You two are awesome and I love your tutorial videos. When I'm looking to learn games if Rodney Smith, Paul Grogan or yourselves have a video on it I know learning it will be much easier. Thanks for all you do for the hobby.
🙏OMG thank you so much!! It's an honour to be compared to those brilliant folks! Our pleasure, and thanks for all your help and support!
great to hear your thoughts. happy new year! that shirt is hilarious, Stella :)
Happy new year! Thanks for the visit 🙏 Hahaha yes the idea originally come from our live playthrough viewers (the tshirt)
Thank you for making this list. There are so many games out there. I always appreciate additional information when deciding which ones to add to my collection!
Thank you for visiting us🙏 So many games so little time. Yes we need to justify our selections heheh
Great choices! I think the best thing about this channel is how different you two are!
🙏🙏🙏 Aww thank you so much! We are two different type of peeps hehe. Hope you have a great day!
Stella.
Thanks again Stella and Tarrant. Happy New year to you both!!
🙏 THank you so much! Happy new year!
I've been looking forward to this. I've very much enjoyed your videos since finding your channel. A couple new games for me to check out. Goblin Vaults I've never heard of, but I like to have some good smaller card games around. I'll be watching you in 2024. Thanks for your efforts, knowledge, and enthusiasm.
🙏 Thank you so much for keep visiting us John, always a pleasure to see you here! Hope you have a great 2024, cheers to more gaming! hehe
You make me want to buy those games haha, great review Stella and Tarrant. Happy new year, may your games be great this year also
Oops hope that's not a bad thing hahaha. Thanks so much happy new year Kaira
Your video, as always, was super fun to watch. Stella, I love The Magnificent Seven, and had to watch it again because of your singing. Thank you, and cheers!
Hi Greg, 👋 thanks so much! And you've solved the mystery of the song in my head everytime I associate it with western/cowboy!!! Thank youuuuu
Thanks and happy NY!🎉
OH wow thanks so much for the tips! Happy new year to you too!
Thanks for putting this list together and going through your reasons for each game. Not many crossovers with mine, but most of the games on your list I haven't played :)
Thank you Paul! Now it's time to check other creators list now that we've done ours!
this is the first ive seen or heard of fabled - thank y'all =)
Yaaay hope you'll give it a go!😁
I really enjoyed your list! So many games I would love to play! 😀 I have been away from the hobby more or less all of 2023 so I’ve watched different channels’ top lists over games from 2023 and luckily enough was able to try Evacuation, which has been mentioned by many gamers, often very high on their lists. I really, really enjoyed it (points mode)! I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your Evacuation tutorial, it’s really great! ❤️
Oooooooh welcome back to the hobby, excited to see you come back! No pressure, but hope you find it joyful again! Thank you so much, glad to hear the tutorial is useful. Now please enjoy your gamesssss! 🙏🙏🙏😄😄
Thank you Stella & Tarrant. What another great upload! Helped me consider some future gifts 😁
🙏 Thanks for the visit! Yaaay hope you'll play and enjoy some of the gmaes!
Great video! lots of games I haven't heard of! I would you guys do a top 10 best abstract and best 2 player games!
That's on the book eeeek. Will need to work on it! Thanks for the suggestion
Thanks very much for presenting all these lovely games to us. My no.1 is Age of Innovation. I'm a huge Terra Mystica and Gaia Project fan, so this one was a foregone conclusion. I wish both of you a very Happy New Year.
It's a wonderful game I heard that we haven't played yet eeek. Will play it at some point, we do like our Terra Mystica, Terra Nova and Gaia too. Our friend said it's very similar to Terra Mystica? Happy new year!!
@@MeepleUniversity It is a Terra Mystica game with lots of new twists. Firstly it's completely modular. You have separate terrain types with their unique bonuses, then you add a faction with its unique bonuses and when you build a Palace (TM Stronghold) you choose one of the available bonuses. This way, you end up with a combo of these three thus creating a one-of-a-kind experience. There is also an added layer in the form of the innovations, which does not make the game unnecessarily complicated, but provides additional paths to victory. Due to the pandemic, the game was delayed, but the testing and refining went on and they ended up with a finely tuned engine whose purr is a delight!
Sounds good @@da1otta , thank you for sharing thta with us and here! I believe you! :)
Age of Innovation is basically terra mystica on steroids as someone told when they released it. Really nice to play but i still opt for my Terra Mystica with the fan factions expansions which might be released at some point...
@@sensational304 Have you considered making those fan factions yourself? You print out the faction boards on adhesive paper and stick them to 2mm greyboard. That's how I prototyped Gaia Project when I was playtesting it.
Thanks a lot!!!
We love your games Daniiiiiii!🙏
@@MeepleUniversity That's great to hear! I hope the trend continues next year :D
@@DaniGarcia_BoardGames Looking forward for your next games! We already have our eyes on some of them in 2024 ;P
Thanks for the list. I had not heard of Path of Civilization. So thanks for the reveal. Also love the shirt "What Would Tarrant Do?" Another well done video. Have you played Ransom Notes? It is a party game ,but would love to watch you guys play it.
Hi Andrew, thanks for the visit! The reveal hehe. Path is a quick Civ gain, light to medium complexity. Hehe the tshirt was inspired and encouraged by the board games community via our live playthrough weekends (we do live play with giveaway almost every weekend). Ransom Notes, not yet, sounds like we need to? Cant BGG that right now as the site is down lo. :)
Great video guys. It's a very original list. I'll take a look at the new version of "The Mind", "Tiwanaku" and "Orion duel". I thought "Pirates of Maracaibo" would make it into Stella's list though.
Edit: Stella, Nucleum is my most expected game to play from your list. I'll get my copy soon. I can't wait to play that one
Thank you for visiting us🙏. Hope you'll like those games. Pirates, amongst many other great games I can't pick it unfortunately... so many great great games in 2023! Nucleum, hope you like it!!!! Excited for you 🙏
This was great, thank you! Kutna Hora is such a lovely-looking game. Wow, Age of Heroes sounds awesome. I love Lords of Waterdeep and this seems even better. Oooo, I need to check out Arborea, it sounds so good!
p.s. do you have an opinion on which GWT plays better at two-player?
Nucleum and GWT: New Zealand were number 2 and 3 for me, and Earth was 8 or 9. Such great games! Voidfall took my top spot by quite a bit. Hits on all cylinders for me.
Great games for sure! Haven't got a chance to play Voidfall! Must play that one at some point, sounds like you have similar taste as me ;P
Thanks so much!
Stella
Youhou! Tiwanaku and Maps of Misterra in the Top 20! Thank you!
Woooot congrats!!!
oh wow i thought i was the only one singing the praises of archeos society!
I think we had some similar taste - Codenames Duet, Rise, this, Seastead ;P
Now that we've done our top games video, I'll jump on everyone else's channel to check out the lists!
Thanks for the visit Richard 🙏
Great list. Leaving the name of the game and it’s rank on screen while you’re talking about them would be very helpful.
They literally have the game on the table in front of them the whole time they are talking about it... Just reach the title on the Box?
And their ratings are literally in the videos description so just have a look there.
Noted! 🙏
Seeing and meeting you at Gencon and Essen, where do you find the time for ~350 plays? Respect.
Great to see you!!! We play board games almost every day hahaha.
❤@@MeepleUniversity, as one should. LOL.
@@ChewieHuey Hope you get to play lots of games too, if that's what you want :)
first time i see earth and forest shuffle back n back together in any ranking ... nice ... i do like forest shuffle more too
😄 The more you play the better hehe. The two nature games are awesome! Thanks for the visit 🙏
Great western trail New Zealand looks like a pretty ship sheep game.
Bwahahhaha indeed!🙏
So glad to see the Witcher on your list!
Yesss! Such a fun game! I assume you enjoy it too? :)
👏
🙏🙏😁
Hello!
Hello!🙏
Liked 👍. Hello
Hello Keith! Thanks so much🙏
why buying diablo when u can have path of exile for free ... cmon stella ... u can do better 🤣🧡✌✌
Bwahahaah nooo I'm already stuck with Diablo 🤣. But wait, what is Path of Exile free? 😍
@@MeepleUniversity yes it was always free and its second game will come out soon :)
Fan of the channel but please tell Stella to gather her thoughts a little better because she is jumping around between thoughts way too much, she starts sentences and jumps into another one.
If you think Tarrant’s job is to control “the lady,” you are sadly mistaken. Stella, like all brilliant and creative minds, has a stream of thought that is beyond our limited comprehension.
Wasn't telling anyone to control anyone. Speaking to the channel as a whole. Productive feedback as a fan is valid and valuable.@@karadj4801
I strongly disagree I find Stella super entertaining to watch and is the main reason I always come back to the channel!
STELLA NEVER CHANGE! ❤❤❤
Stella here! Hahah yes my brain works in a funny way at (most) times lol. Thanks everyone for supporting!! 🙏
@@karadj4801 You are so kind, I'm pretty sure it's just me usually gets distracted easily and being hyperactive haha. Hope you have a great day!
