I always love your "Best Of" videos, because every time, without fail, you'll highlight a game or two that I had not heard of before that sounds fantastic! Thanks for all the work you put into them!
Thanks so much Grant! So stoked that Stool Pigeon made your "Best of GenCon" list!! We have been having a blast with this game and are so stoked to share it with such a fun gaming community! Thanks so much for all that you do for this community, you are awesome!!
Great video. Going to Essen Spiel again this year. Really like the way you have categories that are not solely focused on game mechanics but more abstract.
An absolute pleasure to hang out for a hot minute at GenCon, and of course, thanks for sharing Eila and Something Shiny on your list! And now I have plenty of other great games for me to check out!
Kelp looks really cool! I just signed up to be notified when the KS launches! Thanks for the awesome videos. Oh by the way you were awesome on the Dice Tower Awards!
Really liked seeing you at Dice Tower however short it was. One day when you get your special, hope there's a way to buy and stream it :D (in a long time after you've done all the conventions)
@@GrantLyon I'll drop my gameplay video tomorrow. 1. Turns were overly long (to be fair it was a 6 player game 2. A big win Con of the game is; if you die ...you can aid your silent partner in becoming the queen, but there aren't enough cards to aid your partner while you're alive. & it can be very difficult to die. 3. The game comes to a Scythe feeling conclusion at 11pm. ...nothing is played at midnight. 4. The on-rails buffs you get as the clock strikes certain hours could be handled by card comboing & tableau building. 5. There aren't enough negates for certain Overpowered actions (like the Queens' altered forms/familiars) & in my opinion there should be more negates for negates. But hey, these are likely expansion upgrades.
Great video, really looking forward for getting Eila. Best two player for me was Sky Team and biggest surprise Joyride. Kutna Hora for the best big box strategy.
I think the name for CDSK is a wink to the original version in French, named TTMC? (for Tu Te Mets Combien? = How would you rate yourself? It's not as catchy in English, HWYRY?, so I understand the choice they made) ; they revamped the design a bit, I find the colours are nicer in this edition! I'm really interested in Kelp and will certainly be following this project.
@GrantLyon it was in an NFL Stadium, right? If that was, then you were surrounded by stairs, all of which were looking down and laughing and scheming for your downfall. The home games of the Colts on TV will features shots of the stadium stairs discussing your downfall. 🥷

That's awesome to hear! I really appreciate it :)
Wow! We made two of your best! You were my biggest surprise of the Con! Thanks a lot. Hope we see each other next year!
Haha I'm glad I was a surprise for you! And yes, I hope we see each other again soon.
Good stuff. Bravo, sir.
Thank you!
Thanks for the Harvest shoutout! Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah it's really cool!

No problem! It's a really fun little game.

Thanks for liking the video! Have a great time at Essen!

Glad you liked my set on the Dice Tower Awards! My special will definitely be available to steam someday
I just love all your videos! Thank you for all the research that you do….😊
Thanks so much for saying that!
Great overview! It was great seeing you at the con! Once again, congrats on the news you shared with me! - Marty
Thanks buddy! It was great to see you too!
Great to see you at Gen Con! I'm pretty excited for 20 Strong too!
Always great to see you :)
Great video! I loved GenCon! I’ll definitely look into Harvest, Altered and Eila & Something Shiny. 😊🎉
Thank you! I'm glad you had a great time at Gen Con!
Thanks again for coming by our booth!
Great to see you!
Appreciate the concise rundown of Altered ...Kelp looks good too.
Queen by Midnight ...not my fav
No problem! Why didn't you like Queen by Midnight? I'm curious. It looks so great on the table but I don't know anyone who has played it yet

@@foyoGames that's interesting to hear! thanks!
@@GrantLyon no problemo
Hi Grant. Really enjoyed the categories that you chose and how you put this video together. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the structure of the video :)
I love that it’s such variety of games- I ordered Sushi Boat. I’ll look at some others!
Yeah I always like to include a variety so hopefully everyone finds something they are interested in!
Great video, really looking forward for getting Eila. Best two player for me was Sky Team and biggest surprise Joyride. Kutna Hora for the best big box strategy.
Oh I never saw Joyride so that's a surprise to me too! I'll need to look it up. Yeah I like Sky Team a lot as well :)
Couldn’t have said it better ❤ thanks for picking Kelp for your list!!
No problem! It's great!
Skyrockets sounds really cool, but I can't find the game on BGG yet, did it come out at GenCon? Would be nice if it is available at Essen.
No it's not out yet! Floodgate said they'll be putting a BGG page up later this month and it should release around the end of the year.
enjoyed this more than the other "here are the 100 games i bought at gencon" videos that just came out
Thank you! I appreciate that
Great stuff here Grant! Like you found some games that may not get the spotlight. :-D
Thanks buddy! Yeah I try to highlight some of the smaller games too :)

Oh that's interesting to hear about CDSK. Thanks for the background!
Yeah. Kelp seems legit. And yeah, was curious about Altered. Very cool you got to check it out!
Thank you!
Watched eagerly to see if any references involving convention stairs were made.
Tired of Covid, people look to gather.
Haha thankfully Gen Con doesn't have as many stairs
