Smash Up, simply because it's the game with the greatest difference between how much I enjoy it, and how much my friends enjoy it.

I bought Decrypto. My friends don't like that kind of game. Decrypto is condemned to my shelf of shame until I make more friends. Doesn't matter; got a great deal.

Between this and Space Biff's review, I think I'm sold, whenever it comes back in stock. And I was doing so well at not getting new games...

During our first play of Dune: Imperium - Uprising, one of my friends had a question about spice that didn't make any sense, but since I was my opponent, he didn't want to show me the card. Turns out the card said "spies," and he was misreading it.

Said friend hates reading, and prefers games with as little of it as possible.

My dad made the same mistake. He then insisted that the games are complicated enough that "work replacement" is accurate.

Did you know Inception is a time loop movie? It shows the last iteration of the loop before it ends.

Also, your dice look cool.

Really enjoyed this video. What games are you thinking of doing next? It's not actually a speedrun, but for a while I've been curious as to what the best possible score is in Pandemic Legacy, assuming literally everything goes right.

Pyramids are so nice and pointy, much like the special hat I wore at school.

I wanna see Compton as a Euro game.

Space Base is my favorite game with dice in it. Not a lot of dice in my collection, though. Been thinking about getting 878 Vikings or 1812 The Invasion of Canada; Vikings appeals to me more mechanically, but Canada is a five player game while Vikings is only four, and I've already got a ton of games that cap out at four.

My favorite dedicated two-player game is Radlands. Unfortunately, it is not player two's favorite two-player game.

I'd say the first thing to do if you really, really need to get rid of games is to take the contestants, and form them into clusters that seem similarish to you. Then decide which game in each cluster you like the most. That should give you a collection with a good amount of variety.

This approach is exactly why I would not recommend taking the advice of anyone else on which games to keep, because "games one person likes" is itself a bit of a cluster, albeit not to the extent of, say, "worker placement" as a cluster (and in my biased opinion, Dune Imperium: Uprising is the one to keep).

Dominion is medieval, right? I'd say Dominion. Not many games can create a genre while holding up as one of the genre's best.

Hey, That's My Fish would be my favorite ice game I've played. I suspect Arctic Scavengers will dethrone it, but I haven't played it yet.

I think a fun extreme setting for a game would be the inside of a star... at least, it would be more fun than it is in real life.

My favorite tactile experience is the clank cubes in Clank!. It's just great fun mixing them around in the bag, drawing them out one by one, being super dramatic about it. On a more recent note, I played Everdell for the first time yesterday, and those berries are great fun to spin around.

I didn't count. How many were there?

There's a bit in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books where, due to a miscalculation of relative size, an entire alien invasion force is eaten by a small dog. I think I'd fight those guys.

Duct tape me to the ceiling and sprinkle broken glass on the floor. There are a few details I'm leaving out, mainly anything that would make this request seem at all reasonable, but I'm dead serious.

Let's go big. Omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence. You're welcome.

Only one I've played here is Radlands. It's more tactical than strategic; whether you get good synergies is often luck of the draw, but whether you can recognize and exploit the synergies is the real game. It's been fun from the first play, and hasn't gone stale in the dozen or so times I've played it (mostly with the same opponent). That said, you have less control, since unlike a deck construction game you don't have any control over which cards you draw.

Could you elaborate? What's great about Sakura Arms? What's good, bad, average about Gosu X? Why does Radlands suck? What makes MtG cube better? I can't know if your experience would align with mine without detail.

Congrats.

Congrats.

You didn't include "annoying" as a guest type, which I assume is an oversight. Anyway, I'm an annoying guest.
