Top 10 Games We Played in 2023

Let us know what we are snoozing on! What are your favorite games you played last year?

I've been banging the drum for Fields of Arle for a long time. Glad you like it so much!

Some of my fav games I’d love to see you two play in 2024, hopefully at least one lol:
-Concordia
-Power Grid
-Viticulture
-Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island

My Top 10 new-to-me games in 2023:
Archduke
Hooky
That's Not A Hat
Smartphone Inc.
Startups
Root
Stay Cool
Watergate
Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition.

Great list! We're publishing Nana in the US now as Trio.

Happy NY2U as well!
New to me games included Forest Shuffle, Vaalbara and Lyngk (most recent of the GIPF series, although somewhat old).

Why are you guys so blurry?!!

that peanuts sweater 🩷

Cool list, The White Castle is definitely on my radar now. I knew of the hype but was not sold on the game but you might have convinced me. Some "new" games to me in 2023 were Raiders of Scythia, Legacy of Yu, Escape the Dark Castle (+ some others) and the most important board game in my life so far... Spirit Island. You have contributed to my decision to get it in April 2023 and I am now about 1000 solo games in. It opened my eyes to solo and co-op gaming like nothing else. I am obsessed with this game. So thank you and good luck in the new year!

Really intrigued by the art and play of Nana, any idea where to get the set from?

Happy New Year ;-)
Thank you for your excellent videos.
That's my ranking of the games I played for the first time in 2023.
1. Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory
2. World Wonders
3. Woodcraft
4. Say my name
5. Wayfarers of the South Tigris
6. Klask
7. Fantastic Factories
8. Villagers
9. Sabika
10. Winter

You guys are lovely. Great channel. Informative and helpful. All the best for 2024. All the best everyone.

Zoo Vadis might be my favorite of the year. Hopefully it will end up being Sleeping Gods:DS or Septima, but have yet to play either... with others 😥

Inheritors seem so neat! Never heard of it - can't wait to pick it up.

Interested to see what you think about Evacuation. Seems I've heard both good and not so good about it. (Also, yay for Anachrony!)

My best experience was with Revive & Wingspan Asia and lately Apiary!

Anyone else notice the sky team box art looks like Naveen and Monique?

I'm super interested in the expansion to anachrony, it always seemed like a difficult teach and I have the mech expansion and more than "cool" factor it intimidates, lol.

Some of my favorites last year were Expeditions, Sky Team, and A Feast for Odin (new to me)! Didn’t really get a lot of 2023 games but I really want to try Fox Experiment.

I just realize the game release in Brazil, called "TRIO" (which means a group of 3) is literally a copy of the "NaNa" game. :O LOL

Happy New Year guys🎉❤

Fantastic list of games as always! SO pumped you've included Sky Team!

Fields of Arle 🙌 great list

Hadrians wall was new to me this year and I realy liked it. It is my most played game of the year.

They put Nana on number 7. Coincidence or...? 🧐

Take the “0” away from “10” for inheritors and you get it’s rightful place…#1

Happy New Year to the two of you as well! You guys are the best and I look forward to another year of great content from you. 🖤

My favorite new to me games
1. Ark nova with marine world expansion
2. Lacrimosa
3. bunny kingdom
4. High society
5 red cathedral
6. Airlines Europe
7. Foundations of Rome

You guys look like the characters on the Sky Team box, you should cosplay it!

Have you tried Voidfall and Hegemony? They seem to be the type of game that you guys would enjoy!

What is you guys' opinion on spottlers games? Not see them much on this channel. Do some elements on those game not clicking your taste?

Just want to say that your micing always sounds great!

YAY!!! Thanks for the shout out! I’m so glad you got some laughter and joy out of Nana! It’s truly a great game that keeps on giving!

Happy new year btw you two lovely souls! I was really surprised Fields of Arle appeared in your list, although thinking about it you guys really loved A Feast for Odin, so I guess I'm not exactly surprised now 😅. I'm still looking for a copy of Nana, and now a Christmas version! This is an interesting list especially the Ceasar and White Castle ones.

Edit: Going to be putting my full attention on the Tea and Trade expansion for Fields of Arle! Been waiting for that for a loooong time.

Have you guys played Art Society? If so, what are your thoughts?

I want that nana Christmas edition

I literally just ordered my Tea & Trade expansion for Fields of Arle after waiting (and creeping in the BGG forums) for what feels like an age for it come come back into print (along with the Folded Space insert for it all, lol!)
I can’t wait to get it tabled!! 🐑

The White Castle was one of our favorite games for sure! Such a tight game experience!

Do you guys have a play through for doomlings?

No doubt, Maple Valley. Brought by the same people who designed, illustrated, and published Creature Comforts, but the gameplay is way different than its predecessor.

Discovered Caesar! from you guys, and yeah, it's great.

omg so many games to look for...great video. have you try the new dune imperium uprising ?

Fields of Arle is so good. I was inspired to play then buy it thanks to y’all’s playthrough. Easily the best 2p Euro game I’ve played and an easy recommendation when people ask which Uwe games to play at that count (along with All Creatures Big & Small of course!) and which Euro games are best at two player more generally.

The day of New Year for friends and family, and the first business day of the New Year for coworkers, is the only day it's appropriate to say "Happy New Year".

It's like Happy Birthday. Friends and family can tell me Happy Birthday on the day of, coworkers on Monday (if it fell on a weekend). Two weeks later, saying Happy Birthday is no longer necessary nor appropriate. All "New Year" is, is a Birthday for the calendar.

I'm willing to die on this hill.....there is no point in trying to change my mind.

Looking forward to the next year of BYP! And I’m glad I could reintroduce you to Tiwanaku! Great game!

love the Peanuts shirt--and "to live is to dance" is absolutely correct. Happy 2024 to you both, to Dexter, and to everyone whom you love

The oranienburger kanal has had my interest for the whole 2023 ! Unfortunately it is nowhere to become in the Netherlands 😢😢

Happy New Year thanks for your 2023 vids and looking forward to your 2024 vids. I totally want to play Anachrony and expansions!
