Once again I was too late with my video =D but my favorit wasnt mentioned and thats Rising Sun!

[@scottdaniel5269]

Dominant Species, which also happens to be my favorite game. One of my favorite mechanisms.

[@joelbergvonlinde1389]

Heh, my favorite was the dude telling the woman that Scythe isn’t area control (which it is), but rather worker placement (which it isnt) 😂

[@pg13]

No Simon from Seattle this week... He couldn't come up with an area control game that he remembered playing. We were going to play Star Wars Rebellion--his choice from a list of area control games that we own that he hasn't played yet...but we never found a window of time long enough to get a play in, much less a video about it.
He promises to get one in for next week. :)

[@todddonaldson885]

I love the variety of responses! TDT bringing the world together in gaming. Love it! Need more Roy playing games. ;)

[@eyoung6943]

The guy talking about area control of cats in bed was DEAD ON!!! Best part of the compilation, actually!

[@Typhoidpol]

I’ve got the Kickstarter exclusive, comes with a dog as a free add on😭👍

[@Cryptandos]

RISING FRICKIN SUN!!!

[@artdogez]

Yay! Someone said El Grande! My favorite Area Control game would be Kemet!

[@daem0nfaust]

Oh my God! Revolution! The game I wished I played when I was starting out in the hobby (but couldn't conveniently find).

[@gadgetgirl5142]

My favourite is Mission Red Plant. I love the little meeples that are so cute!

[@kimoro9643]

Nunami is a great area control game! Also we really enjoy Fae and Skora :)

[@musicforall1859]

A great one is Tyrants of the a underdark. It’s a Area control meets deck building

[@gaillardlionel]

Inis and Scythe!

[@evgenidimitrov7790]

Frenchy Plays Games is a great young channel, good luck frenchy.

[@bobmanser4189]

I love Revolution but the most enjoyable (and by that, I mean frustrating..!) area control game is Battle for Rokugan.

[@eVanDiesel]

Hey Family of Boardgames! My mind wasn't the only one that went to Rococo!!

[@BillyIndiana]

I really enjoy Inis & Kemet🔥

[@KabukiKid]

Did I spy a Danzig parody shirt for Zuul? :-D Love it! lol

[@gaillardlionel]

@FrenchyPlaysGames You have zero French accent that's incredible (from another Frenchy 😉)! Great choice with Inis...

[@koben333]

Wait, no one said Dune? 😮 that’s like the best one there is!

[@KabukiKid]

DUNE! Had to be said. ;-)

[@meganecro]

For me, it's Forbidden Stars. For the Emperor!

[@lughnagh]

Ooooh! We have that one, but I can’t get Em to play it!

[@arthurwohlwill3837]

World's Fair 1893

[@acpudman]

The 2 I really like were mentioned......El Grande and Viral

[@KabukiKid]

Axis & Allies... oh wow have I played a lot of games of that. heh My current favorite is Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition... that replaced the original for me. Amused to see that mentioned. :-)

[@Shelf_Help_ca]

Kemet!

[@mikaelhansson9613]

Not my favourite mechanism, but I like Britannia and (Advanced) Civilization. Both very long games that I don't play very often.

[@Kotro]

A video about area control games and no one mentioned games starting with the word "Twilight". Sad.

[@pikkdogs]

New York 1901 is my favorite!

[@Mentat1231]

My favorite that wasn't mentioned is Eclipse: Second Dawn. It's fantastic.

[@aussie_sologamer7349]

Played this game for the first time last night...Loved it

[@evgenidimitrov7790]

Tabletop Tolsen is a great channel, hope it grows more. Great videos with great content!

[@kosmonagon5924]

My top area control games are dune and ticket to ride London. And cosmic encounter if that counts

[@GamesOffTheShelf]

Lot of great picks this week. One of my favorite area control games is Eight-Minute Empire from Red Raven, also has a digital version on iOS and android to try out.

[@Duchessofdukestreet]

That was my second choice.

[@derek_davidson]

Any Axis and Allies game or Dune

[@npckse8508]

Definitely Cerebria the Inside World. A team based Area Control game? Mindclash Games? All for the win!!

[@leener33gmail]

No love for Small World? It may be "old" by now, but it was one of the first hobby games to draw my family in. I enjoy the limitless combinations of unique factions.

[@eVanDiesel]

Honestly, I didn't pick it because I thought it was going to be a popular choice! 🤪

[@ericdaly7861]

Same here

[@pikkdogs]

What? No Simon from Seattle? I feel cheated.
The winners today are those red haired children who like Scythe and Twice as Nice Dice.

[@natecress4226]

So many great games! Our current favorite is Rurik: Dawn of Kiev.

[@brianb5145]

Ethnos!

[@natecress4226]

"Everyone knows Scythe is a worker placement". Lol. Nice try David. Everyone= you and Sam Healey. 😄

[@christiankroner2965]

I'm surprised how often Royals is mentioned 🤔

[@tyrussleightholme7261]

Love terraforming mars but zero area control in it hahah

[@brianthomson3095]

The Alpha ... area = food

[@mabos555]

Not a fan of auctions but the first part of Pixel glory is nice

[@michaelgorman2027]

My favorite is the classic El Grande.
