Quotes (from this video)

I want to spend more time in 2025 with a regular campaign group or even solo mode playing through all of these Campaign games that I've had piling up
my second resolution kind of ties into that and I think part of the the reason for both of these is that we are a board game channel we like to try to I know it's amazing but we like to play everything that comes out
my other resolution getting back into more regular role playing like that was my heart that you're on your own there that is where I came from
it is mares it's mares is one of my favorite games of all time yeah it it made it above Seasons or are we talking close that I don't know maresh is probably within my top 10
wow okay for 2025 is the year I've said it before privately on camera I don't really care so much about that although people have Emily in particular have pointed out reasons to do so like I don't care what I played and how well I did it sure but when we're going back and like she she said when I try to remember who I played with uhuh or where or when little things now I don't know if I'm going to put all that information in there but I'm going to try we'll see
I have a list of content that I want to make in 2025 and I need to just like keep myself accountable and have the audience keep me accountable
we want to evolve the channel we want to do different things uh will you see previews and round ones and stuff like that paid content sure you will got to keep the channel it's not going anywhere however I want to do more other stuff and it doesn't necessarily mean reviews I want to do some interesting Pieces Just on games or on a topic surrounding games
we want to keep a healthy work life balance
so we'd love to hear some feedback because we want to get more games to you we want to show you more games and sometimes that might mean just hitting go live and just doing it yeah so so be prepared buckle up it might be a wild ride
getting back to that work life balance I want to play some games where I'm not necessarily thinking about the project that we have to do for the channel but just to play a game
I want to try to open myself up to being you know I'm not going to name well I'll name drop a couple games a lerta game if Emily and Ryan goes hey there's a new lerta let's try this game I might try it The Great Library coming later what I might do is learn that game and play it with some other people because playing those games is intimidating and in of itself playing those games with you and Emily who are good at those games who love those games who are familiar with those games that's a whole another level of sort of intimidation
heavy games are games that Emily and I love to play but we'd like to make those experien is less intimidating
from a perspective of anybody that's playing with new players in 2025 and you're bringing new players in it's tough to turn off that part of your brain that's like I want to exploit every exploit here and I want to I see these Combos and I want to take advantage of them sometimes
make sure everyone has fun at the table

that is above retail it's very far above retail I don't know what's going on there
oh Critter kitchen I was like now means we got to play this five times you got to commit to it
it's terrible it's it's it's like I have nothing that's how bad the production is
all of us think it's the the best of all of them
which everyone knows was my my game of the year
it's a legacy now I think it's like a 10 or 12 game thing and it's tile laying and it has an app
every game you add one new section of map that is whoever I think it's whoever wins whoever wins or whoever loses gets to pick the new section of map
every single section introduces a new mechanic to the game
the story wasn't super compelling
Betrayal Legacy is brilliant the way they do the story and unlocking stuff is incredible
however not a satisfying ending story-wise and never remember it
it still felt weird even up to the last game was that you don't score points as you go
the mechanics it's very sound and I legitimately am interested in playing the game again
make sure you're taking time for yourself and one of the best ways to do that is to play games with people you enjoy

This game is very overwhelming to me.
My head is like spinning every time we play this game.
I can’t wait for us to be done with it to be honest.
But I do love it. Like I love when we're playing it. It's great. But I'll I dread it every time we're going to play it each week.
To me, the legacy aspect is the appeal, how it keeps changing.
For someone who likes reading rule books and keeping everything organized, I have like a programming background, so everything's got to be like order and procedural to me. And it's like, yeah, it's messed me up. It's messed me up.

Quotes (from this video)

We're getting close to the end as it was hinting at in the story about some final final showdown or final act or something.
You didn't realize until now, but facing the creatures of darkness brings you more comfort than not knowing their whereabouts.
Okay, we got to play fast.
I hate that. And an empty room.
This is why they're throwing lots of darkness at us. This makes sense.
So, we have the darkness chasing us as like a speed mechanic.
So, if we get cut off, we like lose basically, right?
Yeah, they didn't think that through too much.
This is tough cuz I'm afraid to go any further in.
This game is almost finished. We'll be moving on and it'll be in the rearview mirror, man.
My gut says 185 about the Queen Mother's tomb.
It's just like a free heal to full, so I'm not going to waste time healing.
I know, but you skip lines and then it's like I don't want to lose because of that or or win and then get a comment right after on the the video once it becomes archive where someone's like you guys didn't actually win.
The beauty I get is I play through these games or I play them till they start to suck or or I realize they they got lazy and it sucks and then I just put that publisher on a blacklist and I'm just like, I don't need to play your garbage anymore.
It's like, yeah, I don't know. We'll see. The problem is with a lot of these games is uh when they actually come out at retail or when they get delivered to people, reviewers, it's hard to trust because they don't play the whole thing.
And then you give us a monster that attacks twice. Like that's silly.
I want to fail a scenario because I made incorrect decisions in my play.
We have to assume though that someone's not tuning in for the very first time ever on a episode 17.
It's just like I don't know what we're supposed to do.
It's
If it becomes completely engulfed in darkness tiles or just its revealed part. If it's under a tray, you must remove it from the board along with any characters and objects that are on top of it.
This is this is exactly these guys are literally uh I have Sean at home. Like, look at me. I can do what Sean does.
No, you wouldn't do that. You you don't want to like support a police officer who does bad things and you know shady stuff or for example you wouldn't want them to have a job there because they have a family to feed because you don't want a doctor that cuts corners and is in shady a surgeon.
It's like, yeah, I'm just a dude like making stuff. I'm not a company with like tons of lawyers and things. It's like they can rip me off, whatever. It's like do whatever makes you feel better, whatever. I mean, no one's really original with anything they do.
And that's why I love playing these full campaign games because you can see some games where they played it the whole way through and they actually put the full work in and when they delay the project, they delay it because they're actually testing the whole thing and making sure it all feels good and works good.

Dune Imperium Uprising took Dune Imperium to a whole new level of scale and scope, and it's got them worms.
It's impossible to have a bad time playing Star Wars Rebellion, especially if you love Star Wars. Okay, mostly only if you love Star Wars, but it's really fun. It's Lord of the Rings in a box, and it's perfect.
For a solid like 6 years, Terraforming Mars was absolutely the king of the board game hobby. Unreal staying power.
Dune Imperium uses art based on the movies, but it doesn't feel at all like a movie tie-in cash grab.

Ark Nova takes Terraforming Mars' cardplay in Civilization's action card mechanisms and put it into a theme we're just way more interested in. just the absolute pinnacle of mashing up mechanisms into a masterpiece.
Pandemic Legacy Season 1 has deserved every single ounce of acclaim and accolades it's received over the years. It was an absolute phenomena when it came out.
I don't want to say anything nice about this game. I don't want to say anything nice about this game. I don't like this game though.
Fine. Fine.
Brass Birmingham is objectively a board game. Done. Easy. That was nice. Words that are written.
Brass rhymes with ass. Got him. You're done.
Brass Birmingham has one of the best examples of positive player interaction and a game I'd actually seek out to play for a player. Was that so hard?
So, that was one nice thing about every single game in the Board Game Geek top 100. Many games that we actually don't even really like, but there's always something nice to say. Exactly.
Just engage.
We had a lot of fun making it.

I've been pushing this video off for a long time now because every single time that I was going to do this video, I had like one or two more games in my collection that I needed to just get to.
I got to a point where I realized if I keep waiting for that one more game I have to finish, I'm never going to do this video.
These are games that you have to theoretically destroy components in order to play them.
I really like Sagata Artisans.
Rise of Queensdale is like Charter Stone, just better in my opinion.
But My City Rolling Ball is delightful.
I think this was excellent and I will always wonder which game is better depending on your experience of which one you've played first.
I've played My City more times than any other game, period.
Ticket to Ride Legacy was the first game since Penel Legacy season 1 that gave me the highs of what a legacy game can in a system that was familiar and yet really opened up and explored this whole board as you went through it and just continued to unlock things.
This is my favorite Legacy game experience.
It's one of the perfect legacy games for me.
It's so good. It's so good.

Quotes (from this video)

This is very like tribal like morbid.
It's um it's Dark Souls King Arthur, the Arthurian legend.
this one is kind of like it's very like tribal like morbid.
But if we're looking at themes of negative like negative games that I just did not care about the theme
I typically don't buy them if I if I don't like the theme.
the way that they did the theme was was so uninspired.
Odelin is again a good one just because it's it's Diablo generic demon fantasy thing. I find that incredibly tired.
Vagrant song certainly unique. I don't call it bad, but it had a hard time ringing with me
I was actually kind of glad you decided to quit that one.
So, if we're looking at games that I think does CA uh combat one of the best I'm trying to think is I mean Osworn is definitely up there.
That's the highlight. I mean, this is also a boss battler, but it is a campaign. But each boss is unique. I love the way that it utilizes the battle flow system. The fact that you can use cards or dice.
Their dedication to the secret boss. I applaud. That they they did everything they could to keep it all a mystery.
But then on repeat, the the mystery is gone, but the combat is still still great.
Because that's all it is is boss fights. I think a game funny enough that does boss fights terribly is one we've already talked about Madara
Madara's boss fights are [ __ ] bullet sponges with 800 health
the AI itself when you're doing the mobs, that works relatively well for the various enemies that are in the game, and they do level up, which is nice. They get more challenging, but it kind of just boils down to more HP and more damage. It does. They still kind of run the exact same way, but they color code it so it's not just a hodgepodge of just enemies.
the inverted paradigm system is amazing.
And actually a good positive and probably a good negative for some is atto to KDM. It depends on how you like your boss fights.
Don't get me wrong, they're they're extremely similar. And it just kind of depends on how you want your boss fights. KDM does it. I'm not saying KDM is necessarily a negative, but in the sense that it's combat can literally boil down to I have a character that can crit on everything
It's too It's just way too clunky.
God, no. A green [ __ ] Who the hell goes off a D 100?
But yeah, folklore the affliction. This was the one had had a really cool world. I like the the fable element, the gothic horror stuff. I think the characters were unique. Um but man, fiddly as all hell.
Yeah. And I mean, they shot for the open world.
It would have just been better if it was if it was uh scenario based.
but he doesn't want to carry any of his [ __ ] to my house.
I want to see it. I want to see this game of his that he owns like everything for
I didn't ever bring this one up because I haven't touched it in years.
Yeah, I know. I know. You would think with how much [ __ ] he has and how much he doesn't touch it, you would that he would want to play it. I told him we could have three. We could get cuz you'd be in on it, but he doesn't want to carry it over to my house.

If you're looking for like the the magnum opus of expansions, two clank catacombs and you can only pick one of the two, this would be the one to actually go out and get.
The rule books for these games are atrocious. They're they're some of the wor if you need to look up anything, you're not going to find it. It's awful. I hate these rules and I forgot to mention that in my original Clank Catacombs discussion, so I'm mentioning it here. It is they are bad. They are very bad.
This expansion gets a nine. Uh, the first expansion got an eight. So, that is actually gonna blump bump up Clank Catacombs to an eight for me.
It is now a game that I consider to be um very good instead of just good.
