    I would appreciate if there was a picture of the game in progress, so that I can see how the game actually looks like..

    The thing that makes slay the spire the board game so amazing is the cooperative mode. Not only does it implement the feeling of the video game perfectly but it improves upon it. Cooperative mode allows creating combos together. Figuring out which lane to kill first. And then overall is just a banger of a time. For me the biggest downside is how long it takes to complete a full run but every minute is worth it to me.

    A big feature of Slay the Spire Board game is the cooperative multiplayer gameplay, highly recommend 😊

      Agreed. If the plan is to play true solo, you should 100% let the computer do all that upkeep and overhead (like shuffling 100 times) for you. However, if you want to have a blast with some friends this is a HUGE hit

    Rome: Fate of an Empire somehow has stolen my heart this year. It had no business being as great as it is, and while I know it's only a small solo experience, it lived up to the potential and hype for me. I'm getting some of the thrills Mage Knight delivered in a more accessible form, but with an theme and engine that fit my tastes better. I hope they make more content for it.

    @morgaknightgames หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I'm pretty sure that Unconscious Minds will be in my top ten new to me this year. It's currently on my table while I read the rule book, and I'm hoping to get it played this weekend.

    Alex, I've wanted Skyrise for a long time, based solely on the look of it. I have no idea how it plays, but it just looks cool. Glad to hear you like it, and that gives me some more motivation. It's weird, but in the old days I would just buy games based on the way they looked on the shelf. Later, I've gotten into reviews, and reviews, and recommendations, and more reviews...
    I wish I had just bought the game and gave it a try, with zero input. Grin.

    Not a fan of lists for the year this early. I felt the same with the 2024 v 2023 crowd funding video. Wait a bit closer to year end. Feels like being first is more important than the list.

  • @cryoakira7095
    @cryoakira7095 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Right now, one of my hit of 2024 is Chants for the Old Ones. It's a classic workers placement + deckbuilding combo but the vibe of it is great, the art fantastic, with interesting small tactical adjustments, and variable victory conditions. Really having fun with it.

  • @hermanturnip3984

    You're great at videos and I always get so many new ideas and game from you, and I don't mean to sound rude because again I love your content, but if you could just hold your excitement just a bit and talk slower you would help us non native speakers out there. Again, great content. Loved your Grimcoven review, helped me decide to finally back it!

    Two big surprises on this list: that Confusing Lands is on it (I love that game, but no one seems to know it exists) and that Elder Scrolls is so low.

    • @BoardGameCo

      Elder Scrolls gameplay is higher, but I'm hesitant to table it which takes away.

    Skyrise is such a strange game for me. I love it...? But I don't want to...but I do...XD Due to its easy to learn/teach hard to master -ness, I think it is one of the most played game this year!

  • @PatrickBrophy

    The real draw of Slay the Spire is to play it cooperatively. Yes it is a great implementation of the video game, but the video game didn't have multiplayer.

    Your top 10 games lists are always super weird for me. The games get worse and worse the further up the list I go. Like every single time. I like games that design with purpose and you seem to like really contrived ideas or games based of IPs.

    • @CallipygianMoose
      @CallipygianMoose หลายเดือนก่อน

      Usually with you on IPs, although slay the spire is very well designed. I also think Primal was very well thought out, a lot of time went in to making that game a good experience rather than just pumping it out there for a money grab.

    @coffeespoonman7931 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow, Primal? I bounced so hard off that. Hated it solo and just strongly disliked it 2p. On paper, it should have been exactly my kind of game, but I found the turns limited due to small hand size, the combos rewarding but very rarely able to actually trigger, and the game itself just painfully fiddly. I can see why people might like it, but I had the exact opposite experience to you. I would probably call it my biggest disappointment of 2024.

  • @briant2438
    @briant2438 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Makes me wonder of the filming date. I have had Unconscious Mind for over a month now in the US. Elder Scrolls won't be delivering until at the earliest December but likely January 2025. Unconscious Mind is fantastic! I have been impressed by Skyrise as well; the deluxe edition is very nice. I would also add Dune War for Arrakis as an all star (and Tanares ultimate since it came this year but I know it doesn't count)
