Description
From the introduction:
It is a time of great upheaval throughout the galaxy. With the Galactic Empire in disarray, and the Rebel Alliance emerging as a power, planets switch sides in the galaxy spanning conflict daily.
Between the surging Alliance led by MON MOTHMA, and the fracturing Empire led by YSANNE ISARD, former Imperial officers are often taking their fleets and becoming Warlords, none more formidable than the dreaded WARLORD ZSINJ.

Quotes (from this video)
- my name is Marty these are my musings
- I love looking at empirical cells data whether it be for movies or comic books or albums it doesn't matter I like seeing what the top sellers are
- those four games have been around for quite a while which goes to show that either one people in this hobby are still buying those games or hopefully hopefully people are coming into the hobby and those are those gateway games that everybody recommends for people to check out
- evergreen as' I just made that term up
- it doesn't matter how often they refresh that game it's always a fantastic seller thing is though I bet it drops out of the top ten in the next quarter
- so to have this game that is a hundred bucks still continue to sell well quarter after quarter year after year is just a testament to how popular that game is
- exploding kicking kicking exploding chickens now that would be funny
- now when I first saw Dominion on this list I thought wait a minute that should be a board game but I guess when you really think about it it's nothing but cards 100% card game
- I love Arkham Horror LCG I have been into LCG games since they first came out
- with Arkham Horror LCG every time I play that game I am totally sucked into the story
- sweet sweet game if you have not tried it I highly recommend checking it out
- Seven Wonders is considered a card game come on it's got player boards it's got a lot of different tokens I think personally that should belong in the board game category and not the cards and dice Hey but maybe I'm wrong
- Games Workshop is killing it right now
- Dungeons & Dragons since the release of the fifth edition has just skyrocketed in popularity it has taken over everything
- it's yugioh TCG key Forge and Dragon Ball super
- it's really cool to see ki Forge up in there
- While it's not a CCG in the sense of you buy blind booster packs you don't know what's gonna be in there instead you're buying a blind deck and not sure what's gonna be in there I guess it still has a collectible aspect to it
- since that game just came out also fourth quarter of last year it was hot it was hard to find
- you were you surprised by any on this list or did you think there would be someone this list that weren't on there
- smash that like button and flip that subscribe button

Quotes (from this video)
- OPR is the GURPS of wargaming.

- Star Wars Legion terrain is almost always the best.
- OPR skirmish is a breath of fresh air compared to Kill Team.
- The damned stuff is supposed to be out, but it's not out yet, unfortunately.

Quotes (from this video)
- These are intellectual property war games. These are war games based on books, movies, IPs, right?
- It's really fun to kind of visit that battle with this game.
- I love G.I. Joe and I love access and allies. This is a match made in heaven.
- It's just a beautiful game. It's such a cool production here.
- No longer in print. It's one of those kind of grill games that hopefully one day it'll come back.
- This is Star Wars X-Wing. That is my number six and that is from Fantasy Flight Games.
- This is Star Trek Fleet Captains. That is my number five. That was from Whiz Kids.
- Star Wars Armada is like X-wing but heightened because this is the capital ship battles.
- Probably my favorite miniatures game.
- This one is Star Wars in a box. It's like you're playing the original trilogy, but all sorts of funky things could happen.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is generally known as churn in the wargaming industry.
- New additions cause many players to rebuy the books that they already have because some small things changed in the rules.
- What I mean by sunk cost is this. If you get into a war game ecosystem like Warhammer 40,000, and it is an ecosystem with all the rules and the models and the terrain and the novels and the video games and the merch, all that stuff, then you're less likely to switch to a different ecosystem or even a different game that isn't its own ecosystem.
- Lately, Games Workshop has gotten into a pattern where every other edition of 40k, they also invalidate all of the cotices as well.
- They'll be doing it in Age of Sigmar as well, fourth edition of Age of Sigmar which just came a little while ago did it.
- This is generally known as churn in the wargaming industry. And it's kind of different than just like making and releasing a lot of products, right?
- The main reason that big companies come out with new editions of their games kind of constantly is money.
- New editions cause many players to rebuy the books that they already have because some small things changed in the rules.
- Three-year edition cycle is something I would certainly stop; some people say five years is more reasonable, and while that's technically true, is that still necessary?
- A longer gap would let them make more optional add-on books during that time.
- The problem is that they don't want to make too many optional books; they want the new add-on books to seem optional but required.
- If something comes up that needs a change, then they usually have a free download that fixes it.
- Battletech is great because it's been the same addition for so long.
- Paid new edition is pretty clearly a cash grab.
- If you're not even interested in having to learn new editions at all, then I'd tell you to look at most smaller indie games because generally they don't do new additions of their games.
- What do you think? Are you okay with game systems with paid updates on a fixed schedule, like video game seasons?
