    Let us know what we are snoozing on! What are your favorite games you played last year?
  • @branboom3342
    Lol Monique's enthusiastic wave cracks me up everytime 😸
  • I like the idea of doing the new-to-me list and not just the 2023 releases. I discovered some of my all-time favourites this past year and not all were 2023 releases. Anachrony is one of my favourite games but I haven't played the Fractures of Time expansion, yet! You're inspiring me to make that happen this year. My top ten new-to-me would be: 10. Lost Ruins of Arnak (2020) 9. 3 Ring Circus (2023) 8. Terracotta Army (2022) 7. Scholars of the South Tigris (2023) 6. The White Castle (2023) 5. Obsession (2018) 4. Sabika (2022) 3. Nucleum (2023) 2. Voidfall (2023) 1. Wayfarers of the South Tigris (2022)

    Nana is the japanese, "Trio" by Cocktail Games is the european version, available since one year ago in France, and elsewhere. Number one in games sold in France.
  • @CardboardEast
    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!
  • @njpope4755
    Loved your list! The White Castle is probably my favorite from your list. I also really enjoyed Septima and Uve Rosenberg’s Atiwa.
  • @chiproush7480
    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
  • @draheim90
    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.
  • Happy New Year thanks for your 2023 vids and looking forward to your 2024 vids. I totally want to play Anachrony and expansions!
  • @e.vasileva5891
    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!

    That's not a Hat is awesome! I played it with my family on Christmas. After couple glasses of wine it was just craziness. I had Apiary and The White Castle on my Christmas list. I got the Apiary, which is great too but I'm defiantly getting the White Castle myself.
  • @jojog3681
    I bought Inheritors on a whim, completely based on your original recommendation of it on your channel and I really enjoy it. Thanks for the great reco!
  • 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 two are just too lovely I had to subscribe! I hope to keep discovering new games from you guys and seeing the channel continue to grow. Ps my first video I watched was your Flamecraft playthrough as it helped me understanding the game much more. Ty so much!
  • @xbxpro
    I've really enjoyed Sky Team this year. So many scenarios for such a small box and low price.
  • @ellaybee77
    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. 🖤
  • @lukepickles5099
    Looking forward to the next year of BYP! And I’m glad I could reintroduce you to Tiwanaku! Great game!
  • @shortydancer
    Yo you guys almost match the people on the Sky Team box!
  • @gcanceko
    So glad that Caesar! made it onto the list! I loved that video and that series. We ended up getting Dogfight! to join our Blitzkrieg! and we love it! My other favorite new to me in 2023 include the Get On Board: New York and London, Clank! Catacombs, and Fox in the Forest.
