The January 2023 Monthly Debrief Video saw us discussing the games we really WANT to play. These are not considered Shelf of Shame games but just games we have not had the chance the play but really want to either because the designs look interesting, are designed by great designers like Brian Train and Ted Raicer or are on interesting subjects. It was a quite an interesting list and contained some lesser covered games in the hobby.
Also as usual, we covered the games we played in January, which was quite a few, and discussed what we are planning to play and cover during February.
We will remind you here that we are fortunate to be continuing our relationship with Noble Knight Games as the sponsor for our Monthly Debrief Video series. In case you don’t know, they specialize in hard to find games but also carry all the new releases. But what makes them truly unique is that you can find some of the rarest games, out of print games, hand made games, imported games from overseas, etc. Thanks to them for their sponsorship and we hope that you will consider them first when looking for the games we cover.

Italy game looks interesting. Does it have English rules? There is conflicting info about that on BGG. Thanks, Ryan

They includes a printed out copy in the box but said they are working on finalizing them. I have not ever really started digging into it yet but will this month before we get to play it.

I would be very curious as to what you all think of multiplayer Hidden Strike: AmRev. I played the solitaire version several times, and the best I could manage was a loss on tiebreaker. I think the solitaire variant is very hard to defeat. But reading the rules for the multiplayer variants of the game, I think this game may shine brighter when played with human opponents (true of many games). I can’t recall seeing any reviews of the game where the reviewer actually played it multiplayer.

Also interested to hear about your District Commander experience when it makes it to the table. Didn’t make it onto my buy list the last time I visited the Hollandspiele site over the holidays. Haven’t totally forgotten about the series, but would like to know more.

You’ll enjoy War & Peace. I’ve played and have the old AH version but would love OSS to reprint the 6th Edition. If Alexander wants to step up from War & Peace, have a go at AH’s Empires in Arms, it’s my want to play game.
