Lindisfarne is a brilliant one

I have an old edition of Dragons Gold. It is a delight. It is a pure negotiating game. If you cannot agree in the timer no one gets anything.

Thanks for previewing the game Melanie and Dave!

Great to see planted get more love. I also play planted in solo mode and really enjoy it. I am a big fan of drawing games and caution signs looks interesting. My favorite drawing game is fake artists goes to New York and it is a holiday favorite for my family gatherings.

Thank you so much for sharing Kinfire Delve!

I love Imhotep and also Imhotep Duel. I just ordered Etzy boats for Imhotep. Also I made a solo mode for Planted

I love watching the top 100 board game videos from different TH-cam channels, thank you for doing this!

Love my first play of Stamp Swap solo. Such a great game. We need to get Maki Master to the table (we did get Cafe Baras to the table last month)

Just subscribed to your TH-cam channel. I understand Dan dropped you a note. I'm Ken, the SKUNK'D guy!🦨😊

Take out the insert. Special suprise in small island..

Aww! Thanks for the birthday shout out! 🎂😃

So cute 🥰 and you're right, sometimes you need a light game once and a while.

Thank you for playing!

Loved your thoughts and the footage!

Hates hokey! Oh my!

Thank you for the thorough unboxing! Enjoy <3

You did 5 damage to the boss so he died before the last fight roll. Plus on the last roll the boss had no assist as you already killed his buddy, so the boss could only roll 2 dice. So you won again.

Surprised this works so well at 2 players! Have you tried it at other player counts, in your opinion where does it play best?

Thanks for playing!

🥓🥓🥓

Great job Stuart 🎉 you couldn't go easy on them 😂

I was impressed with this one... trick taking, which then loosely reminded me of Fantasy Realms, that is until we started eating the humans. 😆 🤣 😂

Thank you so much for hosting us, Mel! It was so great to meet you and tons of fun to play with you and David! Have a great weekend!

The Asara one looks so good, so many I haven’t heard of!

Got to love Dice!

We had the pleasure of playing this game, it's fantastic!

It's so much fun. What a great game

Looking forward to checking this out at Gen Con!

It looks so cute, gotta get it!

I didn't think I'd get hooked watching the whole thing but this game looks like so much fun! The only thing that irks me is even if the games can be short one player here was pretty much not playing the whole time. I wonder if there could be an additional optional rule that lets dead players maybe drop a random anvil or something to affect the game still. But otherwise I am definitely supporting this when it comes out!

Trio has been a big hit with everyone who has tried playing with me.

could and should... nope I have Scythe, will just play someone elses copy of Expedition

I liked Factory Funner, but yeah, that rulebook doesnt answer a plethora of questions. FYI, BGG had (migth still have) the origin hubs in 3D, but i did not get them cuz there is no way to fit them in the box.

Cool idea to have a con to celebrate your birthday 🎂 I may need to steal that idea 💡

great video ,thanks

I like Escape the Dark Castle but the one I own is Escap the Dark Sector, have all the expansions for Escape the Dark Sector. Mountain Goats is such a delightful push your luck. The best how to train your dragon game IMO is Dragon Keepers by Catarina and Vital Lacerda

Is this a top viking games with vikings in it or viking theme? If so Have you not played Vikings or Fire & Axe?

Raiders at number 3. Breaking my heart

Far away surprised me so much. Really cool game

In Reavers of Midgard you do roll some of the dice, if it has an asterisk on the iconography you choose its face but if it is a blank die you roll it. You also roll the black dice on the sea voyage or if you choose to attack the defense of various village spoils and keep spoils cards, so there's a decent mix of some rolling of dice and some setting of dice

Where is our invite to Mel Con? 😂 I need to do a board game convention for my birthday 😂🎉

Expedition looks so good!

Alhambra and Smash Up gets so much love but TOTALLY not for me. Was big miss. I do love Sorcerer City

Name dropping Roberta. Wonder how often she name drops you Mel?

Love that LotR crib board but pricy

My best find at a thrift store was Qwirkle. I like RumiCub too

Of your list, I’ve played #9, #7, and #5 (I was hoping I’d played all the odd ones, but no dice!). My top 9 for May were: 9. MANGROVIA - This one was new to me, but it’s a great filler game! Cool action bidding mechanic. 8. SHIPWRIGHTS OF THE NORTH SEA REDUX - I hadn’t played the original, but this game is a neat deckbuilder and it seems to be the shortest of any of the Phillips/MacDonald “cardinal direction” games. Snappy and interesting. I haven’t decided whether I like it yet. 7. FOREST SHUFFLE - I can actually see this being my replacement for Earth because it’s so much faster (not that Earth is bad or anything). 6. YOKOHAMA - Consistently one of my favourite games of all time. I recently introduced it to a coworker and his wife and they’re obsessed, so they had me over so we could play it together! Looking forward to the reprint this summer! 5. DELTA - Everyone I’ve ever introduced to this game loves it. It’s simple enough for new-ish gamers to understand but complex enough in the sequencing of your actions that heavy gamers like it too. Beautiful art doesn’t hurt matters. 4. MESSINA 1347 - Got a copy of this game for super cheap. Had played it a while ago and remembered liking it. Not sure how long it’ll stay in my collection, because two of the three other players were “meh” about it, but I think it’s a good game! 3. EVACUATION - Definitely Suchý’s heaviest game that I’ve played, but I love this game so much! A brain burner for sure. 2. VOIDFALL - This one is super heavy, but worth the effort! I thought it was going to be a Risk-like 4X game and that I’d hate it, but actually it’s very Euro and not mean unless you make it mean (you’re mostly fighting aliens). I love it! 1. AGE OF INNOVATION - I gave my friend this Terra Mystica sequel for his birthday, and he adores it, so we’ve been playing it a lot. 😄

Viticulture! Wingspan! Yay!!!❤

Thank you so much for featuring our games for this list!

Merci!
