Bloody love that transition at the start! That's epic! Also, saying that actual name of games in the time stamps is so good. I really dislike it when channels just use the numbers, its not hiding anything! Its useful!
Masterful editing job. Most people won’t notice that you added some sound fx but I hear you and love what you’ve done. Also the magic is also sold by your reactions to the transitions even though you spent time setting everything up. All the way around very well done.
Transitions were inventive and entertaining, just that little bit of awkward feeling, is he going to swing his arm or throw something that knocks the table or Shira, nice tension!
what an intro!! and yay for Shira for having her time to shine without Jesse saying all her treasures are useless :) I've only played one of these, TM, so looks like I have some games I need to at least give a try. Thanks for sharing all your joy with us **timestamp** you guys are having too much fun with these transitions, i fraking love it!
Great Top 10 list. Finally a list shows some love for all 3 of my favorite boardgames. Cyclades, Kemet and Inis are awesome and beautiful games. Each of them feels unique allthough all 3 of them are Area Control Games. Watching your list and entertaining video, makes me think we would match perfect for board game nights. Enjoy playing and keep up the great work. Awesome editing job btw!
Great transitions:) I think Quackalope is setting a new standard in board games youtube channels. From the content itself to the shared channels, all the way to the delivery. Keep it up ducks!
Wow... just wow... Shira and Jesse, this editing job is fantastic! I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to see the game components laid out. I would love to see this going forward for any top lists!
These transitions are awesome! So fun. I wanted to thank you guys for getting me into Kingdom Death. I got it 2 weeks ago and have been playing/painting non-stop!
Yes! The editing here has not gone unnoticed. As an editing assistant, I can appreciate the time and effort here. It's quick, fun, not distracting, and best of all, well done. Quacktastic! Adding some audio cues and bits would be fun too! Can we get a quack sound bit for covering up swear words or when something goes wrong/astray?
Thanks for noticing the editing. It definitely took some time. I will have to work on adding some audio bits in the future. Usually we just leave mess-ups in if we can.
I loooooove the transitions, you have made them so much fun!!!! My top 1 is Black Plague with all its expansions, i wish have the Horde Box too but.. All in this game is amazing
The transitions in this video...wow. Such an amazingly edited video. Oh yeah and Shira's list was great :) Shira BRING ON the top however many you want! The top upcoming the top 20, 50 we are here for it!
Such great production. A special video need a special transitions. Those were great and all that work of arranging the games so beautifully on the table and b-rolls etc.. I really appreciate it. Great job! Quack!
Love the editing of the video ... so much fun. I really like that Shira displays so much excitement for her picks ... honestly, all the enjoyment you display across all videos makes your videos so entertaining. Also, it is nice to see the names of the games in the timestamps. Simply using the numbers is not useful information ... suspenseful, yes, but not helpful. I would LOVE to see numbers 20-11!! Thanks Shira!
I LOVED!!! the video. Transition between games was so awesome. I liked your top 10. I never played KDM or Terraforming Mars. I will definitely check them both out. Happy gaming.
Wildly entertaining video and love all the quick cuts. It must've taken you a moment to set up and break down all of those games. Thanks for all of your hard work. Nice to hear more from Shira and I love the dating story about TM. Seems like a good screening tool to me! For me, this is one of your best videos in a long while. Oh, and P.S. YES TO SHIRA'S TOP 20. Please?!
This was an awesome video, love the production value. I've always been a little irked when you guys do list videos and don't show the games you're talking about, so this is an awesome change if videos will be like this going forward.
Well, that was a blast, what a ride! Thanks for sharing your top 10 Shira! I am unsure about area control, but in all honesty, I haven't really given it much of a chance. I do really enjoy Terraforming Mars, though.
I like the transitions and super happy to get images and a brief explanation of the game with it set up in front of you. This allowed me to at least see what the game looks like without needing to go find another video about the game just to find out I don't like the board layout or what it looks like visually. I feel like most top 10 list are just a list and here is the box cover which doesn't help me visualize the game. This worked for me.
I am glad you liked the new style. We are hoping to do this more with Top 10 lists. It has been requested enough times but it added a lot more work in filming and editing.
Love all of the fun transitions and camera tricks, haha. I had to rewind and watch them a couple of times. As for Shira's picks! Man I was so hyped by all of the Matagot love, that trilogy is also in my top 15, in the same order, so great! Then... you lost me with the top 3, haha. All good though! Great video!
Great editing, I love it, must have been a lot of effort. Also, great list! And yes, I want to see Shira's Top 20! Keep up the great work, love your videos.
Great picks, Shira! I'm not a fan of area control but you named a few that seemed pretty cool. Side note: Great job on the edits! They were so fun! Keep up the great work! I'm eager to see some Crimson Scales game play! Edit: Ey Kingdom Death! Heck yeah!
Great video! LOVE the transitions and the energy. It's interesting to me that I own none of the games in Shira's top 10, and several in Jesse's. Maybe Shira is the true innovator, or maybe I am just not a big area control person. Age of Steam is on my list to get though. I personally would love to see 11-20.
Age of Steam is my favourite game and it's great to finally see someone else sharing the love. Really love the list, some of my favourite games and some that I've been really looking forward to trying, especially Cyclades. For something a little different for area control I'd recommend giving Mezo a try, if you haven't already
What a fun video, my favorite transition might be the face transition to Kemet 🤣. Great games all around, some I need to play still though. It’s cool to see KDM on the list because I feel like I’ve watch the appreciation and love grow from the ground up. I love watching the board game content and the channel grow, but I also love watching you two grow together. I don’t know you all, but I love what you have with each other. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your life. Cheers 🍻
Jesse's head hurt a bit after that one :) Thank you so much for being here with us on the journey. I still remember my first show-down with the White Lion one year ago.
😊 editing of this video the excitement and the passion put into it has just garnered a like for all future videos out of me even if I don't watch it. well done
Great list, of these games I've only played Inish, Cyclades and Kemet with Kemet being my favourite game of all time. Really need to try the others on this list!
I love the editing here but am a little nervous to say so. I know that these sorts of things take much more time and effort and y’all need to be able to sleep! Great work as always and it’s fun seeing Shira feel more confident on camera and that she’s part of the space.
Great video guys! Loved all the awesome transitions. Shira - you seem to have very similar board game tastes as me... y'all should try The Moon map for Age of Steam! QUACK!
Masterful edit jobs. This is kind of thing that make your channel unique. Also your reactions in all transactions are there but also very minimum, I love that you guys never try to be clingy in anyway. There are few youtube channels that try so hard to be funny but they are so cringe and that interrupt the watch massively.
Great list ! I defenitely need to check Kemet and Cyclades now, Inis I already know and is a fantastic mind fu**er . Codenames is great, needs a lot of concentration though, and as such it is not so well suited as a party-game imo, but man, coming up with a clue (after a lot of deep thinking) that is not ambiguous is very statisfying. Great editing of the video as well indeed, it is a very charming touch !
Hey! What a great video with great content. As an editor I can see all the effort and prep for this video and I really appreciate it. If I can give a piece of advice is just be careful with the background song volume. In a few parts I felt it was a bit too high and distracting. The Intro was great, the transitions pretty seem less and smooth, sfx on spot, nice and clean cuts. Great job. Content wise, yes I would definitely be interested in top 20, but what about adding some spice to it. What if you do something that you could have some argument over it. Like top games for specific mechanics and than you give arguments over why your pick is better. Idk just an idea.
The production and editing on this is amazing, the transitions reminded me of my friend’s Instagram. It’s good to see a variety of genres, I see you gravitate toward the area control based game. Personally I like co-op and legacy based games but the problem is having a consistent play group for the latter.
Great list Shira, though only one of them appears on my shelves! The transitions were amazing, Jesse. That was a ton of extra work, but the quality and effort shows.
Bloody love that transition at the start! That's epic!
Also, saying that actual name of games in the time stamps is so good. I really dislike it when channels just use the numbers, its not hiding anything! Its useful!
I like being transparent but it sometimes helps with the retention on the video when people don't know what is coming and want to see the surprise.
@@Quackalope And it does Quackalope little good if people don't watch the video, and just click-and-skim!
@@Quackalope people will skim and move through it, just less pissed off!
That's my feeling anywaym
Masterful editing job. Most people won’t notice that you added some sound fx but I hear you and love what you’ve done. Also the magic is also sold by your reactions to the transitions even though you spent time setting everything up. All the way around very well done.
Haha I went into this without knowing what transition Jesse would do. He surprised me each time!
Transitions were inventive and entertaining, just that little bit of awkward feeling, is he going to swing his arm or throw something that knocks the table or Shira, nice tension!
what an intro!! and yay for Shira for having her time to shine without Jesse saying all her treasures are useless :) I've only played one of these, TM, so looks like I have some games I need to at least give a try. Thanks for sharing all your joy with us
**timestamp** you guys are having too much fun with these transitions, i fraking love it!
Haha Jesse likes all my treasures off camera. He is just a grumpy puss on camera :)
What a masterpiece of a top 10 list! The energy the drama the editing the joy! Thank you!😊
Great Top 10 list. Finally a list shows some love for all 3 of my favorite boardgames. Cyclades, Kemet and Inis are awesome and beautiful games. Each of them feels unique allthough all 3 of them are Area Control Games. Watching your list and entertaining video, makes me think we would match perfect for board game nights. Enjoy playing and keep up the great work. Awesome editing job btw!
Great transitions:) I think Quackalope is setting a new standard in board games youtube channels.
From the content itself to the shared channels, all the way to the delivery. Keep it up ducks!
Wow... just wow... Shira and Jesse, this editing job is fantastic! I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to see the game components laid out. I would love to see this going forward for any top lists!
Thank you for showing each game, on the table, in front of you, and some b-roll shots. This makes me watch so much more.
Oh the editing of this video was so epic!!! Hopefully we get to see another Top 10 like this soon, because I highly enjoyed this video :)
These transitions are awesome! So fun.
I wanted to thank you guys for getting me into Kingdom Death. I got it 2 weeks ago and have been playing/painting non-stop!
That intro was amazing, the transitions are awesome, and Shira has impeccable taste in games! Great job!
Yes! The editing here has not gone unnoticed. As an editing assistant, I can appreciate the time and effort here. It's quick, fun, not distracting, and best of all, well done. Quacktastic! Adding some audio cues and bits would be fun too! Can we get a quack sound bit for covering up swear words or when something goes wrong/astray?
Thanks for noticing the editing. It definitely took some time. I will have to work on adding some audio bits in the future. Usually we just leave mess-ups in if we can.
Loved the format you guys! I know it was a lot of extra work but setting each game up made a HUGE difference! I hope that catches on! Thanks!
I loooooove the transitions, you have made them so much fun!!!!
My top 1 is Black Plague with all its expansions, i wish have the Horde Box too but.. All in this game is amazing
Thank you! Which was your favorite transition?
Love this list, Shira's explaination on her favorites and the transitions and editing are the bomb!
Top notch editing, entertaining dialog and back and forth and a big thumbs up based on the games on your list. Delightful video all around. Well done.
Wow! The editing on this is unreal. Very fun watching the transitions and such a great reaction to number 2.
The transitions in this video...wow. Such an amazingly edited video. Oh yeah and Shira's list was great :) Shira BRING ON the top however many you want! The top upcoming the top 20, 50 we are here for it!
Wow...the editing...you've gotten scary good with fun interesting transitions :)
Haha thank you. Still a work in progress.
Love the start. Here we go! Glad to see all your hard work pay of in the content! And also, I could look at another ten, sure.
Thanks! Next 10 will be coming at some point.
Such great production.
A special video need a special transitions.
Those were great and all that work of arranging the games so beautifully on the table and b-rolls etc..
I really appreciate it.
Great job! Quack!
Great list Shira!! That EDITING though!! I had to rewind #3 to watch that again! On Point!
Thank you so much!
Well done! Such a fun video! I would love to see Shiraz’s top 20 and sooner rather than later. Thanks for the unexpected lift to my day!
Production/Edits on this one is top notch! Love the creativity and style - hope this is a sign of things to come!!! 10/10
Love the editing of the video ... so much fun. I really like that Shira displays so much excitement for her picks ... honestly, all the enjoyment you display across all videos makes your videos so entertaining. Also, it is nice to see the names of the games in the timestamps. Simply using the numbers is not useful information ... suspenseful, yes, but not helpful.
I would LOVE to see numbers 20-11!! Thanks Shira!
I LOVED!!! the video. Transition between games was so awesome. I liked your top 10. I never played KDM or Terraforming Mars. I will definitely check them both out. Happy gaming.
Thanks. I am happy with how the edit came out!
Definitely a good watch! Appreciative of your time and effort and intrigued to hear what the other 10 would have been!
Top shelf editing. Well done. I just keep watching the transitions
haha which one is your favorite?
@@Quackalope tough call. Probably the kdm box drop
That is awesome editing! So much fun!
Wonderful to see Shira's top 10 games! The next top 10 should be accessories!! :-D
Loved the transitions! Just got Zombicide Black Plague delivered today. Cant wait to play it
What a cool video, the transitions between games and the banter between you both Great Job!
Wildly entertaining video and love all the quick cuts. It must've taken you a moment to set up and break down all of those games. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Nice to hear more from Shira and I love the dating story about TM. Seems like a good screening tool to me!
For me, this is one of your best videos in a long while. Oh, and P.S. YES TO SHIRA'S TOP 20. Please?!
LOVE the transitions! Great video, as always! Quack!
Thank you :) Quack Quack
I love the editing!! Great video. Also really like the spotlight on Shira! Bring that top 20! :)
You guys are really upping your transition game on this one! Most Excellent!
Great list Shira! Editing was awesome in this video too. Great job!
Loved the editing cuts, very well done. Yes please would be interested in a top 20 list of games from Shira.
This was an awesome video, love the production value. I've always been a little irked when you guys do list videos and don't show the games you're talking about, so this is an awesome change if videos will be like this going forward.
Very nice video - not too long. On to the point. And very creative transitions! :-) An enjoyable watch ... would definetely watch Top20
Thank you! We will have to get working on that.
Love the transitions! Well produced!! Great list of games. Never got into area control as I have been mostly solo gaming!
Loved the editing to this one, great video!
Thanks so much! Shira did an amazing job!
Well, that was a blast, what a ride! Thanks for sharing your top 10 Shira! I am unsure about area control, but in all honesty, I haven't really given it much of a chance. I do really enjoy Terraforming Mars, though.
Super cool to hear Shira’s picks, and choices so well explained, bring on the top 20, or top 100. Great video!
The editing on this video was jaw dropping, I was excited throughout the whole video to see the next transition!
I like the transitions and super happy to get images and a brief explanation of the game with it set up in front of you. This allowed me to at least see what the game looks like without needing to go find another video about the game just to find out I don't like the board layout or what it looks like visually. I feel like most top 10 list are just a list and here is the box cover which doesn't help me visualize the game. This worked for me.
I am glad you liked the new style. We are hoping to do this more with Top 10 lists. It has been requested enough times but it added a lot more work in filming and editing.
Excellent production quality.. Love the B roll.. Well done!
Thank you! It was Jesse's idea and he helped with the filming. I just did the editing.
Really nice production showing all the games!
thank you so much!
Super satisfying transitions. Good job and great list!
Love all of the fun transitions and camera tricks, haha. I had to rewind and watch them a couple of times.
As for Shira's picks! Man I was so hyped by all of the Matagot love, that trilogy is also in my top 15, in the same order, so great! Then... you lost me with the top 3, haha. All good though! Great video!
Great editing, I love it, must have been a lot of effort. Also, great list! And yes, I want to see Shira's Top 20! Keep up the great work, love your videos.
Really stepped up your transition game!
Great video. Great game selection.
Thank you! Working hard to get better at this editing thing.
Great picks, Shira! I'm not a fan of area control but you named a few that seemed pretty cool.
Side note: Great job on the edits! They were so fun! Keep up the great work! I'm eager to see some Crimson Scales game play!
Edit: Ey Kingdom Death! Heck yeah!
Love that table slam ‘executive summary’! Great work
That quick cut intro was awesome (so was the list)! :D
Thanks! We thought people might like to see a quick peak before watching the reasons why.
Oh, and I'm so glad that you keep experimenting with the cuts, Jesse! You already mastered it, so keep us (and yourself) entertained by them! 😎
Fantastic list. Loved the edits and beginning intro. A top 20 you say? I’d definitely watch that from both of you!
The editing on this is fantastic. I love it! Bring on the other 10 games.
Oh my! Loved all the transitions ... and the game list too. :)
I love videos like this! Shira - thanks for sharing your top 10! Bring on the Top 20!! Also, great transitions guys 🦆
Wow stepped up the production value, and great list Shira, I haven't played the Matagot area conrol games, but I really should
I love the Matagot area control games. Some of the best in my opinion.
Top 20 please! I love how the editing works, it makes it a non stop fun ride.
KDM #2 impressive!
Great video! LOVE the transitions and the energy. It's interesting to me that I own none of the games in Shira's top 10, and several in Jesse's. Maybe Shira is the true innovator, or maybe I am just not a big area control person. Age of Steam is on my list to get though. I personally would love to see 11-20.
Loved seeing Shira breakdown her favorites. This was such a great video. Can't wait for the follow up "Top 10 Convention Pins of all time". 😉
This video was sooo good. Great job guys!!! The excitement the editing was so amazing to watch and listen
Wow! Amazing list, and amazing video! Going to echo all the other comments just by saying... absolutely fantastic.
Loved this video. Do a top 20! Also the transitions, omg nice.
Editing absolutely on point here!!!
Age of Steam is my favourite game and it's great to finally see someone else sharing the love. Really love the list, some of my favourite games and some that I've been really looking forward to trying, especially Cyclades.
For something a little different for area control I'd recommend giving Mezo a try, if you haven't already
I really love the transitions. So cool :D
What a fun video, my favorite transition might be the face transition to Kemet 🤣. Great games all around, some I need to play still though.

Jesse's head hurt a bit after that one :) Thank you so much for being here with us on the journey. I still remember my first show-down with the White Lion one year ago.
This is a magical video! Shira has wonderful taste. Dare I say....the best taste in the entire Quackalope Universe?
Loved the video ... all the games look great and the transitions where so much fun. thanks for the video
Wow that was some insane editing work!
that intro and the transitions so nice GJ
Thank you :)
Real professional production. Great work.
Loved all the transitions!!! good games
do the Top 20!!! Quack!!
😊 editing of this video the excitement and the passion put into it has just garnered a like for all future videos out of me even if I don't watch it. well done
Great list and excellent editing. Keep up the solid work.
Great list, of these games I've only played Inish, Cyclades and Kemet with Kemet being my favourite game of all time. Really need to try the others on this list!
Loved the transitions! Great video. 😁
I love the editing here but am a little nervous to say so. I know that these sorts of things take much more time and effort and y’all need to be able to sleep! Great work as always and it’s fun seeing Shira feel more confident on camera and that she’s part of the space.
Great transitions & editing 🔥 Also a great list! Inis, Kemet & Castles of Burgundy are all high on my list too👍
Thank you!
Amazing presentation and editing! 👏👏👏
Best top 10 video ever! Outstanding job.
thank you! I like the games :)
Dont normally comment but the video quality and editing is superb. Great job! 👍
The change between games was impressive. Now I want everyone to do that on a Top Ten list.
Great picks in your Top Ten.
Thanks. It does add a lot of behind the scenes work ;)
Great list! Castles of Burgundy and Terraforming Mars are also in my top 10!
Great video guys! Loved all the awesome transitions. Shira - you seem to have very similar board game tastes as me... y'all should try The Moon map for Age of Steam! QUACK!
I will have to find it or ask our friends if they have it. Thanks!
The production of this video must have been very time consuming,it did not go unnoticed.Great job,want to see the next 10 please.
thank you! I worked hard on it and my next 10 are ready :)
Killer video, smooth, unpredictable and fun well done.
Masterful edit jobs. This is kind of thing that make your channel unique. Also your reactions in all transactions are there but also very minimum, I love that you guys never try to be clingy in anyway. There are few youtube channels that try so hard to be funny but they are so cringe and that interrupt the watch massively.
Great list ! I defenitely need to check Kemet and Cyclades now, Inis I already know and is a fantastic mind fu**er . Codenames is great, needs a lot of concentration though, and as such it is not so well suited as a party-game imo, but man, coming up with a clue (after a lot of deep thinking) that is not ambiguous is very statisfying. Great editing of the video as well indeed, it is a very charming touch !
I’m only 0:21 secs in at the moment, but I love how the video intros have become effectively one big word: “HELLOANDWELCOMETOQUACKALOPE”
haha it's the only proper way to start a video
Absolutely beautiful production quality
thank you so much!
The Kemet transition is my favorite so far
Hey! What a great video with great content. As an editor I can see all the effort and prep for this video and I really appreciate it. If I can give a piece of advice is just be careful with the background song volume. In a few parts I felt it was a bit too high and distracting. The Intro was great, the transitions pretty seem less and smooth, sfx on spot, nice and clean cuts. Great job. Content wise, yes I would definitely be interested in top 20, but what about adding some spice to it. What if you do something that you could have some argument over it. Like top games for specific mechanics and than you give arguments over why your pick is better. Idk just an idea.
The production and editing on this is amazing, the transitions reminded me of my friend’s Instagram.
It’s good to see a variety of genres, I see you gravitate toward the area control based game.
Personally I like co-op and legacy based games but the problem is having a consistent play group for the latter.
This video is so well made! Thanks for the effort and great list! :)
Also, I'd love to see your top 20
Great list Shira, though only one of them appears on my shelves! The transitions were amazing, Jesse. That was a ton of extra work, but the quality and effort shows.
Oh man, love the transitions!
Great list of games. Haven't played a few of them but the ones I have I really enjoy.
Thank you! I would play any of them any day of the week!
