1. very good video.

2. Definitely interested in Dwellings……now I just have to find it. Great video!!

3. Man I'm so glad YouTube pointed me to this video. The editing of this video is so amazing, love it. I consider myself board game fan, interestingly I did not know about half of the list. So I'm looking forward to search through your videos to discover more hidden gems and enjoy the mindblowing presentation. Also the subscribers vs. viewers statistic did not feel right, joining your army! Keep up the great work!

4. I picked up a final copy of the legendary KS dwellings of eldervale from a local store after an intense recommendation from a friend. I enjoy the one game of their copy i played, but after hearing your description i want to get deeper into it!

   Also, I have never seen your channel until today despite watching board gaming channels very regularly, but I have to say your video quality is insane. this is the first video of yours I've seen, but it was super informative and really fun to watch, so I subbed! I'm going to see what other videos you have ^^

5. Love Kemet – but since you have that pillar of the "Matagot Holy Trinity" on this, I have to recommend Inis. It's my absolute favorite game and is IMO much better than Kemet! It captures most qualities of a 4x game while being elegant, deep, fast, easy to learn, and fun – all while having a bunch of truly unique mechanics. The production value is top-notch to boot. Give Inis a try, I bet it'll replace Kemet on your list once you do 😄

6. Most of what you like matches my tastes and my man….. Tapple!? You are not alone, that is a great party game.

7. Aquatica – Russians go ahead!!!

8. This is a top-tier video. I cannot believe I did not find this channel earlier. A small thing is that the volume on the cinematics for the various games is a tad loud. I love the fresh energy that it injects, and I think a 10% decrease in volume for the cinematics would make everything just perfect. Thank you for this video, and keep up the good work.

9. No Arkham Horror? That's a crime.

10. This video was too good. Just about every game on you list is now sold out everywhere!

11. Tim, I love your videos! What’s your view on Kemet vs Ankh? Have you played Kemet at 2 players before and if yes, do you think Kemet scale down / up well?

12. Off topic quick question. Medium weight navegation theme: Endeavor or Francis Drake? Wich is more interactive and fun? Help me, please.

13. Just found your channel and you should be hired by board game companies: you sold me on all your choices. I almost wanted to buy games I already own for a second time haha 😂. Also my compliments on your editing skills. subscribed

    (Also had the same with viticulture, took me some time to finally play it. But glad I did.)

14. Red Rising is Failed Game.

15. Pubs = no suscribed

16. I just started getting into board games. I love how you do cinematic tutorials and reviews. Keep it up subscribed. The cinematic sold me on subscribing. Completely different from a lot of the other review channels.

17. Like your Liste I have 4 /5 from the top 5

18. Great Video. If you're ever looking to collab on something drop me a line 🙂

19. OK THEN!! I subscribe to your channel you did it, you beautiful bastard!

20. Damn dude. From seeing you grow on IG to this, your stuff is just so sexy. Keep up the amazing work!

21. Ahhh all games I either love or really hope to try one day! Someday, somehow I hope to play a game with you because I also always lose…. So what will happen!?!? 😜

22. @Tim chuon I want to know how you shoot this video the zoom in at the games

23. I have to say when I saw your #8, I decided to subscribe to your channel. I’ve seen soooo MANY “Top 10 “best” lists. And I’ve listened to people talk about art work and epic size and game mechanics and game designers, card building, worker placement, blah, blah, blah. TBH, I NEVER play games because of any of those things. I’m not looking for “tasty” games, or games with a “crunch” (we all know where that comes from…). I play games to create memories and enjoy my time with friends and family-and that’s it. I don’t care how simple or silly a game is. Actually, I find I like simple games, because it is ACCESSIBLE to everyone I care about. I believe they call this genre “party games”.

    Last night my family and friends played a new game for us all, “Blank Slate” and we had a blast. Laughter and no one cared who won or lost. To me that is the best game nights.

    I’ve also played plenty of heavyweight games like Twilight Imperium. But I find myself playing those games less and less.

    I say all this to say, your choice at #8, you shouldn’t have to “explain” or caution why it’s on your list. I’ve never seen it, and it’s the one game I’ll probably go out and buy.

    Basically, remember why you play games. And thanks for sharing what games you enjoy the most.

24. Viticulture is way too random with the cards imo
    Too much luck, there are better games out there.

25. What a great video! Love it. I know you had to put a ton of time into making the video look this amazing.

26. After watching a few of your videos, I’m very impressed by your videography/showcase of games! It makes ordinary games pieces pop and other reviewers should emulate how you show games. Keep up the awesome work and I’ll stick around! 💚

27. i think most of these are not very fun, but that’s the beauty of board games: how different every one’s tastes are – and how there are hundreds of games to satisfy them all!

28. You are one of the Best Board Game Channels hands down. I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!! You do such an amazing job

29. I recent discover your channel and reviews, man you put a lot of heart in this, really amazing… Do you think that Kemet could work well for two people game or it need more people to work at its best?

30. I loved watching your top 10 board games list Tim. Great cinematography and fantastic game choices!

31. didn't know Red Rising had a board game! That's so exciting. one of my favorite series in recent years.

32. Can everyone please stop throwing in my face how amazing dwellings is!? I wanna play this game sooooo bad but cannot find a copy at retail or, really anywhere right now. It really really sucks to want to play a specific game, and such a recent release, so bad and not be able to get a copy.

33. "content available" for marvel united, interesting statement, maybe 'content that was made' just wish it was easier to get the content

34. your music is too loud

35. I tried really hard to get dwellings of eldervale but I couldn't get it
    No supply ☹️

36. It's a great list because I love some of the games and haven't played the others. Can't wait to try Dwellings of Eldervale and Merchant's Cove.

37. Subscribed. I enjoy your description of games. Thanks

38. You're like my wife: We got Red Rising and she won 5 times in a row. I then traded the game.

39. If you love Yugioh, you should check out Epic Card GAme, by Wise Wizard. It's Magic and Yugioh put together, without the need to buy any additional cards.

40. Duder! Just discovered your channel! Thank you for sharing your top 10 board games! I have been looking at both Marvel United and Marvel Champions, but have not been sure. Now after seeing them so high on your list, I'm definitely adding them to my list! Can't say I've ever heard of Dwellings of Elderdale, but it looks and sounds pretty cool beans. I'll have to check that out too. Definitely subscribed to your channel now!

41. Great video, I’m wondering about your impression of the solo modes on Viticulture, Kemet, and Merchant’s Cove?

42. "Be water my friend."

43. Dog is doing a good job running off the delivery people

44. Funny , I don't have any of those games

45. funny minecraft funny sword…

46. Still trying to get a copy of dwellings of eldervale

47. This is the board game channel I was waiting for!

48. I like that Viticulture you can play using little meeples that look like yoda.

49. World of warcraft is boring as hell compare to other table top games. It's pretty bare bones. I bought cowboy bebop Serenade and star wars rebellion after buying warcraft. Haven't touch it since. Only played it 2 times.

50. I discovered your site and this was my first time watching (won't be my last) incredible job. Of course now I have to make room on the gaming shelf for a few of these. Thanks.
