Hi! I found your channel because I was thinking about buying "Trekking Through History" earlier last year. I bought it and loved it! I am now discovering so many games, all on the light end. My family has been enjoying the game nights I have orchestrated. It really is a wonderful hobby. Thank you for sharing your lovely enthusiasm. I hope to learn and discover more. PS Added "Panda Royale" and "Harvest" to my wishlist.
Great lists! I really appreciate that you both talked about the emotions you feel during the games; that's a big factor for me and my wife; We tend to steer away from games that give us negative feelings (even when the game is great!)
I ordered Lure immediately after your review. Can’t wait for it to get here! And I’m pretty sure I need to order Panda Royale now. We have 5 grandkids and are always looking for fun, simple games that allow lots of people to play. It sounds perfect for us! I think our game group at our local store will like it too. Thanks for sharing your top tens!
I fell in love with Panda Royale and Let's Go to Japan too! I've enjoyed Middle Ages on BGA but haven't played in person. Still need to get the Cascadia Rolling games and Wyrmspan to the table, but I'm certain I'll have a good time with them. I'm still undecided on if I want Black Forest but I have Rebirth preordered and can't wait for it to arrive!
Hi Kimberly and Louis, I really like your list. The ones I have played, I have enjoyed, and I put the others on my list to try out. I do feel a little cheated not getting Louis' whole list. Maybe next time....
Game of the year? I am surprised. I'm just happy I was able to order a copy. I am really looking forward to it. It looks like my kind of game. The last time I had strong vibes about a game was Tir na nog and I still love it. I think I'm even more excited about Andromeda's Edge but it's taking so long to get here. Happy gaming!
if you bring lewis on, you run the risk of his top 3 eclipsing yours, but as it is you take the Tolson crown! Delve > Forest (but only because of the lousy 2p take that stuff in forest), and Japan > Panda (imo of course) :)
Hello guys! Are you playing any war board games? We are looking for a war board game that we can enjoy, if you can advise us any. Thank you and happy new year to both of you 😊
Wings for the Baron isn't a war game, per se, but it is about war and I really like that...I like war games, though. Just don't get them in the table as often:)
Well. I picked Japan as my number 1 game of the year as well. and we also crossed over on the Cascadia Rolling Series. We must have a thing for AEG games.

It's awesome that you're discovering so many great games!
Kim - love your work, always positive and enthusiastic - have a great 2025.
Great lists! My family rly enjoys both Panda and Let's Go to Japan. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the list. So good to see you and Louis together in this video!!
Ordered Panda Royale on this recommendation and it was a hit at our game night last night.

Really enjoyed this video. Haven't played most of these you listed. Thanks for sharing.
Very happy to see Salton Sea, I feel like it get overlooked. Really unique and interesting list.
Thumbs up!
Thanks for this review, have ordered panda royale and will definitely check out your other recommendations:)
Great list of games. I agree with "let's go" I love that game and have such a fun time playing that game. I love the naration part

Thanks for your content!
Such a nice range of games. Heavy, light, dice-rolling, drafting, etc. Definitely will take a look at Black Forest also.
great list. I am excited to try my copy of Black Forest.

Hopefully next time we can do a full list!
I love that Lure is on your list! I’ll have to check out Panda Royale.
Wow, I never even HEARD of Panda Royale... guess I need to check this one out!
Great list!
How does Panda Royale play at 2 players?..🤔
The clear "steal" dice don't work as well with fewer player count, even with 3. Everything else works well, though.
Thanks for this unique list. Would appreciate a shot of the board to reference the gameplay described"
We bought Salton Sea and still haven't got it on the table. Devir is fantastic and we have to make time for this one.
I hope you had a happy new year!
Uwe is the King.

Panda Royale seems like it could have been made by an AI😂

Have you played Wondrous Creatures yet!? It's my #1 of 2024!
Between cascadia rolling hills and rivers which would you choose?
Rivers:)
