. Thanks for watching!
Excited to start playing ISS Vanguard (will be delivered next week). Anticipated games for 2024 are Mycelia, Gilded Realms, Isofarian Guard returns and Spirit Fire.
Nice list. I'm in on Spirit Fire because it seems so different, but I'm more curious than excited for it. I just got ISS Vanguard. Super excited to table that one. Thank so much for watching!
Unconscious Minds and Inventions are on my 2024 list but I’m also hoping to get the Awaken Realms CoB, ISS V and Hoplomachus Victorum finally to the table as well now that I have my grubby mits on them.
Box of Delights have done a look at and solo play of Old King Crown, think solo rules were 90ish % there, should you have time to view
I feel like my 2024 gaming schedule would be full of great new games just from the ones I haven't played from 2023! Too many games and not enough time or money ... some great games are going to get lost in the shuffle. I'm worried I might never get to Hopomachus at this point. Looks fun, though. Thanks for watching!
For 2024, I am looking forward to Andromeda's Edge. I backed this one and I can't wait to receive it.
Take care.
We share one in common - Elder Scrolls. Which is probably my #1 most anticipated. I was a day one backer of it when it launched on Gamefound. I also have STALKER, Andromeda's Edge, and Dragon Eclipse on my most anticipated list for the year.
Nice list. Those all look very interesting. Elder Scrolls might be THE game of 2024, if it comes out. I have high hopes, but mostly because I trust Chip Theory to do it right. Thanks for watching!
I just got Primal the Awakening yesterday and I played it nonstop! It's my best game this year so far. Inventions is also my most anticipated. Lacerda games are just something else
Yeah, Primal is on my table right now. I got a learning game in and I'm liking what I see so far. Still a lot more to explore but a great start. Excited to get it on the channel. Thanks for watching!
Great list. Very interested in Elder Scrolls. Almost backed it but I decided it was too much for what you got. I'm kind of regretting that now...Also, Ezra and Nehemiah looks great. I'd be curious what you think on that one. I'm planning on picking that up as soon as it hits retail. Great content as always!
You don´t have to regret not backing TES. Late pledge is still available. ;)
Looking forward to your thoughts/play of Inventions! I had a really fun time playtesting Inventions as well as being one of the Developers. I just played Galactic Cruise with a couple of friends yesterday and really enjoyed it a lot. Loved building my ships. I told the Designers the blueprints/rooms are so much fun for making 'thematic' ships for my passengers. I also really enjoy how the action selection/worker placement works. It's not really a surprise though given the inspiration they've taken (which they've proudly mentioned, they are big fans of his) for GC from some of Vital's games. They still have done things though to give GC it's own identity. Really nice that they have included an introductory game but also have ways to add depth and weight to the game play for those wanting a heavier Euro. :)
Inventions is such a stupid group activity. Don't understand how so much time can be invested in something so dull
First time hearing about Civolution...I'm intrigued!
Yeah, it looks really good. Stefan Feld is so consistent with his designs, I always trust him to come up with something that will be fun. Thanks for watching!
I am curious to see what Awaken Realms will announce next week for this year's crowdfunding campaigns. I have a good feeling about the co-operative game Horror on the Orient Express. And many pledges should arrive including Stars of Akarios.
I haven't heard of Horror. I'll have to check that out. Stars of Akarios looked interesting -- like a Gloomhaven in space? I'm on the fence for now but I might have to check it out as well. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@TotallyTabled One co-designer of Horror made Nemesis and Frostpunk :)
@@orangetoucan148 😲Ok, now I'm interested. I'll be heading to BGG right away! Thanks for the info.
I backed Stonesaga and Elder Scrolls (from Chip Theory) as well and am excited about them too.
I'm looking forward to Dice Throne Adventures and Tidal Blades 2. Not sure if they'll be this year. Oh yeah, and Tainted Grail. I missed the first KS.
I need to check out Dice Throne Adventures. I love the regular Dice Thrones. A very fun dice system and one of my favorite dueling games. Thanks for watching, Tony!
Some games I've backed or preordered below that I'll will try playing solo (a couple solo-only games) in no particular order. All estimated to come out this year at least, which probably mean I won't see half ;) Weirdly enough I probably anticipate the standalone expansion for Ascension Tactics most, really enjoyed that one solo, really simple solo deck.
Rogue Dungeon
Rogue Angels
Slay the Spire: The Board Game
Tainted Grail Kings of Ruin
Leviathan Wilds
Unreliable Wizard
Ascension Tactics Inferno
The Dark Quarter
Dieson Crusoe
Dragon Eclipse
Fate: Defenders of Grimheim
Spirit Fire
Great list! A bunch here I need to look into, including Ascension Tactics, which has been sitting in my to-play pile for a while now. Thanks for the comment and thanks for checking out the video!
So many games for me to look into!!
I hope you find something that looks interesting! So many exciting games coming in 2024. Thanks!
Great list, Shaggy. A distinct Gentleman's list. 😁 Thank you for sharing.
My most anticipated games for 2024:
Arrival imminent special mentioning: Agemonia
1) Forsaken
2) Andromeda's Edge
3) Primal
4) Ascendancy
5) Phantom Epoch
6) Rogue Angel
7) Arydia
8) The Last Spell
9) Warcrow Adventures
10) Fate Forge
Thanks for the list! Quite a few games on there I had never heard of. Definitely going to do some research! Thanks for the heads up on these. And thanks for watching!
Being relatively new to board games,the thing that amazed me in this video is how long some the games actually take to finally release. Is this done to funding, development both or something else?Wonder what the longest time between announcement and release is!
Big part is that most are made in China
any recommendations on checking out if you like the euro genre? I'm searching for a game that is not too expensive, but also good and can play solo. They seem so fun, but not sure if I like them.
I'm also very excited for the elder scrolls betrayal of the second era, but because im just starting with boardgames I will hold of for now.
Most good euro games have a touch of complexity, but since you are just starting with board games, I'd recommend starting with lighter games to get a feel for what you enjoy. I wouldn't worry about euro or non-euro, those terms don't mean too much anymore. I have 3 Top 10 lists based on weight -- a simple solo list: ruclips.net/video/PuE3DUuSFag/видео.html. A med-light solo list: ruclips.net/video/qzPKqjf9r5M/видео.html. And a medium solo list: ruclips.net/video/cGijNPQTzJ8/видео.html. I have playthroughs of many of the games on those lists, and while they aren't all "euro games," they are great solo games and good places to start. Once you feel comfortable with a bit of complexity, I'd check out games like Lost Ruins of Arnak, Obsession, and Distilled, depending on which theme appeals to you. I've done playthroughs of those three as well. Watching the playthroughs will be the best way to see if a game will be right for you. Hope that helps!
@@TotallyTabled thanks. But I think the ship already sailed on starting with not complex boardgames XD. I started with spirit island and added mage knight yesterday to my collection. I watched the playthrough of that really helps.
I kinda did got a chance to play arnak, but I haven't made a whole playthrough of that one yet. I like the design of wingspan and really interested in wyrmspan because I just love dragons. But I just don't know if those games are entertaining enough for me. It think those games are more like score as much points as possible? I'm not just not sure it stays interesting enough. But yeah something lighter between the high complexity games like spirit island and mage knight would be great. I will check the other vids out :). thanks
Perseverance 1 and 2 are great. Long and slow, but great for what its trying to do. That solo mode is a BEAST though. I would not recommend it solo as a huge mind clash fan.
I’ve played elder scrolls at chip theory. It is fantastic. Probably one of my favorites from chip theory so far next to cloud spire. I’m waiting on arydia still too and stone saga looks wonderful
Wow, that is exciting to hear! I hope it comes out this year. Any idea as to Elder Scrolls' ETA? I couldn't find pictures or much information, so it sounds like it might be far off still. Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled no problemo thanks for making the content, I’m trying to get out there with mine but I’m a RUclips noob -lol-. As for ES, not for sure, it’s been about two months and I think they were just butting up some little things because we’d finished playtesting the main game. I think it should be going to mass production in the next couple quarters. Don’t quote me on that.
@@TotallyTabled In their latest update on the GF campaign they mention they're on schedule for Q4 fulfillment. Love all your videos btw, keep up the great work!
@@maderiphon Thanks for the info! If they can keep to that schedule that would be super exciting. I appreciate the kind words and hope you continue to enjoy the channel for a long time.
My #1 is Endeavour Deep Sea, followed by FLOE! Unconscious Mind as well ofc.
FLOE does look amazing. That is a good call! Thanks!
Before You Play uploaded a playthrough of Inventions a while ago, looks very promising
Nice! Great to hear it looks interesting. At this point I trust Lacerda fully, so I'm never worried. :) Thanks for watching!
Backed Perseverance. Stonesaga also sounds great
Nice! Have you played the first two episodes of Perseverance? I'm just going to jump in on episode 3 and maybe go back if I like it. Thanks for watching!
dont forget the terraforming mars automa with Turczi :)
Yeah, he is all over the place. Definitely a name that I look for now. Thanks for checking out the video.
So glad to see Galactic Cruise on this list!
Your game looks fantastic! Can't wait to play it. Thanks for checking out the video and the channel!
Are you one to read rules of a game before you back it if the creator makes it available? Wondrous Creatures sounds a lot like Cryptic Nature.
I'm waiting for Inventors if the south tigris, 7th Citadel, Etherstone, Stalker.
I forgot about 7th Citadel. I'm seeing copies arrive so hopefully that one is imminent. I still need to get Scholars to the table. I'm falling behind! A good problem to have. Thanks so much for checking out the list!
@@TotallyTabled I played a few dozen games of scholars in Solo. And it was amazing
Could be more solo only games, like Nemos War, Halls of Hegra, Brambles, Under Falling Skies.. i guess, that solo gaming is more for "weirdos", so it will rather stay underground business🙂
I'd say most games in the past were 2-4 players and now most games are 1-4 players, which is a great thing because that is how you grow solo gaming. And it shows that publishers realize the importance of the solo player count for all gamers. If a game has a good reason for being solo only, then great, but I'd argue most designs have space for more players just like most designs have space for a solo mode. Thanks for watching!
Since you don't have enough on your plate... let me request something for you to do... How about a video going over your list of your favorite civilization building games like (Imperium, Nations, Civilization, Through the Ages...) kind of games and listing your favorites.. I am always looking for great civilization games and would love to hear your thoughts... plus think of all of the views this video would generate... let's do it.....
I'd have to think about that one -- I'm not sure if I've played enough civilization games. Despite my love for Through the Ages, and my love for the theme in general, those games often fall just outside of my wheelhouse and don't hit the table as often. I'll definitely think about it, perhaps combining 4X and the like. Thanks for the idea!
@@TotallyTabled I guess you could combine city building and nation building games into one and throw in 4x as well.. why not..
Elder Scrolls would be my number one :) I hope you/we aren't overly optimistic that we are going to get it in our hands in 2024!
Yeah, that was my fear. I'm hopeful but won't be too surprised when it is late 2025. Thanks for watching!
do you have any interest of playing the Stalker BG?
Sure, I'm vaguely interested, but I'm not that excited to be honest. I don't have a connection to the IP. I don't know, I'm a bit meh, not sure why. Thanks for watching.
I backed « Andromeda’s Edge », I can’t wait!
I have high hopes because Dwellings of Eldervale is really good. I like the space theme more, so I'm very curious. Thanks for watching!
Purple Haze being so delayed has aggravated me to the point where I may just sell it when it arrives lol.
my number 1 and 2 are Freedom Five and Deep Shelf. Freedom Five is a Sentinels of the Multiverse board game with the Sadler Bros as designers. Deep Shelf has a branching, fail forward, short solo campaign. very excited.
Needs more euro games
Inventions will be an instant buy for me, I can't wait to get my nerdy hands on it. Also cant wait for you to demo it to us
Yeah, that will be a drop everything and play (unless I'm playing Robinson Crusoe Collector's Edition). Thanks for watching!
dont you think voidfall is too expensive? i mean 120$ for core, and we have to pay extra for triple layered playerboard? also why no miniatures are included? it doesnt make sense to pay 80$ for miniatures. is a 120$ game should included all this things, feel like they are taking advantage and going full monetary instead of delivering a good game that can mark a legacy in his company.
i just got the notification that is available on his website, however i can only ship it to my country at the end of this year, so thinking to wait to end of year and buy it cheaper (if i get lucky and price fall) but i know you liked this game by far so i wanna know your real opinion about prices and extras on this great game
The kickstarter was less than $150 for everything, so that seems on par with other games. This is a deluxe production with a ton of content. The retail is a bit inflated, but that is typical and a downside to crowdfunding. High demand with low supply. I personally would try to find a reasonably priced used copy or wait for the reprint happening next year. I try not to discuss prices because I don't know about the costs and the market. Board game prices have gone up across the board. I don't believe Mindclash is taking advantage or doing anything wrong. I think they make premium games and the price for this kind of production has gone up unfortunately. I do wish these things were cheaper, of course, but I don't feel qualified to speak about what the prices should or shouldn't be. Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately only very complex are included. I don't feel like set up a game alone for half an hour. 😅 So unfortunately there's nothing for me. 😢 I prefer faster Button Shy Games.
You should check out my Top 10 Simple Solo Games list if you haven't: ruclips.net/video/PuE3DUuSFag/видео.html. I've also made playthroughs of many Button Shy games including most recently ROVE, Naturopolis, and The Royal Limited. I'd also recommend checking out my play of For Northwood. I have many videos about lighter, quicker games and I hope to have make my Top 10 Solo Button Shy Games list sometime this year. Thanks for watching!
Finaly chanel where we look at the game and not in the ninfluencer
This is a game focused channel for sure, regardless of whether it is a top 10 list or playthrough. Hope you enjoy the channel and thanks for watching!
exited for you Inventions playtrough
Thanks! I think the game should arrive soon, so hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later. Thanks for watching!
Do you do unboxing video?, do inventions ❤
I very very occasionally do unboxing videos but not usually for euro games. But I'll definitely do a full solo playthrough once it arrives. Thanks for watching!
Sand by Devir
Never heard of it. Thanks for the recommendation!
The Old King's Crown looks gorgeous, had never heard of it before, but wow it's pretty!
@@QuiveringEye The art is captivating and feels unique. I hope the gameplay can do the art justice. Thanks for watching!
VItal is great. For me I still am of the opinion the Lisboa is still at the top of the pile. Everything else is still to get to be that one step higher. Lisboa, Gallerist then Vinhos,,, everything else under those. But I am a huge huge fan too! I love that he occupies is own category of game design. His are not just 'heavy' games; they are Lacerda's!
