Again I only have experience with one. We really enjoy Cottage Garden but the theme for Barenpark is really cool. Now with Indian Summer and it's beautiful art I have no clue what to get. Another great video!
Just stumbled upon your channel thanks to this video and love it, its like getting two reviews for the price of one! Also, anyone who has the Dark Tower series on the bookshelf in the background gets my vote. Great work, thank you!
Great stuff chaps, I would have bet on Cottage Garden, and although that is the only one of the two I own, I'm not convinced there is enough in it for me to take the bear-plunge.
it blows my mind that you seem to get missing this, cottage garden is a race, there are only so many tiles ppl want, and you dont want some one elses leftovers. if some one does not want a tile, well then you dont want it either. as the game goes on there are less and less of the tiles you want. it is one of the best parts ofthe game when you get a tile and some one goes, what! but i really wanted that tile, and then you can smile and say oh yes i wanted it too. :)
I thought Cottage Garden was going to grab it, Barenpark gives you too much choice, a well played tile can net you 2 or 3 tiles into your supply, and you can horde large point scorers too from your opponents. In the games I have played the scores in Barenpark have been very close as each player seems to get the same distribution of tiles, the achievements are similar. For me it comes down to player count, Cottage Garden is great 4 player, OK at 3 and I'd rather play Patchwork with 2. Barenpark seems to best with 3, I would play Barenpark again but probably if we had 3 players (and a copy of the game), 4 Players give me Cottage Garden or dare I say it Indian Summer (a very nice race game) Great format too.
you guys are fun, totally different look on board games which can definitely help many with decisions
Quite amusing. Wouldn’t mind cottaging with these chaps.

Thanks Chris! Really glad you enjoyed it!
Another hilarious episode! I love the theme of Barenpark, and I'm sure Al would love that too - he loves bears.
Thanks Gregg! More bears = good, always (unless they're Koala bears)

Thanks Rory! Yeah, there's really little reason to own both, especially when you're enjoying Cottage Garden already.
I just discovered your channel and I really like it!
That's great! Thank you, and welcome to the channel!
My cat just freaked out at 3:35 - haha, great episode!
Great video, you guys one of the best reviewers of board games
Thanks! :D Really means a lot to get such positive feedback!
I love barenpark, my wife got it for me for my birthday!
Nice! An excellent gift! :D
Another great one guys! But I agree. Patchwork wins!
Thanks Wan! I'm not sure even I can bring myself to choose between Patchwork and A Feast For Odin though...
Excellent video with some more interesting German pronunciations. Two interesting games, shrubberies vs a koala's...

"Simply just grab some bush"
I am more interested in Spring Meadow...
Huzzah Barenpark! Not sure I agree with all the koala hate though, it's not their fault humans named them wrong!
Lol true. We don't hate koalas. Only their incorrect inclusion in a bear park :p
This is exactly what I wanted to know. Sub

Great format too.
cottage has way more depth to it easy pick for me bearpark looks boring and pointless
Everyone tries to be comedians . Not funny just explain the game please. Good grief.
