Great list. I have all Space Empires 4X on P500 order with the new upcoming expansion. Looking forward to your content on this since there is very little recent and quality content.
@@ezbgames yes sir! It's called All Good Things and should print/ship in Q1 2025 according to the lates GMT update. Also if you have not yet pulled out the existing Replicators expansion, it includes full art hex tiles. So if you explore a meteor sector, for example, once you reveal the little meteor counter you replace it by a full hex tile with matching art. Really improves the table presence on this game.
Looking forward to the final stage of the CoH 2E journey of getting it into backers hands. I really appreciate everyone's patience, and hope everyone will enjoy it for many years to come!
Yeah, i had to cancel my all in pledge with a baby on the way last year. Support said i couldn't get it back :(. Will have to try for the webstore on release.
Great list! Mostly because I have only played your #1. I haven't played it enough to get a good feeling for where I'd rank it, but I absolutely loved what I did experience. I'm really interested in the others, too. Hopefully I'll get a chance to play some of them at some point.
love your enthusiasm! and, may I say, your english is great for a french native speaker.. ;) really need to try out some of your top 7 games, as I have only played number #1 and #3 so far.. :D damn, I need to get Trickerion to the table soon (haven't played my copy yet, sadly!)
First of all, thank you! 😊 I think you won't feel like you've wasted your time if you table Trickerion.. I think it will bring all of those good feelings that you had the last time you played. And I'm also glad you played War of the Ring!! 🤩 Which game intrigued you the most on my list?
Try to see if you can get a copy of Dark Ages for a decent price first. Clash of Cultures is on retail so shouldn't be a problem there in the future. And it doesn't matter for Dark Ages which box you'll get. Whatever is cheaper- Holy Roman Empire or Heritage of Charlemagne. I bought the first one for about 90€ 2nd hand and the other for 75€ new in shrink. Keep me posted please 😊
Haha right?? I mean, I could have found 3 more games to put there, but I really wanted to bring only the best games that I played a lot this passing year. So I thought it would be fair to do only 7
Great list! What is the setup time for Company of Hero's & Trickerion? Looking at those 2 games to pick up soon since Unconscious Mind doesn't release until February. Happy Holidays & congratulations on the channel's 2 year anniversary! It's great!
For Company of Heroes you're looking at 15 minutes maximum. With the trays it is super fast. For Trickerion I'd say about 20 minutes because of the different cards. But nothing too crazy.. Thank you so much for watching the video and commenting ❤️❤️ Merry Christmas
If you don't intend to play solo mode, core game is definitely enough. For 2 players, I recommend adding Dahlgaard's Gifts expansion (it's a small one that is not expensive)
@ezbgames thanks ! Im sorry one more question 🙏 just saw its a programming game but i hate programming (like colt express, rally robot and even black rose wars rebirth).. i hate how tied up you are once you have programmed your actions... do you think i can still enjoy that game ?
Haha if you hate the core mechanism of the game? I can't really say.. probably you won't? The thing here is that you will be able to do all the actions you want, but depends how 'strong' they will be. I say it in general because there are some small exceptions.
@@ezbgames ok its not as bad as some programming games where sometimes you programmed actions become usuless or worst..will have to try ! Thanks for you replys merry christmas haha
I am actually pleasantly surprised that a 2015 games remains your favorites. This is not only a testament to the game itself, but also encourages player (like myself) to no necessarily fomo or follow the cult of the new. You got me intrigued in Trickerion, but the 60-180min play time and 4.25 weight on BGG tempers my curiosity at the moment. How difficult is it to table the game after non playing it for a while?
To be honest, the more time passes, the more I'm afraid/realizing that we might not see good games as we've seen before. For me, the excellent games are very VERY rare these days
I think that after the setup it will come back to you 😊 I'll be happy to do an overview and a quick round via TTS to freshen your memory. Let me know 🤩
To be honest I never understood so much why people say it's such a long game. From my experience it's around 1 hour orn1 hour and 15 minutes per player. Not so bad 😊
@@ezbgames For me is. Longer the time playing, longer the experience. Which supposed to be a good experience right? I almost convinced to get a copy and look for the chance to played and create a hype among my friends!
I think we're the same.. if the game is good I want to take my time and enjoy the longer experience (up to a limit of course haha) I really suggest to try and get a copy
Absolutely agree. I've never played Oath, but I always wanted to. The thing is that I've heard it's good during a few games with the same group. So that kind of prevented me from buying it.
Space Empires 4x is amazing and I agree 100% with your take about the secret "upkeep/technologies", it's very easy to break the game if someone makes a mistake and start to steam everyone with that 🤣 Finally got the Dark Ages! 😁 Now I need to play it and seeing your feedback about the solo mode makes me curious to try it solo My top3 games this year are Arcs, Andromeda's Edge and Shackleton Base Merry Christmas my friend!
Yayyy!!! You got Dark Ages! I'll trynto produce a solo mode video as well for this.. Arcs is great! Played it about 5-6 times this year and I love it. It might be on my list next year :) Andromeda's Edge I will try this weekend. Merry Christmas brother ❤️❤️
The fact that you're so confident scares me and makes me want to table SWR ad soon as possible!! 🤣🤣 I just have to play it.. Let me know if you get one of the games and what did you think of it.. Merry Christmas my friend 😊❤️
They have.. Don't get me wrong, I still think they're amazing! But I wanted to choose the games that hit my table the most. Both Uprising and Voidfall I've played maybe once or twice. Doesn't really fit for the top games list, you know what I mean? I just felt that this list would be more honest that way 😊
What didn't you like in Space Empires 4X? Fractal is a game that I have to bring again to the table to try it again to see if it stays in my collection, or not
I couldn't help notice the Inferno copy on your desk. Looking forward to your thought on the game.
You have the eyes of an eagle 😊😊
My next video will be a playthrough and then a review :)
Solid top 7 my friend. Love that you put Dark Ages in there.
Thank you!
Yeah I couldn't really do otherwise.. the game is too good and I have played it so many times 😊
Great list. I have all Space Empires 4X on P500 order with the new upcoming expansion. Looking forward to your content on this since there is very little recent and quality content.
I will 100% cover this game with a playthrough and a review.
A new expansion?? Oh man.. I should check it out for sure

You're killing me!!!
Okay I'm on it 🫡
Looking forward to the final stage of the CoH 2E journey of getting it into backers hands. I really appreciate everyone's patience, and hope everyone will enjoy it for many years to come!
I'm sure they will 😊
Yeah, i had to cancel my all in pledge with a baby on the way last year. Support said i couldn't get it back :(. Will have to try for the webstore on release.
To be honest I got my 1st edition in the 2nd hand market.
I'm sure those will turn up after fulfillment.
Great list! Mostly because I have only played your #1. I haven't played it enough to get a good feeling for where I'd rank it, but I absolutely loved what I did experience. I'm really interested in the others, too. Hopefully I'll get a chance to play some of them at some point.
So glad you liked it 😊
Yeah for sure, please keep me updated if you got to play some of the others, and I'll be more than happy to teach via TTS

And I'm also glad you played War of the Ring!! 🤩
Which game intrigued you the most on my list?
@@ezbgamesprobably both, clash of cultures and dark ages! 😁🫣
Try to see if you can get a copy of Dark Ages for a decent price first. Clash of Cultures is on retail so shouldn't be a problem there in the future.
And it doesn't matter for Dark Ages which box you'll get. Whatever is cheaper- Holy Roman Empire or Heritage of Charlemagne. I bought the first one for about 90€ 2nd hand and the other for 75€ new in shrink.

Can't wait to try those !
We will for sure!!
Top 7! Way to break the mold
Haha right??

Happy Channel Anniversary and Happy Holidays! ❤
We need to play you #1 and #4 together please! And then Voidfall hahahah
Merry Christmas buddy! 🥰❤️
Done, done and... done! 🤣

@ezbgames Merry Christmas Boss!
So glad Space Empires made it on your list! Such a great game.
I definitely owe it to you and to Richard.
I will cover this game with a few videos when I'll reunite with my collection 😅
Any must have/ recommanded expansion for Trickerion ? Or core game enough on its own ?
If you don't intend to play solo mode, core game is definitely enough.
For 2 players, I recommend adding Dahlgaard's Gifts expansion (it's a small one that is not expensive)

Pagan is such and amazing game! I couldn’t imagine seeing CoC in your top considering that’s not an easy game to play in terms of time.
To be honest I never understood so much why people say it's such a long game.
From my experience it's around 1 hour orn1 hour and 15 minutes per player.
Not so bad 😊

@@ezbgames We have spent almost four hours learning / playing Oath, I can't see anything bad with that!!
And yes. I will!!
Absolutely agree. I've never played Oath, but I always wanted to. The thing is that I've heard it's good during a few games with the same group. So that kind of prevented me from buying it.
YEAHHHHHHH ASSAFFFF THE BEST
tHX AND Happy hannouka
Ma poule!!
Merci frerot et joyeux Hannouka ❤️
Your list is 3000% more thematic than mine. I've only played your top game, and it's near the top for me as well.
Trickerion is such an awesome game indeed..
What games are on your top list? 🤩
Space Empires 4x is amazing and I agree 100% with your take about the secret "upkeep/technologies", it's very easy to break the game if someone makes a mistake and start to steam everyone with that 🤣
Finally got the Dark Ages! 😁 Now I need to play it and seeing your feedback about the solo mode makes me curious to try it solo
My top3 games this year are Arcs, Andromeda's Edge and Shackleton Base
Merry Christmas my friend!
Yayyy!!! You got Dark Ages!
I'll trynto produce a solo mode video as well for this..
Arcs is great! Played it about 5-6 times this year and I love it. It might be on my list next year :)
Andromeda's Edge I will try this weekend.
Merry Christmas brother ❤️❤️
Trickerion beurk beurk :p (but nice top ! )
🤣🤣🤣 yeah it's not for you 😅
But the rest I know you like!
Did you try Soace Empires 4X?
Expansion for Clash of Cultures is in the works, maybe out late 2025?
You're killing me now... 🤯🤯🤯
WOTR will have to be replaced by SWR one day for sure 😂 Havent played most games on the list will have to get on with it !
The fact that you're so confident scares me and makes me want to table SWR ad soon as possible!! 🤣🤣 I just have to play it..
Let me know if you get one of the games and what did you think of it..
Merry Christmas my friend 😊❤️
@@ezbgamesThanks you too :)
Trickerion est pour moi aussi
le Jeu des Jeux Forever !!!!!
Tu me manques frerot ❤️❤️❤️
Original list!
I'll take it as a compliment 😊😊
Oh wow Uprising and Voidfall fell off the list this year 😮
They have..
Don't get me wrong, I still think they're amazing!
But I wanted to choose the games that hit my table the most.
Both Uprising and Voidfall I've played maybe once or twice. Doesn't really fit for the top games list, you know what I mean?
I just felt that this list would be more honest that way 😊
space empire 4X got it and resold immediately! Imo most underrated game "fractal beyond the void".
What didn't you like in Space Empires 4X?
Fractal is a game that I have to bring again to the table to try it again to see if it stays in my collection, or not
