Top 100 Board Games of All Time (2003) 70-61

welcome to allies or enemies I'm Jess and I am Sean this is part four of our top 100 favorite board games of all time and today we are counting down the 60s and we've been alternating who starts things off which means I'm gonna get to say the number one game last oh I didn't even really think about that I think I don't think about that every time but last year I got to do it yeah so I guess it's only fair but this time around I am going first so let's kick it off foreign number 70 is explorers of the North Sea and it might be a little bit controversial but this is my favorite in the North Sea Trilogy I know a lot of people love Raiders and I like Raiders too but the great thing about this one is it's just like such a Sandbox or watery I guess so A sea box of stuff that you can do and in it you are it's kind of a tile placement game and you're kind of Co-op will at least collectively building out all of these islands in this ocean but then you're competitively moving around Vikings and exploring and taking all this stuff from those different islands and that's like animals you're building up Forts and stuff and then there's an expansion that has like specialized buildings and more stuff you can do and it's just it's so it's what I always hope exploration games are gonna be it gives me all the stuff that I want every like I play so many of these games and wished that there was this stuff and then I finally played this and thought aha that's it that's what I want yeah your excitement for exploration games really sold me on this as well because I think before I liked it but you were just like oh I love this I love being able to build different islands and go out and it is really competitive because it's a whole bunch of the points is who has control over those islands and so if you try and take control of a big island you've got a Target on your back for somebody to like jump on board and try and steal it from you as well and it's cool too because you can do a lot of things but they're all fairly simple so it's like deep but it doesn't have like a giant rule set or it's not too fiddly or anything it's just that right amount of like deep and simple and it is my number 70.

my number 70 is hedara and this is one that we got from our friendly local game store we asked for recommendation and they suggested and we hadn't heard of it at all so we went in with no expectations and I thought I really enjoyed it I was kind of surprised by it because it's it's a very abstract civilization game but it's all about drafting to try and basically just move up tracks but the drafting is always such a difficult decision because every card seems like you want it and it's good enough but you never have the money so you have to make some difficult choices about what you're going to take and what you're going to leave for the other player as well and just I don't it plays in like under an hour and I don't know the combination of Track Climbing and drafting I just really like yeah it's uh it's interesting because you can only really take like half the cards available too like that's more or less what you're going to be able to afford maybe two-thirds and the drafting itself is that you're going around this circle and so you're like choosing in order but that order changes each game and that order does make a big difference too so it's got that that bit of variability in it as well yeah I I really like this one yeah it is neat that whoever's first that round gets to pick where they start and that can really influence which cards you take and it's my number Stephanie my number 69 is Terra mystica and Terra mystica part of the larger family of Terra mystica and Guy project and the new one now that's coming out age of innovation age of innovation which we haven't played yet but Terra mystica is the one that I will always go for if it is a larger player count I think guy projects better player one or two which is what we tend to play at but if ever there are three or more players Tara mystica hands down is the winner and termistic is the better game if you're playing with newer players because it's surprisingly easy to get people into this game for how heavy the actual game is in the decision space is the rules aren't that hard and this is basically it's a an engine building action selectiony a little bit of area control it's got a whole mishmash of stuff and it's it's very kind of wonderfully Euro it's so wooden it's so like classic wooden houses and just circles or buildings but there's something really Charming about that too and we've played this with a lot of people who don't generally play these sorts of games and it's it's just really surprised me how easy it is to get people into this one and how much fun they have with this and then it's like uh what else is there what else is there in this sort of game yeah I can see it really bringing people into heavier games but the best thing is just like Gaia project is the asymmetry and I love all the asymmetric factions and it just makes such a massive difference and it comes with like we got a big box so maybe there's a few extra ones in there but it comes with a lot so that's so much to explore and we do play it at two even though it's not as good as Gaia project at two just because we want to keep playing all the different factions yeah there's a bot you can play it with it I think came in one of the expansions I don't know what comes in what because we got the big box but the bot is solid but I would say if you're gonna play it too generally just play Gaia project although age of innovation maybe plays better at two as well maybe it bridges that Gap but that is my 69.

my number 69 is downforce which is a racing slash betting game and I love racing games and this is one of my go-to racing games for introducing new players to racing and it plays I think like up to six so it's really good for higher player counts but the betting element means that you can still win the race even though your car maybe didn't race because throughout the game you get the chance to place bets of who who might win so that does make it interesting it means even if you're doing terribly you're still in it with a shot but when we first bought this we originally were just playing it at two player and it's definitely better with more but I didn't know that because we hadn't played it with more and I still really liked it at two we would end up with like two or three cars and I thought it was still great even though in hindsight now I do think it's better with more yeah it's it works the best at six players because on every turn you're playing a card and then you have to move everything all all of the cars on that card so if you're playing with six one of those cars is yours and five of those cars belong to other people and the great thing about how you move them as well is that you do not have to move them in the most efficient way so you find these really you always have to be going forward if they can but you find these really creative ways of just getting a car in front of another car so now it's supposed to move six but it can move none because it got boxed in which is just so unfortunate so you find these really creative ways to kind of mess with people and then to get rid of those ones that like you don't own orange but you've got a bunch of orange fives and sixes so you wait till it's boxed in and then you play that and it's almost like mocking like oh it's so sad you can't move six so it's got It's got just so much interaction and in a really fun like mischievous way yeah it's great the first time somebody gets boxed in and realizes that that's possible and they're like oh I can do this but it's a really great racing betting game and it's my number 69.

my number 68 is tribes of the wind which is a pretty new game and tribes of the wind has this really cool system where the backs of everyone else's cards are kind of your resources or at least they affect the cards that you place this is a card playing game where you have five cards on this little like card standard thing and then you can see the backs of everyone else's car it's a bit like like a competitive Hanabi and from the backs of their cards is how it affects the cards that you play so there'll be cards that are like however many fire cards other people have or if you have the most tree cards or if you have the least water cards or whatever it might be so their cards all Impact you which is this really interesting way of of having that that player interaction and in the game it's like this really gentle post-apocalypse so you're building out this little like wind powered Tree World and you're getting rid of pollution and you're moving around these guys with like flying backpacks and you're living in like an Ewok village it's it's it's really really lovely art and it feels a bit like nausicaa Valley of the wind the board game so if you've seen that Miyazaki film or have read the comic books it's got kind of that Vibe which is a vibe that I like as well but that gameplay with the cards is really interesting it is really interesting and particularly at two players because at two players you only have one opponent so what they do instead is to have a row of cards and those cards are what you are able to pick up on your at the end of your turn but you also use those as like a third player and that means you have a bit of control over what resources the other players have and I think it adds a really interesting level yeah I think it's actually a deeper game A two play players than it is if more players because there is that interaction with the back of the cards but it's kind of like a passive interaction and by using the card row it becomes a lot more active in like you're gonna be messing with it because you know what you've got in your hand which is really cool and it's just it's so beautiful and that is my 68.

my 68 is another beautiful game and that is Parks and in Parks you are hiking along Park trails collecting resources and trading those in for national parks but the cards for the national parks all look lovely and it seems so simple because your hikers can only move forward so I think the first time I played it I thought oh this is like it seems a little simple but then the more times you play it you realize you can actually like stay on a spot and block other people from using those uh that spot as well and you can really take advantage of getting the the bonus cards that give you uh like that I can't remember what they're called canteen cards I think that give you a bit of a bonus and it just it looks so nice and it's a great game to bring in new people because of the art and because of what seems like a simple gameplay but once you add the Nightfall expansion it adds a lot to it too yeah I love games like this that are so that seem so so simple like first rats another one too to where you look at it and you think well that's not going to be good at all and then it is it's really good and it's it's not like super deep but it has more depth than you'd think and and the components and stuff like I love games like like this that kind of know that they're Gateway games but then get real prettied up because you know that new players are gonna love this they're gonna see those cards they're gonna feel the like the wonderful wood and the resources even just like the trays that those go in like everything is so well thought out and put together um that it just it makes it such a solid Gateway package it is so inviting how everything is put together and it's my number 68.

my number 67 is Obsession and when I just looked at the box I thought I don't think I'm gonna like that but the cool thing about it is it's it's this like kind of Jane austeny um Downton abbey-ish kind of theme but it really is doing it in like a satirical poking fun at all of those things way so you're these really fancy people and you're building out your really fancy mansion and you're inviting people over for dinner so that you can like move up in like the ranks of fanciness and all that stuff which I generally hate but you're doing it in this like ridiculous way where if you have like the boorish people who are largely Americans it seems come over for dinner it like will knock you down in the fanciness rankings and it's and just like the rooms and stuff too like a lot of them are very silly the things that you're doing and so I think it really it does all of those things in a way that people who really love Jane Austen that sort of thing are gonna enjoy but also in a way for people who really don't like that sort of thing are going to enjoy because it's so satirical and the gameplay is really interesting because you got this mix of this deck of cards and you need your cards the people on the cards to match up with your locations because you want to use all the different rooms in your house and then you also have your like staff like your servant staff who need to be able to wait on the fancy people in their rooms and you need to mash those three things together to basically to get points yeah and can be tough to decide what to do because the people who you are bringing also get you bonuses as well so you're trying to decide what people you want to attend for their bonuses and then what bonuses you also get from the activity so I think there is definitely a lot going on and you can play two versions as well um a shorter and a longer version too and your whole goal as you go is to like seek courtship of one of the one of the fair tiles yeah there's the the fancy Fairchild siblings who are the fanciest people in all the land and everyone wants their hand or hands so there's a lot of different things to think about on every turn and it's just it's a cool very different from anything else on ourselves and that is my 67.

my number 67 is Euphoria build a better dystopia and this is a stonemeyer game so it looks lovely all the components are great and one of the best components are the dice and it's a dice placement game but what makes it interesting is that the value of the dice is super crucial for what actions you can perform so you get to put your your dice out to collect resources um but you're also all part of these different factions too so there's a huge push to try and increase your faction rating and they've snuck in the dystopian theme in various ways and one of them is if the value of all of your dice is is too high when you bring them back then they become like too smart for the system they've caught on and you lose one of your workers which I think is a clever way of making sure that you know you don't have too many workers and in the markets itself have like really neat names so I I don't think it is like completely immersed in dystopian but those little touches give it that feeling yeah you can definitely feel it all the way throughout and it is this interesting little world of like these four different kind of like the underwater and the sky and the different kinds of Kingdoms that are mushed in together and you can definitely see the like 1984 Brave New World influence and I love that sort of like I love those kinds of dystopian novels especially those classic ones and so I really like all of that in here and it's on everything it's on all of the asymmetric character cards that you have as well and yeah the markets have hilarious names and um and so it's really like steeped in that and that dice thing of people getting too smart and then leaving is genius yeah the markets are great and they add in the interaction but for two players you do have to have the expansion because it adds in Bots and makes it a way better two-player game and it's my number 67.

my number 66 is Teo tahuacan and this is this dice placement e game set in this ancient South American civilization and you're moving these dice around this board to these different places in like an ancient city kind of thing and you're getting different resources you're using those resources to build up this Temple that everyone's building together but as your dice move they get stronger and stronger a little bit like Euphoria they're getting better and better at their job but unlike Euphoria they don't escape out instead they die and they kind of want to die so they're building up and they die and they ascend and then you move up this Ascension track and when they die then you gain new dice which start again at the bottom and then they slowly build up in age or experience until they die and so there's like this life cycle thing going on throughout the game as well as getting these resources and building this Temple and also you've got to feed them all cocoa they just eat non-stop it's nothing but coffee and chocolate in this civilization so you've just gotta feed them all of this cocoa As you move which makes for this interesting decision of you don't want to move where there's a lot of people because you gotta feed a lot of cocoa but often where there's a lot of people those are the best spaces and sometimes you're gonna benefit from there being people so it really there's just a lot of decision points and I feel like that's a lot of the games on the list this time but this is very much one of those yeah I would say this is quite thinky and part of that is looking to see who else is on the spaces but also you get a benefit if you can have more than one Dyson space so often you're gonna try and like leave a dice and get your other dice workers to eventually get to that space and do a stronger action but you could end up in a position where now everybody's there and you're like oh no I can't afford the cocoa to feed everybody and it's got all of these different expansions that are super modular and so you can kind of take them apart with asymmetry and stuff and they add to the game in a lot of interesting different ways and that is my 66.

my number 66 is King Domino Origins and in King Domino you are building out a kingdom out of domino tiles and I really like the big chunky colorful tiles and the origins version has basically the original version plus two alternative ways of playing of just adding in a few extra bits so I like the options of being able to increase the complexity just a little but I really like playing at two players because at two players you get two workers you can use for Drafting and you can do the big like seven by seven grid where you get to use all of the tiles and just make a really epic Kingdom yeah this is we've been playing King Domino since this this was kind of one of our early board games I think and it is such a good Gateway game and I've played with more than two like once or twice I feel like this is a two-player game it's so much better at two players being able to draft the two each round it's just such an interesting decision because you can take one of the like the stronger ones are always in the bottom of the four that are available so you can take the one of the stronger ones and then also just give up to take one of the weaker ones because then you can get the stronger ones again next time so it's an interesting like thinking about what's going to be my draft order as well as what are going to be my tiles yeah and the draft order is really interesting and for Origins I just I really like the module that comes with the resources because I love the woolly mammoths and the Spears and the fish there's all kinds of great resources and because it's a pretty simple game it can use that additional slightly higher complexity and is my number 66.

my number 65 is honey buzz and honey Buzz is it's a game about bees making honey and selling that honey to the other creatures in the forest Justin in honeybuzz you're putting down bees on these work replacement spots then you're gaining chunks of your hive and then as you make these little like hexes within your hive you're also setting off these actions within your heart so you have actions that set up actions and you've got these bees that are like separately Gathering these like little nectar things that go in the middle of those hexes which let you lay down these really delicious looking if I could eat something from a board game this was like my number one I want to eat these so bad things but they're these little jelly things and that's what you're selling to the animals in the forest and it's it's cool that you've got these like two different layers of ways that you're setting off actions yeah and you have a lot of choice for when you do that because you might really want to set off like a bunch of actions and have your hive connect in a way that lets you do that but you're absolutely right it will totally depend on where your other bee is to be able to collect the neck factor and this again from our list is in yet another one that's really lovely all of the components are gorgeous yeah and we only have the retail as well and I feel like I'm always singing the prices of just get the retail but it's all you need I don't know what else the kickstarter would have the retail is lovely it's all you need and and it's got this cool economic system as well that where you can sell the nectar back so you can sell it to the animals but you can also just sell it back to this market and get a lot of points that way too so it's got some different paths to Victory as well um super interesting game and that is my 65.

my number 65 is Manhattan energy project and we first played Manhattan energy project at a convention and we immediately loved it we couldn't even we didn't have the time to finish the game but we thought we're buying this this is amazing and so we bought it right away and then when we went to play it again we were finding it was not as good of an experience it was taking a really long time turns out we were missing like the most crucial Rule and you're supposed to always take pollution from the Stags and the stacks of pollution is what sets the pace for the game and like when the rounds end and when the game ends so our games were lasting like three or four times longer than they were meant to and it's on us because it tells us in the rules very clearly about this role yeah it says it like 15 different places in bold underlined like don't forget don't miss this rule you have and we were rereading the rule book and just somehow not like we just had rule blindness for that one rule it was insane but um now that we play it correctly it is so good it's such an interesting cool game and it's this work replacement game but also really a lot of resource management because you're adding these buildings and you've got so many work workers and so much energy and they're these really thick lovely cardboard and so you're using them to go to places and then you're using them to set off your buildings and then as you come back each time you're like moving this clock which was what we were not moving yeah the pace can go so quickly and the pollution can really ramp up and so you're constantly also trying to mitigate that because usually the stronger actions will also give you pollution as well but the tokens too are lovely I love the oil tanks those look amazing and before we were feeling like oh you can do everything what's the point but now it goes so fast that you really you can't do everything and it is my number 65.

my number 64 is Meadow and Meadow is this card drafting game this really cool card drafting system where there's a tableau of cards and you're placing your little like numbers on the outside and then that's helping you take cards but it's also blocking people off from taking cards and as you get those cards you're building out your your little nature Tableau and you're it's kind of kind of a food chain thing where you're putting like birds on top of bugs and then larger Predators on top of birds and then it's like the stuff that eats the stuff as you build it out but what has made it way more interesting is the downstream expansion and it's one of my favorite expansions really for any game because you've got this little river or actually two rivers because you can choose each side and now you've got this kayaker that moves along the river as you do your car Drafting and everything else and that kind of it makes you feel like you're in the game like before I felt like I was just like me playing this game and now I can feel like on this kayaker and I'm moving along this and it lets you chain these different bonuses it adds different cards and it just adds so much to the game it definitely adds a lot and it includes time it does take longer a little bit to play with Downstream but that length of time is definitely worth it because it adds that extra layer and Meadow is just gorgeous I mean the artwork is incredible and I really like for the downstream the lighthouses and all the water artwork that you've added into it looks amazing yeah it is it's really lovely yeah Downstream adds all of these marine animals to it as well so now you've got otters and stuff and who doesn't love otters they're great if you don't you otter and that is my number 64.

my number 64 is Obsession double up yep and so I won't say too much about it because we've already talked about it in this section but we first bought Obsession really for me because like you said the cover is very Jane Austen and I was like I would love to play this game but some of the things we didn't talk about is you are also asymmetric families so that's really interesting every time you play to choose a different family that might start with maybe a bit more money or a bit more reputation or an extra servant so that kick off to the game changes a little bit how we were playing and I just really like that you're basically drafting your actions because those activity tiles that you get are the activities that you can do I love games where you get that choice of what actions you're able to perform yeah this is a game where you can really build out in different ways and build super different engines from game to game and it can feel really different and I feel like even though I did mention a lot about how much it's kind of making fun of that I really didn't enough because it's even like the words on the bottom of every single guest has a little bit about them and they are so hilariously tongue-in-cheek and they're a weird number of them relate to Wist uh which I have never played and I really now want to dress up fancy have like a fancy whisk night I think this is one of the few games that we do read the flavor tags because a lot of games included and you just kind of glance over it but it it's so clever sometimes it is worth reading and that is my number 64.

my number 63 is paladins of the West Kingdom and this is probably the heaviest of any of the West Kingdom or any of the Shem Phillips games I think to date and in this it's really an abstracted kind of resource management game where workers are part of your resources and there's money and there's I don't even know these little brown things that show up a lot in the west Kingdom and North Sea series and in it you are really you're just trying to stretch out your turn as long as you can so you draft workers and you're putting those workers on the little worker shaped spaces on your board and you're doing stuff like you're gaining buildings that make it so you can do less workers there in the future you're just putting them out on the board on this one board that get you workers Back and You're are gaining these blue like vases I cannot overstate how abstracted this game is but it's really this like heads down multiplayer solitaire game and I say that in the most loving possible way but because of that I think this game really shines either at two players or at solo yeah there really is so little interaction that there would be no point in playing with more than two players because all you're doing is adding more time but the most interesting decision you make on your turn is which Paladin which is like one of the cards you choose to play because it gives you different like workers and bonuses and you have a choice of three and one you play one goes to the top of your pile and one goes to the bottom and so that one that goes to the bottom you won't see for a while and they're they all are good so you want to use them all so it's about which one you use when yeah it is really interesting how all these different parts play together because there's also these like gold cards and these other cards that kind of add worker spaces as the game goes along so there's more options to it but all of that put together makes it my 63.

my number 63 is Suburbia which is a city building tile placement game and I love the engine You're Building every time I feel like our cities are always so different because it's entirely dependent on what tiles are available in the market and usually you tend to kind of lean in to whatever tiles you end up getting early like I had one that gave me money every time a green tile got added in and then I managed to get another tile that also did that so then all of a sudden my whole city was filled with like the green residential tiles and that always tends to happen because you always obviously want to get the bonuses that you can activate so you'll you'll keep trying to get those bonuses yeah and I think the timing of this game like when the game ends is perfect I always feel a little bit like I wish my city was bigger but I also think there's no way I could hold anything more in my brain like because you've got to remember you you'll have something that says something like that you get two for everyone residential but then you'll have something else that's like if anything's adjacent you have something else that's like if they build a commercial then you get this and so then you've got to really be remembering oh I've got this and this and this and this and by the time the game ends you're at full full brain capacity yeah they have definitely like pinpointed that exact moment when you're like I can't remember anything more but it's such a great feeling to almost feel like you're getting a benefit every time a tile gets played and it is my number 63.

my number 62 is batoku and batoku is just this super beautiful game with this wonderful like Japanese Spirit theme and it's got this cool I feel like we've been talking a lot about games that have a cool mishmash of different interesting mechanics and this very much does and here it's card play and dice placement so you've got this little deck of cards that you're building up throughout the game and those are giving you different actions but also they are releasing these dice so either you're playing a card to get actions or you're playing a dice out to the board and then the number on the dice relates to how how much it gets of whatever it is that you place it on and where you're placing those does things like adding buildings or moving your little guy Along on like this journey and visiting different things or you're also gaining these really beautiful animal cards that you're also visiting along your board and it's just it's all these different things but it's not that heavy because it's really just play a card or play a dice and then those will lead you down these different paths but it kind of holds your hand down those different paths as well yeah on your turn what you're doing is pretty simple but choosing what to do is where it gets difficult because you might need to try and race for a spot before your opponent does or there might be a specific building that you know you both want so you definitely want to try and get there first so the timing of what what actions you do is so important uh and that is my 62.

my number 62 is Seven Wonders Architects and I like seven Wonder Architects best of all of the Seven Wonders series and I think it's just because it's the simplest version on your turn you're just taking a card and you either take the one on your right the one on your left both of which you can see or you take the one in the center that you can't see and I just love that Simplicity but each of you are these different civilizations so you are all trying to build a wonder and the Wonders look amazing but the bonuses that you get for building them are different depending on which civilization you are but I really have come to appreciate games that are really simple that you can play with a bigger group of people that may not know the rules and you can kind of have like a chat while you're playing because nothing is really too complicated you're not going to get stuck really thinking about what you need to do for a long time yeah and this is actually this is the only one on the list so far that we don't own so we're not gonna have any photos for this because we don't have anything to take photos of because we just play friends copies or we play this is one that will play a board game cafes pretty often or we'll play this on BGA quite a bit and I agree I really like this the only reason I didn't think about this is because we don't own it but and we would but it's just a bit too big of a box and we don't we know we just know enough people who have it that we can play their copies of it and it just it's not really a two-player game this is a game that you need more people for so we've got um one one set of friends who we make we make them play this with us every single time we go to their house so it's almost like we have a copy just at someone else's house yeah it's just a really nice like warm-up game as the first game you play for a game night and it is my number 62.

my number 61 is fields of r and I talked about this in past lists and I believe the last time on this list I had never won a game well I've got an update for you I've still never won a game I cannot beat Jess at this game and I still love it so that says so much we have played this game like 15 times now and I've lost 15 times and it's not even like I'm just I'm getting creamed almost every time and I'm trying different strategies like there's a ton of strategies that you can do in this game where it's kind of a like an Ube Rosenberg farming game but there's like more to it I feel like than a lot of his farming games and it is the biggest two-player only game that I know of and you're adding buildings to your farm you're getting different animals which is all I used to do and I've learned not to just do that now and you're you're just doing all sorts of different farming stuff as well as visiting different Villages and it's really a like a worker placement game and you're putting out workers on this big shared board and then that's you're chaining them so you're chaining the resources you have with ways to spend those resources and it's really cool and it's really smart and I just do not know how to play it better than just can play it but I love it anyway and I love that it exists because for two player games typically the go-to is to make it a small box make it a dual version and this is just a straight up farming game that's two players exclusively there isn't really a reason for that I feel like more people could go on the actions but it works great at too and I mean the theme is pretty typical they've added in that this one's like peat farming as well so yeah there's a lot of peat which are these black cubes yeah so you have to spend a lot of time like clearing off the Pete apparently it's representative of like the area he grew up in but it just lots of the great things you like about the uve Rosenberg farming games in a two-player version yeah and I I hope that when we do this list next year that first of all that I still that I haven't got so frustrated that I don't like it anymore but also that I can finally report that I've won but so far I can't but it is still my number 61.

my number 61 is Tang garden and in Tang Garden you are all contributing to the building of this lovely peaceful garden and you do this by taking one of the tiles and adding it to the Garden usually trying to kind of match up terrains or close off terrains or you can take a decoration card and add a decorations and some of those decorations are lovely they've got these Bridges and these pagodas that you add and in the meantime as you're doing this you're also advancing on these tracks and at certain points when you've got far enough you can put your character out to stare at the beautiful scenery and get a new character and what your character wants to look at will totally depend on each character type because you're also adding these like landscape views to the tile that have these different icons that represent what each individual person finds lovely and this is one of my favorite kinds of games where it is a game that looks so gentle and wonderful and is secretly incredibly Cutthroat because so much of it is taking the tile that you know the other person wants or if they want to look a certain direction they want to look at something making sure they definitely cannot look at that thing or like you're getting in their way or you're moving stuff around and this just those 3D like the 3dness of some of the decorations and how you build it oh this game looks so beautiful this has one of the best table presences of any game and I'm not usually like a huge sucker for games like I I enjoy my beige Euros very much but this one it's just so lovely it's impossible possible for it not to win you over it is lovely and I love the transformation of the black and white outline to the colorful Garden that comes to life and it is my number 61.

and that is it that gets us pretty much to the end of the 60s but next time we'll be counting down the 50s and then we're gonna be at the halfway point which is exciting yeah we're only one video away from the big top half of the list but you know what I think this is where the sneaky gems are any sucker can watch one to ten but 50 to 60 that's where the ones that like fly under the radar like that's that that's like like the cool hits your friends don't know about but for the ones that we just did talk about please do let us know in the comments if you've played those games and as usual please like And subscribe and hopefully we'll see you next time for another game [Music] thank you [Music]
