Coming back from GenCon with 10 games and 10 dollars
You are a rich man.
We’re not going to GenCon this year. My shelf of unplayed games has created our motto for this year- “we have GenCon at home.”😂 However, that has not stopped me from now looking into Distilled!
Devir's games look generally really appealing to me. I like their chosing of themes and often there is a really good game behind it. The artwork is also so good.
This might be the year devir gets put on my radar as a company I really need to look forward to. What else have they done?
@@txsportsfreak02 There are really alot. Just taking this year into account you have Ierusalem, 3 Ring Circus, The White Castle and Bamboo.
Lacrimosa is a beauty
bitoku and spirit
Nice list. I will be interested to watch you play some of these.
Great list! Thanks for reminding me that Terra Mystica Age of Innovation is releasing soon - which means it's finally up on pre-order. So I'll grab that, and I'm definitely interested in the look of some of the other choices here - particularly "City of the Great Machine".
Yeah Age of Innovation looks bang-a-rang!
Love Devir! Jerusalem would have flown under the radar for me ... thanks for bringing it to my attention, my interest is peaked!
Definitely go for “City of the Great Machine” ! It’s awesome ! Also, you will be playing it differently based on player count:
- Great as a solo game
- With two, either play as coop against the machine or as machine vs heroes
- With three, play as coop or one vs many
- With four, you will then play classic one vs many
Oh wow that’s really cool! Our interest grows And grows
@@TheBrothersMurph hi guys.
Do you know that CrowD games is one of biggest publishers in russia?
Very sad to see how many russian\around russia games are promoted by Western bloggers in last year.
I'm stoked for City of the Great Machine! Won't be at Gen Con, but I hope to snag a copy from Boardlandia when it comes back in stock.
Enjoy Distilled guys, it's made Julian's fav game so far this year. We had the chance to chat with designer Dave at UKGE and he was super lovely - the next game coming from Paverson - Luthier looks fantastic too, so don't miss checking that out.
Hope you both have an amazing time at Gen Con 😀
From your list I’m looking forward to Search for Lost Species and Age of Innovation. Sky Team sounds like it could be interesting. I’ll wait for reviews on that one though.
You will not be disappointed with Distilled. Great game. Plan for enough time for it, and it's super good!
Yaaaasssssss
My game of the year! I can't stop making booze!
Echoing all of this. Distilled is VERY good.
I've been making my list! Thanks for the vid to help :D
You got it and see you there!
I have Ierusalem, my first Devir game, and the quality of production in Devir games really amazed me
CotGM is one I backed and was unsure about, but the theme caught me. One of the best surprises after play, super enjoyable! The teach is weird, but mostly because it plays differently than similar games. I’d love to hear y’alls thoughts when you get to it. Thanks for the great content
Very cool so happy you’ve been liking it!
nice list! We got a couple of these early via kickstarter. We hope to see you guys at Gencon!
See ya there!!
Looking forward to GenCon and looking forward to hopefully meeting you two in person! Inside Job is one of the best games I've played this year. The first time I played it with a group, we ended up playing it 10 times in a row! It's that fun!
Definitely come find us we’ll be cruising around
@@TheBrothersMurph Will do. Got my tickets the interactive game show you guys are in so will definitely see you there! :)
City of the Great Machine is fantastic! Very thematic gameplay of cat & mouse. And always pretty close. Never really feels like much of a blowout on either side.
Sounds Fun!
My brother got me War of the Ring TCG for my birthday. WOTR is my favorite epic game but I am interested to try this when we have less time. The Shadow Coop looks interesting.
I have Jerusalem Anno Domini, just waiting for my game group to catch up on our play queue. Good to see a Biblical period game anyone can play and enjoy (BGG mid-weight 3.12).
Idea: If you have a day to play 2 games, would be interested to try Viticulture followed by Distilled.
Idea: Brother Murph challenge... how many games you can fit into 1 carry-on backpack for a trip.
Just ordered City Of The Great Machine. Can't wait to play it.
YAY! Can't wait to meet you both in real life (Hopefully)! I am looking forward to Emerge and Hamlet!
Quite a variety of gaming in your list. For me, if I would be at Gencon and the games would be available, the 5 I would instantly buy would be (in no particular order):
- Chronicles of Drunagor - Age of Darkness - Apocalypse
- GWT- New Zealand
- Oltréé - Undead and Alive
- Revive - Call of the Abyss
- The Rich and the Good
From your list, City of the Great machine and Distilled are the 2 that interest me the most, but i have friends who owned them already. 🙂
Have a great trip, it's coming soon!
Love this list!
Have the City of the Great Machine from kickstarter and it is as great as you think it is!!!!
Dang that’s awesome!
I got to play a couple three player games of Inside Job and yeah I was paranoid it was great. It’s gonna be on my next Gamenerdz order for sure. I don’t know for sure if Robot Quest Arena will be there, but that’s another new one I really enjoyed at Dice Tower East too!
We'll take a look at Robot Quest!
@@TheBrothersMurph that’s great! I came home from Dice Tower and preordered it and the two player expansions. I generally like deck building not love and it does everything I want it to do. My wife hates deck building and liked it anyways. Hope you guys enjoy it
Great list! Spider-geddon is my #1
When they started talking about 3 Ring Circus I went and grabbed Castell off my shelf to see if they were related at all. Then they started talking about Castell! A true moment of connection between presenter and viewer. :P
Ha! Right?! They just feel connected somehow!
Good list. I'm interested in Sky Team now, sounds super cool
Heck yeah!
Murph-tastic as always Bros. Agree 3 ring circus and Sky Team look ver good.
They just so soooo right up our alley!
I've just played Ieruslalem, the theme fits the game well and the components are gorgeous. I'd suggest you to play with 3 or 4 players. I hope you like it as well
Good to know on the player count! It's such an intriguing game!
My copy of Sky Team has been pre-order and paid for like 2 weeks now.
Also excited for the Renegade reissue of Acquire.
Heck yeah!!!
Excited to hear your thoughts on 3 ring circus vs Castell
We can't wait to try it!
Dang Anno Domini is such a cool theme for me. Instantly became a must buy.
Totally agree with your number one!
Wahoo!
Great video! Just a heads up: Scorpion Masqué has an accent on the last e, and it should pronounced in english ''Scoprion mask-ay''.
Scoprion masqué means ''Masked Scoprion'' whereas Scoprion Masque without the é would simply mean ''Scorpion Mask'', which is a bit of a different. Hope this helps! :D
Thanks for the clarification!
I hadn't given much thought to 3 Ring Circus but oh no! Now it sounds so good! Age of Innovation is a maybe (been really enjoying Gaia Project) and City of the Great Machine sounds really cool. I might try to look for Federation by Eagle Gryphon games (just because it's been nearly impossible to get) and General Orders (since I liked Undaunted and love War Chest). I really just want to demo a bunch though. Last Light, Big Boss, Call of Duty, 20 Strong, Galactic Cruise, and Dead Cells.
I think we're checking out Galactic Cruise at some point, excited about that one!
Shamans is a really clever trick-taking hidden role/traitor game. If you’re enthusiastic about Inside Job, recommend checking Shamans out, too.
Oooo cool! We'll look into it!
I am in disbelief you did not get Distilled! It’s a fantastic game and very thematic for a mid-euro and has an excellent solo mode. I have played it several times and enjoy it thoroughly. I hope you pick it up and say hello to Dave the designer! Have fun at GenCon!
I know! I remember hearing about it and all and we just somehow missed the train on it. So fingers crossed we can snag it at the con!
I'm loving Distilled! It was my "big" purchase at Origins! I will have it with me at Gen Con if you want to play 💜
Ooooooo we’d love to if we have time!
@@TheBrothersMurph It’s my first Gen Con and after my first Origins I already know there is fair less time than I can even imagine 😂
I saw a playthrough of sky team on a French channel and it seems super neat indeed and very easy to table.
Yeah we’re mega hyped for it!
Ierusalem sounds so good to me! I will be checking it out.
Looking forward to sipping my Murphy Whiskey while I play Distilled. Make it happen boys!
The old diaper money vs hobby debate, I know it so well Mike. Glad to see you took care of business before having fun first :)
Nice choices, come to see us at the Hachette Booth to play Sky Team ! Il will be a pleasure to show you the game :) - Martin
We’ll definitely be stopping by!
I just soloed distilled today trying to decide to keep it or not..hey pick me up wandering towers and sky team and I’ll pick them up from you in the ‘Nard or under a shady overpass in Camarillo
Inside job sounds awesome!
Just got Lost Species ks looks really good and really want Distilled. Looking froward to the Distilled company's next game about making instruments.
Ooooih that sounds awesome!
Well Inside Job and Sky Team are now on my list.
Yassssss
Great list.
Thanks!
Distilled is awesome! So glad I backed it...
Exciting
The heroes stand in pack is fascinating too. We co op the game.
Nice!
There's not one, but TWO Texas Chainsaw Massacre games coming out! One by Funko and the other by Trick or Treat! I'm gonna have Missy snag BOTH of them for me!
Also, we pre-bought the Arnak expansion, so we are guaranteed to get a copy!!
That's a lot of massacre-ing!
Hey Guys, not seeing your GenCon show in the details. Can you post it, or is it an event we need tickets for through the GenCon portal?
Agh I totally forgot! Thank you for the reminder! here is the show!: www.gencon.com/events/223705
Jerusalem Anno Domini is so damn good. It is surprisingly good. Blew my crew away!
As is Distilled!
Yesssss let’s goooo 🤘🏼
We LOVE City of Machine!!!!
Super sad I'm going to miss you at Gencon. I was hoping to go this year but finances are hard. Next year let us know you're going and if you're doing a Meetup!
Ah dang sorry to miss ya. But yeah finances are what they are and good on ya for setting your priorities appropriately. Fingers crossed for next year!
Distilled is my favorite game of the year so far.
I want to play it soooooooo bad!
Sky Team seems super interesting!
Yeah we're super keen to try it
You reference BGG GenCon preview list. can you link that? i have been searching for it and cant seem to find the right combo of terms. i found the 2022 list....thanks in advance.
found it...via the Gen Con 2023 Metalist.
We meant to link it and forgot! Thanks for the reminder!
I absolute missing in your list, arnak missing expedition and gwt new Zealand
Someone didn’t watch the beginning of our video. Arnak isn’t on there because we’re getting it before Gen Con, and New Zealand isn’t for sale at the con
@@TheBrothersMurph 😮 oh iam sorry dudes, so... very nice list
"I could go buy diapers for my kids but Gen Con awaits!" ... good thing priorities are understood. :)
Hahaha
Iki Expansion coming out at Gen Con
GenCon newbie here- if there’s a game I want, should I buy on the first day? Do they usually run out?
It really depends on the game and the publisher. Some games will sell out very quickly, so if you were worried about it selling out, you should probably grab it on the first day if you can. But what most publishers seem to do now days, is they will have a certain amount for each day of the con. So if they only have 400 copies total, they will sell 100 a day. And once they’re sold out for the day, they don’t sell anymore until the next day. So a lot of times if you miss it on the first day you will have a chance on the subsequent days, but again, if you’re worried about missing something, you should probably just pick it up when you can.
Thanks! Good tip.
"But in the Latin alphabet Jehovah is spelled with an I" - Professor Henry Jones - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
ah that probably explains the spelling!
Thanks for your words on SKY TEAM !
You don’t go to church and you don’t drink - what DO you do?
Oh, wait - you play board games! - thanks for another great episode!
Board games babayyyyyy
Check out “World Wonders”, it’ll be at GenCon23. Here in Brazil we’re very excited about this one
Ooooh copy that we’ll put it on our list! And hello to Brazil!
Ierusalem: Anno Domini is an interesting switch up since there are lots of games featuring devils, demons, and evil but not a ton focused on belief (my personal feelings about blind faith aside). I'm not a Christian or believer of any sort (Atheist here) but I appreciate a designer trying something different. Plus it's interesting to see a game themed around disciples of Jesus that doesn't look...well...terrible.
I’ll sure miss you guys.
Awwww bummed you won’t be there. We’ll miss you for sure Sheraaaaaahhhhl
9:58 Did they just call PT Cruisers, "ass"?
I don’t believe so but honestly knowing us, maybe
I thought it was known by now that Dave is always the traitor
Facts!
Inside Job sows paranoia. Sounds perfect.
Perrrrrfect
Distilled is great but for me is too much money for casual game.
✈WOW ❣
Number 1 baby!!!
@@TheBrothersMurph Haha. We definitely have a great mind behind this great game! #LucRémond
FINALLY SOMEONE IS HYPING SKY TEAM
Right!?!? It feels like no one is talking about it
Amen! I saw it and immediately was like dude that looks phenomenal, and then NOBODY has been talking about it. I’m like “does it suck or something?” So glad it’s getting attention!
I"M FIRST AGAIN! I'm gonna miss Gen Con this year. Booo....
First!
Over heard of only two of these games. Seems like a meh year in terms of games.
Seems like a good year to us
@@TheBrothersMurph I think the biggest game I’m interested in is the Terra mystica sequel.
You guys have interesting videos but my god you talk over each other constantly, like let the dude finish what he was saying lol
30 years of being brothers, this is one of the negatives lol
Jerusalem… Meh. Save your money
what didn't you like about the game?
