1:31 options out there the designers of battlestar galactica oh these guys are paycheck the original hidden trader game an absolute mess of a game full of disjointed mechanics and the game actively sabotages your fun my very first blood bowl dramatically improved by later versions this tile placement game was a bit of a letdown and one of those games where early bad moves can absolutely ruin your day a family-friendly adventure romp through classic robin hood tropes has a super cool board where you flip tiles over as well the answer to the question i wish i could find a deck builder that let me do something cool with my cards the meanest nastiest most orderest game you'll ever play tells a story while constantly kicking you in the ass to me power grid is what a euro game should be tight competitive and slightly frustrating a poignant game about war where the goal is just to make it through a bittersweet experience jesuit charlie a busy action selection game that's all about hoarding meeples this incredibly popular train and set collection game put me off train games for 10 years when playtesting this game one of my friends turned to me and said when do i finally get to make a decision century spice road is an excellent light set collection game this version just has golems and is way cooler twilight imperium works hard to cram four hours of fun into its 12-hour playtime this fun and fast-paced dice drafting game crams a ton of decisions into its six rounds a slightly uninspiring math puzzle that really didn't need to be set in the south pacific a one note party game that gets very old very quickly wild space is a wildly swingy set collection game whose novel presentation covers up its average

3:02 gameplay a modern take on the traditional trick taking game that doesn't really bring that much new to the table a truly unique and sprawling euro game about one of the most fascinating periods of history the meiji restoration a truly awful dungeon crawler inspired by the wildly successful book it's essential because the previous editions had lots of bugs in them still a very pleasant worker placement game about wine a very unusual game about gambling on blood sports where the players are the crowd not the fighters what are the original 4x games that spawned a massive franchise also manages to cram four hours of fun into its 12 hour playtime a dinky little dexterity game about balancing ninjas on precarious tiles another perfectly good example of a deck building game where you actually get to do something with the cards a dinky little dice manipulation co-op game and a rare example of a game where the app is not only better it's a thousand times harder as well and if you enjoyed this video come support us on patreon hit the notification button like share and subscribe to the channel
