My 5 out of 5's in 2026 So Far - It's Been A Good Year!

  I nearly never comment on videos but I have to say, this type of video where you rehash your highest rated games from last year and the best so far this year is exactly the kind of video that is relevant and useful to a casual board gamer like myself who doesn't always keep their finger on the pulse of the hobby. Sometimes I just need a quick way to become aware of a handful of excellent games that have come out within the past year and this video meets that need for me (though I would prefer more games I can actually buy and play right now). Keep up the good work.

  You are doing a great job my friend.  Appreciate your reviews and thoughts, due to the depth and consideration of the smaller points

  Would love to see your pure solo videos! It&apos;s really good to have a few of those for travels or when the family calls it a night, and you still want to game :)

  it&apos;s funny that he forgot the name of &quot;Revive&quot; while he was holding the box for &quot;Recall&quot;... recall issues. &lt;3

  Could you do one where retail copies actually exist. At least half of these are kickstarters that havent fulfilled yet.

  Hi Alex. You are one of the the few reviewers I consistently pay attention to so thank you. However I can&apos;t parse your play numbers! My mental mathematics puts your daily plays at up to 5 a day or more. Interested to understand how you get through so many. All in-person with a group? Use BGA?

  Do you think (after playing the two) that Let&apos;s Go to Japan can get an expansion that gives it the improvements that the France version got?

  Last year&apos;s 5 out of 5: Shacklton Base! It&apos;s on my shelf!!! &nbsp;I&apos;ll have to check out Pirates of Maricabo. &nbsp;And... you got to play Brass Pittsburg??? YOU LUCKY DOG! &nbsp;Brass Birmingham is SO GOOD. SO SO SO GOOD. I can&apos;t wait to try this new one!! Druids! &nbsp;I want to try it! &nbsp;And Castle&apos;s of Burgundy is so good, so this is great to hear and I&apos;m going to go buy it (Druids) right now!!! &nbsp;Great Video Alex! &nbsp;Love it! &nbsp;Do you have a video of anticipated games for the rest of the year?

  Really need to look more in to Confusing Lands with how much it&apos;s brought up.
