Thank you so much for visiting Gaming Top-Down!
I grew up playing (now-retro) video games and board games and have always been inspired by the creativity and skill that board game and video game developers have.
With this channel, I'll primarily be focused on modern board games. I want to give as much focus as possible to the board games that I cover, so you won't see my face too often. I think you'd rather see the game and hear my voice than listen to a talking head.
I'll primarily be posting board game reviews, playthroughs, and top 10 lists of the games that I own and play. Thanks again for being here. I hope you'll find enough value, positivity, and enthusiasm to come back.
Happy gaming!

2 points! GG
Nice job!
Dinigenics is a Top 5 game for me. Already backing it.
Maybe I need to give it another look! Have you played Dinosaur Island or Dinosaur World? How does it compare to those?
Wow, I have Never looked at the back. Hahahaha Thank you. Yes it's a total of 18 Factions.🚀🚀🚀🚀
Yeah, the back surprised me too. I thought it would also be in the deluxe black. I like the colorful box, so fine with me! I'm excited to play with all of the factions. So many factions, so little time.
2- can’t commit to this . :/
Yeah, finding a group that will seems to be the biggest barrier for this one.
2- never played but have seen it.
0- never played. I like that your showing off stuff I haven’t seen before
Thanks!
0 :/
Good one with a bigger group.
0- it’s on my list to play
3- bought this for a friend .
Fun! I still need to try it.
0- never played
0- looks cool, checking it out.
I really like this one, but it doesn't get much attention at all.
0- never played
0- never played
I like Button Shy's wallet collection.
0- heard it’s a good solo game though.
Yeah, it's a good one. Pretty difficult, at least for me.
0- never heard of it either
Pretty popular solo-only series.
3- just played on BGA- solid game and strong theme
That's awesome! I didn't know it was on there yet.
3- it’s a go to for an opener or closer of the night.
Yeah, for me too. Bought it for all of my family members that love Phase 10... it's just infinitely better.
2. Haven’t played but seen this on many lists.
Just got it, but it is intimidating me from the shelf so I haven't played yet.
0 lol
Yeah, that's a tougher one.
3, haven’t played yet, on the list .
I'd recommend this one, as long as you like card drafting.
Hey! Natera: New Beginning designer here. Thanks for the shoutout and for the pick of the week! It means a lot to us. Subbed to the channel, keep up the good work : - )
Thanks! Natera looks super cool. Best of luck on the campaign!
3 points
3 pts...didn't listen to the whole thing following my first comment 😅
3 pts
3, cool idea for videos
Thanks! And nice work. A Lacerda fan, I would guess?
I’m a fan of many games! I’ll play anything that has solid mechanics and even better if it’s well produced with a nice theme!
3 points
Nice job!
Barrage is one of my favorite games but that box is just too big. I got the extra countries without the box.
Nice! Yeah, that box is massive and pricey.
Salton Sea
Good review! 😊
@@kitsapkid6697 Thanks!
I don't get the hype for Sky Team, me and the wife played it a few times and we found it terribly boring. People obviously enjoyed it but it just didn't work for us. Also Santorini was our biggest disappointment in gaming so far, i had to wait 3 months and get it imported and wow what a disappointment. I really need to get Spirit Island played 😬
I still need to try Sky Team and Santorini. Both games a UBER popular, but that same thing happens to me from time-to-time. Everdell, for example, is one that I though was just OK and ended up selling. Good thing there are SO MANY games available now-a-days!
@@GamingTopDown yea exactly, not all games are for everyone 😁
Leviathan is mandatory for Abyss, makes the game way better and we also have the Kraken as well. Not as necessary but we have them all in the one box so just play with both
Funny you should mention these! I have Leviathan and just ordered Kraken last night. Excited to try it with both.
Excellent video, really informative.
Thanks for the nice words and thanks for watching!
Appreciate the video and the tidy description with links to the kickstarters. Pledged to the Nice Cuppa campaign off the back of your video.
Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for watching. I do love Button Shy, so I’ll probably be backing that one as well.
Arborea is probably my favorite game I've played this year so far, i love the interaction and the shared resources so much plus I just think its so pretty.
I agree! I really love it too. Elkworms need to be in more games!
I just bought this one today. 😳
Fun! I really like how it looks, but it is going to kick my butt. 😅
Scout!
Nice job!
I’m slowly growing my collection but one of my favorites starting with B is Bunny Kingdom! 😊
I've heard good things about that one!
Great game. Vital is definitely my favorite designer. Have KEV, Vinhos, Weather Machine, and Lisboa. Looking to grab more!
Which of his games is your favorite?
@GamingTopDown KEV but WM is a close second.
I knew what board game it was at 3 points, but I couldn't name it, so I got 0 points. I have never played it. I have only seen it while browsing for games.
Hey, if you knew it, that counts in my book! It's a really excellent card game. Thanks for watching!
Not a lot of T games in my collection but Thundery & Lightning and Tsukiji are solid titles.
@@mrbovinejoni569 Thunder and Lightning looks awesome!
Got three points, but technically that is two pieces!
Great work! Yeah, you got me there. I like the fertilizer piece a lot, so I had to throw it on. Thanks for watching!
Another zero points, never heard of it lol
Keep trying, you'll get one soon!
I got 1 point 😢😂
Hey, 1 point is impressive for a brand new game like this!
what about ezra and nehemiah?
I haven’t played that one yet! Is it one of your favorites from this year?
Really great video and overview! I agree that it's a very smooth and relaxing game, but it has surprising depth and good decisions. I'll be checking out more of your vids!
Thanks so much! Yeah, Harvest is super great. I appreciate you watching!
Hey! Thanks for checking out our game, Dogs With Jobs! We really appreciate the quick and honest coverage!
Of course! Love looking at upcoming games and Dogs with Jobs looks unique. Best of luck with the campaign!
Arcs looks like it would be awesome with a dedicated group to get repeat plays in
I agree. I’ve played it online twice, but I’m really excited to play it in person after it delivers.
Hope you enjoy it!
I played it solo yesterday and got crushed! Really enjoyed it though. I think I'll record my next solo game to put up on the channel.
0 points, never heard of it.
You'll get one of the next ones! Thanks for watching!
