do so we'd love to have you here in the garden comment down below what some of your favorite 2023 lighter game releases were and let's get into this video shall we all right so first getting into a few honorable mentions these ones are ones that I didn't want to include in the top 10 for various reasons so the first one is actually pretty exciting because this includes a giveaway so so the game that I wanted to talk about is Trio which I do know that Trio technically was a 2023 release but this is the same game as a Japanese game called NaNa which a huge thank you to shout out Ryan Carrie you guys are awesome they did gift me a copy of Nana at level up so I have Nana now I have Trio um these are basically the same game they just have slightly different art um but I was actually reached out to by happy camper games and they do want to uh do a little giveaway for a copy of Trio so if you guys want to win a copy of Trio just simply down in the comment sections comment something that includes Trio so the word Trio must be in your comment somewhere and then I will randomly pick someone to win a copy of Trio from happy camper games so a huge huge thank you to happy camper for doing this giveaway good luck to everyone um this will be a global or International giveaway so uh definitely go and enter down in the comments um but yeah I wanted to quickly talk about Trio because Trio was definitely um when I did this ranking it was number one it was 100% number one but then I was like no that doesn't it's not it's not fair because technically it is Nana and Nana was definitely not released in 2023 um so yes I decided to just make it an noral mention and have a little fun giveaway at the beginning of this video so um yeah Trio is a fantastic almost like goish for hobby Gamers kind of game where basically you were trying to be the first person to find three sets so a trio of sets of three so there are three of every single number from 1 to 12 and you are trying to be the first one with three sets or this is where it kind of gets like slightly complicated you can get two sets if you're the first person with two sets that add or subtract to seven because in the original game of Nana I believe nana means seven or 7 seven I'm not 100% sure um but yes you are wanting to add or subtract a seven or if you are the person that uh gets the set of sevens you also win um but it's this very interesting game where on your turn you're asking the people around the table um to reveal either their highest number or their lowest number or you can actually flip over a number in the center of the table so it's almost like you are like trying to fish for these different numbers trying to remember where these numbers are and then ultimately trying to get those uh sets so yeah that is Trio a fantastic game that we have played so many times on top of Nana we've played both of these many many times um so yes that was the first honorable mention again good luck to everybody with the little giveaway there um comment down below with the word Trio in your comment and you will be entered in to win that another game that I quickly wanted to mention that I did not include in my top 10 is a little card game that I was recently introduced to uh that is FTW or for the win this is a fredman freeze release you can obviously tell by the green color um but this is a card shedding game that I find to be very very satisfying and very fun um I've really enjoyed it I've only played it a few times thus far so that's why I didn't want to include it in this list I feel like all of the games that I am uh sharing with you guys right now I've probably played a solid like three to 10 times so the minimum that I wanted to play a game would be three times um in order to include it in the list um but this one I think I've played twice so far and I've really enjoyed it it's this fun shedding game where you have your hand of cards and you are playing down cards um in ascending order so you always have to play a card higher than the person that played before um you can also decide to take a card from your hand and place it in front of you for a later turn where then you can uh put one of the cards from your hand with the one in front of you add those together and place them in the middle so it kind of adds up to a higher number ultimately you are trying to be the first person with one card left in your hand and that one card is positive points and then everybody else at the table um they get one card which is their highest card that is positive points and then every other card in their hand is negative points so it's very fun puzzle of trying to figure out how to play Down these cards put some in front of you um when you do put them in front of you you do have to take a card from the pile in the center and then that pile is discarded and then you can start a new pile so super cool puzzle I really enjoy this card game definitely recommend if you can find a copy of it it's quick easy to learn um fun to play um but I didn't want to like I said include it on the list cuz I've only played it twice so that is for the win and then lastly we have this game right here which I didn't want to include this game on the list I've been freaking loving this this game but technically I don't think has has been quite released yet in uh like North America um but that game is far away so far away is now being distributed or published by uh pandasaurus games which is awesome um and I was gifted this copy so a huge thank you to pandasaurus um but far away is this fantastic card drafting um little Tableau building game that just ruins my brain but in the best way ever because you are playing down cards eight cards in a row and yes that might seem very simple but when you go to score that line of cards you are actually going from uh right to left and you are flipping one card at a time so that far right card only has that one card in order to be able to score things so you're not going to be able to get like different icons that are printed on those cards um the you do have some other cards up at the top which are called Sanctuary cards it's a little bit of a hard game to describe but it is just so fantastic and then as you flip over those cards you're going to get more and more of those icons and be able to score more and more of the objectives on all the other cards um and I just think it is so so fun I will say it is on BGA so I definitely recommend going and checking it out and then pandasaurus games will be releasing it very soon I believe they have it on pre-order right now um but they will be releasing it soon uh to retail which is very exciting um but yes that is far away I wanted to quickly mention that one um and those were the honorable mentions for the list uh let's quickly get into this top 10 shall we all right so starting off with number 10 this is a game that I've played both multiplayer and solo and have been loving it is on the top 10 it is number 10 so it's obviously lower than the rest of them but this still is a very good game I think in total I probably had a solid like 40 games 40 that um kind of went into this ranking um of games that were like a two and less um very like light games so this being 10 still out of 40 all of these uh really deserve their spot but that is yakmach the Winter Market which this is published by Whiz Kids and it was sent to me by whiz kids so a huge thank you to them but yakmach the winter Market is such a cozy game this is the one that I focused a lot on in January if you guys do not know the board game Garden has a like solo Focus uh prompt each month um I will be doing a new one every single month this month of uh February the word is adore um in January the word was warmth and I picked yakmach because it was a very just like cozy game to me it's all about a Winter Market it's a fairly easy just card drafting Tableau building game where you are going around this almost Rondell and it has that really cool mechanism where the person that's in last place those first and you can go as far forward as you want but obviously the further you get forward the longer it's going to be until you are the last player again and you can go again but basically you're moving one of your two meeples up to a card you're going to be drafting that card or taking that card putting it into your Tableau but the fun thing about this one is that there are a ton of different cards that you can put into the game so there's a bunch of different types of cards that are going to be scoring in different ways you're going to be doing some set collection you're going to be doing some like Tableau building there's like this Patchwork one that allows you to actually do this little puzzle of connecting different colors and creating this patch um Patchwork quilt thing so there's a bunch of different cards that you can kind of um decide to use each game so each game is going to be different um and I've really enjoyed this both multiplayer and solo below so that is why yuck mock the Winter Market is my number 10 uh 2023 release um yeah that's set cozy game moving on to number nine this is a polyomino game and honestly when I first saw and read the rules for this I'm like this is a very simple game but honestly it's a very fun game again I've played this both solo and multiplayer and that is a game called Junk Drawer which just being a fan of like organization and I've actually recently downloaded a game on my switch called a little to the left and this board game almost reminds me of that um where basically you are just like organizing things within a drawer and it is just so satisfying they all of the different items are uh little polyomino shapes and basically each round um you're going to have a bunch of different I think it's four cards CU there's four different sections of the drawer um each each round you're going to have four cards you're going to flip over one card that's going to be uh one of the items and if you're playing a multiplayer game every player has the same set of polyomino tiles so when you flip over that card you see that specific item everyone's going to grab that same items and then place it in one of the four sections of the drawer and each of the four sections of the drawers is going to have some sort of objective so the way you want to place those specific objects and then you're going to flip over the next card you're going to have to place that item that in a different drawer than the other one the next card you'll have to place in a different drawer and then the or different section of the drawer sorry and then the last card that you flip the fourth card you have to place in the section of the drawer that you haven't placed anything in yet and you'd move on to the next round you would continue this until one player could not Place one of the tiles and then you would score those four individual um sections of the drawer objectives and that is simply the game so I think it is a really good balance of being very simple rule set but great gameplay and again the theme of organization just gets me um so I really enjoy this one this is published by 25th Century games and I will say that this was sent to me for review as well so a huge thank you to 25th Century games for sending this over and I was pleasantly surprised by junk drawers so uh that is why it is my number nine moving on to number eight this is a wonderful game again one that I've played both solo and multiplayer and this theme just makes me so happy and just this game in general makes me so happy uh but my number eight is forever home so this is published by birdwood games this was sent to me for review so thank you to birdwood games um but this plays one to five players and it is just a very puzzly game so in the same realm of Cascadia and azool and Calico and different things like that you're going to be drafting um a card or a tile and you're going to be placing those dog tiles onto uh this grid so I think it's like a I forget how many squares a 5x5 Square um or like grid and you're going to be placing these dogs onto one of those squares and you're going to be trying to create these different patterns that are going to be on these cards that you would have drafted as well once you have created a specific pattern with you know specific placements of those dogs and specific colors of those dogs um you're going to be able to score that card and then it tells you on that card how many of those uh dogs you can rehome so you're going to be taking whatever ones you want and then you're going to be placing them into one of four different places that you can rehome them I believe there is the foster home suburbs City and Countryside I think those are the four and each game that you play you can actually use different cards so each of those four categories are going to score different color dogs in different ways um and I just really enjoy that puzzle I'm a huge fan of Calico Cascadia azool all of those different just puzzly games and this one really offers that with an amazing amazing theme um so I've enjoyed it so far I will also say that this one has recently been added to BGA as well so I definitely recommend checking it out on BGA you can play the solo mode on BGA so I've been playing that a ton over there but there's nothing like the physical uh like drafting of the things and putting them on the board I just abut love it so that is why forever home is my number eight moving into my number seven this is a game that I have only played three times so this is the one that I've probably played the least out of all these games but I had to include this game guys I do think that if I've had more plays of this game this would have been a lot higher but the game that I'm talking about is Coffee Rush so Coffee Rush is a game by Korea board games and this was actually gifted to me by my my wonderful friend Steph so huge shout out to Steph cuz you found a game that I absolutely Lov I'm sure you can tell that it is a game for me because it is a coffee themed game and you guys if you've seen the channel before know how much I love my coffee but anyways Coffee Rush is a it's hard to explain it's kind of just like a resource collection uh order fulfillment makes sense for like a coffee store or like Cafe game um order fulfillment game but there's this kind of element of that Rush that trying to uh you know fulfill orders as fast as you possibly can in the rush of working at a cafe so you're going to be uh moving your little meeple around this board um and the spots that you go to are going to allow you to collect certain ingredients and those ingredients you're going to be putting into these three little cups which are the cutest things in the entire world um and all the different ingredients are also so amazing there's like ice cubes and coffee beans and uh caramel and chocolate and all of these things I absolutely love it um but you're going to be putting these ingredients into these cups you only have three cups so you really have to manage what coffee orders you were working on in these three cups and then once you have finished one of those orders you're going to pour out that cup put the resources back and then that's going to be an order that you've successfully fulfilled but at the end of every turn that you take all all of your orders are going to be shifted down one and as they get lower and lower they get closer to you know needing to be completed and if you are not able to complete them by the time it gets to the bottom they do get discarded those customers are angry so it's going to go into a minus Point pile and then also a fun thing is that once you have gotten three successful orders every uh successful order is a positive point every uh unsuccessful order is a negative point but you can at one point if you have three successful order cards you can discard those flip over one of these special abilities that you can use which are very powerful special abilities that are pretty much going to get you double uh ingredients in some cases um one of them is allowing you to move diagonally which is really awesome but those will be pretty strong and allow you to collect more ingredients and ultimately fulfill more orders on future turns so um each of those special abilities as well once you flip them they get you two victory points so you're giving up three victories to flip over a special tile you get two victory points so you're really only spending one of your victory points in order to get some sort of a really special um helpful ability for uh future rounds so I really enjoyed this one this was actually one of my like biggest surprises of boaton when we did that in January so uh yeah absolutely love uh coffee rush I'm super excited to play it more uh but that is why it is my number seven moving on to number number six this is a adorable game I freaking love the art in this game it is a mushroom game um but that game is my Celia so my Celia was a game that was sent to me by Ravensburger so a huge thank you to them um this is a game that can be played one to four players I've played it solo I've also played it multiplayer and it is a wonderful wonderful game it is a pretty simple kind of intro to deck building but really cool element of it is that you're not only deck building but you're also moving these little do drops around this board which I freaking again love the puzzle of doing there's something about like little puzzles in a game that just gets me um so basically you are on your turn um getting three cards in your hand and you're going to be using those cards in different ways some cards are going to allow you to move do drops from one type of terrain to another some of them are going to give you more spending power in order for you to purchase more cards from the market a very basic uh deck building mechanism you have that market you're going to be uh getting more cards into your deck so that once you are um you know picking up those cards you can do stronger and stronger abilities and ultimately you are trying to be the person to uh get all of your do drops off of your board and the way to do that is obviously you're moving those do drops but there is one space on your board which you can get multiple of these spaces with other cards but there's one spot that's printed on your board that is a little like portal you are trying to ultimately get those uh little do drops to that portal once you get it to that portal spot it'll uh go over to this little Shrine once the shrine has been filled you actually like spin it and all of the do drops like fall out very beautifully um and then there's also a d and then that Dy will show you where you have to add a few more do drops to so that's kind of a little bit of a like you think you're close to being done but we're going to add a few more and you're just trying to be the first one to get all the do drops off the board um to be the winner so there's a little bit of a race element as well which I love um and it just gives this really cool spin to deck building with still making it a pretty simple game to teach and play and I've really really enjoyed it so that is my Celia that is my number six all right so moving into the top five it's kind of funny because the boxes are slowly going to be getting smaller which is interesting um but the next one my number five is a game that I actually have only played multiplayer which I'm surprised because apparently there are some great solo modes in this game and multiple great solo modes in this game so I really need to get on it uh with playing this one solo maybe I will do a solo live stream of this one but my number five is Trailblazers so Trailblazers was sent me by bitewing games I believe believe yes bitewing games and Trailblazers is a closed drafting so you are um taking a hand of cards the cards are very interesting shaped cuz they're like long rectangles um but each of them have some like different colored paths on them you're going to be choosing two of those and then passing the rest to the person either on your left or your right you're going to be placing down those two paths onto your little Tableau um the one thing about this game is that I'm really bad at it I will say but I still do really enjoy the puzzle of it it is like a route building game which I have discovered that I'm just really bad at and my brain just like can't comprehend creating paths and like following paths I don't know what it is but I've Loved this game every single time I've played it um despite that so uh yeah you're taking those two you're adding it to your Tableau you have three different types of paths that you're ultimately trying to create as many completed Loops starting from that like base camp kind of thing kind of card um and then finishing at that base camp card so there's going to be a walking path a biking path and a boating path and you're going to be adding these to your Tableau one round at a time so you're going to be choosing um one to start with you're going to add another one and then you're going to add another one um and you're ultimately like I said uh trying to create these different paths there's also some uh like public objectives that you're going for as well and I've just really enjoyed the puzzle of this one the production of it is fantastic the also nice thing about this one is that it does play up to eight players which is really good and it doesn't even take any longer because it is a fully simultaneous game for the most part the only thing that's not is like maybe some scoring and then obviously with Clos drafting games there's sometimes people that take a little bit longer than others which I've never really had an issue with so that is my number five that is Trailblazers a wonderful game there's also like a travel version of this too which I think is cool and there's also in this I don't know if you can hear all that jiggling uh there's also a animal expansion in here that I've played with once or twice uh which is a lot of fun as well and there's also like campfire type expansion and another one there's quite a bit in this in this box so uh yeah that is my number five moving on to my number four this is when the boxes are starting to get a little bit smaller um but number four is game from ktbg which is kids table board games I did purchase this one myself from I think it was packs unplugged yeah it was definitely packs unplugged diced veggies I had wanted ever since I uh saw it uh a bunch of people were talking about it and I just loved the look of it uh if you do not know I'm a huge fan of games that use dice in interesting ways and in diced veggies it uses dice in a very cool way that I've never seen before for basically you have this little like Square thing that you're going to be rolling all these dice into um it's going to make it so all the dice line up really nicely in this kind of square uh formation I don't know how many dice are in it but it's like a five by something uh big flat thing of dice basically um and all of the dice Pips are going to be different obviously uh due to just rolling them into there and all of the different dice are going to be some different um colors which represent the different types of ingredients that you're going to need for your recipe cards so everyone's going to have some recipe cards in front of them and they are going to require certain dice uh colors in order to fulfill them also you have these other cards I forget what they're called but some of them are going to be like you get additional points for doing some specific thing with these dice so basically on your turn you're going to be taking this little cleaver knife thing and you're going to be chopping off a section of the dice which I think is so fun but the section of the dice that you cut off the Pips can only equal up to 10 so you have to count out the Pips of the dice that you are breaking off and if it's 10 or less you get to take those add them to your different recipes and then once you've had a recipe completed you can take all those Dice off and then you score victory points based off of that recipe it's very simple game but again I just absolutely loved it and just I'm fan of food themed games and it's an easy one to teach an easy one to get to the table unfortunately there's no solo mode but I've I've I've been fine with that uh I really enjoyed it multiplayer but yes that is diced veggies my number four moving on to number three this is actually I think the only rolling right of this list it's actually it's technically a flip and roll and shape right um but anyways it's a very interesting one and one that I've been obsessed with there's something about this game that I just absolutely love um but that is mind space so this is a very small box which I absolutely love that means that this can go so many places with me I've played this multiplayer I've played it solo um and it is from allplay and I do believe this one was sent to me for review so a huge thank you to allplay for that but mind space was one that I saw I love the theme of this one where it's kind of filling in the brain with different like memories and feelings and stuff like that which I think is very cool um again I love the look of it the kind of like sketchy um art of it but in the game you're going to have a line of cards that have different polyomino shapes on them uh you're going to have a line of six so from one to six you're going to roll these different colored Dice and then whatever those uh dice Ru to you're going to place those numbers by the coordinating cards each of those dice are going to be a different color and then on your turn you're going to be choosing one of the dice with the connected card and you're going to draw that polyomino shape from the card in the color that the dice was or the dye was and you're going to be putting that into the brain anywhere you want the brain is uh divied up into like five different sections and you cannot have any of the same colors touching so you're always trying to have different colors surrounded by different colors and each of the different colors are going to score in a different way um you also are going to get points for completing the different sections of the brain and there's also some like public objectives so once you have completed one of those objectives if you're the first one it gets flipped over and then everyone else gets less victory points very similar to uh like welcome to your perfect home also has that um but yeah there's just something about this game I think it's just like so easy to take anywhere to teach to get to the table I think it's just absolutely amazing I love rolling rights and this one was a huge hit for me in 2023 so that is why mindspace is my number three moving into the top two these two games could not be any different but I absolutely love it my number two is a very chaotic easy simple game but there is something about this game this is probably the game that I've played most out of every single game that I've talked about today um and it is just created so many amazing moments and laughs and memories for me and my family and my friends and that game I actually do not have the physical coffee with me today because my parents loved it so much that they asked to borrow it uh for their vacation so they took it on vacation with them to Mexico anyways this right here is that's not a hat and you have to say it like that that not a hat you have to say it um but that's not a hat I purchased a while back I got introduced to that's not a hat from I think it was Grant lion possibly at level up Retreat last year in 2023 um and I loved it so much that I picked up my own copy once I saw a copy in stock somewhere and I have played it with so many people uh at so many different like get togethers and it is just been so so much fun so that's not a hat is a little bit of a memory game pretty simple you're going to have some sort of icon in front of you it's going to be some sort of shape so it might be a bucket it might be a duck it might be a chocolate bar whatever it is you have it in front of you you look at it you need to remember what it is and then you place it face down in front of you everyone has an item you're going to kind of look to see what everyone else has everyone places them face down one person the first player takes a second one looks at that shows it to everyone places it down and then they have to um there's arrows on the back of the cards they have to give that gift I guess the the theme of the game is that you're gifting uh things to people and then regifting things um so you're going to say hey uh here's a bucket and the person that you gave that bucket to has to say thank you for the bucket and then the other card that they had first they will give that gift then to whoever uh the a was pointing to and say hey here's a blank and then that person says thanks for the blank pushes something else and basically you are just trying to remember what everyone has what everyone is gifting back and forth but you're just trying to remember what cards were where and where they're being pushed and at any time if you ever think that someone gives you something that it's not actually that thing because a lot of people forget what is being pushed around and they kind of just make up something um you can say that's not a bucket and then you can flip it over if it is a bucket unfortunately you take that card as a negative for yourself but if it is not then the person that gave it to you and got it wrong takes it as a negative point for them so it's very fun game I absolutely love it and again I've played this so many times in 2023 and it has just made me laugh so much and everyone in my life laugh so so much and create some great memories so that is why that's not a hat is number two all right so we have finally made it to my number one lighter game of 2023 or lighter game release of 2023 and this game I have become obsessed with uh very much so recently um I've played it many many times I don't even know at this point how many times I've played it this is another one that is actually available on BGA and my friend Aidan and I have played so many games of this on BGA I've also played it a ton in person as well with Aiden and with other people um this is one that I would love to introduce to Francis cuz I do think that he would enjoy it so maybe I will see if Francis and his parents want to play this tonight we will see um but my number one lighter 2023 release is Nar Nar stupid um but anyways Nar is published by pandasaurus games which pandasaurus games did send this copy to me so a huge thank you to um Nar is a fantastic game where it is or feels like such a big game in such a small box and it's not incredibly difficult there is more going on than a lot of these other games um but it is just one of those games that I continuously come back to time and time again because I want to get better at this game and I just want to kind of hone in on some sort of strategy for this game and there's so many different strategies that you can go for in this game and I think that's why I love it cuz there's so many like paths and you really have to see like and look what things you start with at the beginning of the game and what things are available at the beginning of the game and really structure your strategy with that and I have just enjoyed this one so so much I've gotten a lot better at this one as well um but basically you are I think like steering a Viking ship you're like a Viking ship captain and you're going to be playing down your like crew mates and those crew mates are going to be getting you different rewards the cool thing is that you're going to be playing down these Viking cards which are going to be one of five different colors um and you're going to be playing those down into the colored rows so if for example I had two yellow cards already played if I played down another yellow card that would actually allow me to gain rewards from all of the cards that I the one that I just played as well as the other ones that I had there so I could gain victory points I could gain reputation so I'd go up on the reputation track I believe that's what it's called you can get these like bracelets which are going to allow you to do a stronger trade action um then you also get these uh recruitment tokens I believe that are allowing you to use them as uh wild uh Vikings so that might not make any sense but again this game has quite a lot going on for the uh size of the box and uh yeah so you're playing down those cards and then eventually you are going to build up this great engine of all these Viking cards the more of a color that you play down the more rewards you're going to gain um eventually you going to actually spend those Viking cards in order to um acquire some of these I think they're like Landmark cards possibly they're like the different places that you're going to be sailing on your ship to and then those cards are going to ultimately get you the victory points that you need and it's also going to create this other Tableau of your trade actions so like I said you can get these bracelets that you're going to be then spending in order to I guess like run that specific engine so the more Landmark cards you have the more rewards you're going to get based off of the bracelets that you spend for the trade so those cards you're going to be placing on top of each other and then each of them are going to have uh some rewards in three different columns um you can spend one bracelet to get all the rewards in the first column two bracelets to get the two columns and then all three bracelets in order to get all three columns um and like I said The more of those landmark cards you have the stronger all of those columns are going to be um so the stronger that your um trade action is going to get so uh I'm yapping about this game quite a bit but I have fallen in love with Nar and it is such a fantastic game that that I am very addicted to I will also mention I think someone told me somewhere that Shem Phillips himself created a solo mode for Nar this might be totally wrong I might just be hearing things I haven't actually looked into it but if sham Phillips has created a solo mode for Nar y it's going to be even higher um but anyways yeah Nar is absolutely fantastic um it is ultimately a race as well because the first person to get to 40 I think every other player gets a h turn and then whoever has the most points uh after that is the winner so yeah that is Nar that is my number one light 2023 release all right friends so that is going to be everything for today's video those are my top 10 plus a few
