Description provided by Shut Up & Sit Down on YouTube:
This week we’ve got a chunky two-header for a chunky, verdant game. Black Forest features so many flecks of Uwe Rosenberg flair – but perhaps doesn’t do enough of its own to earn itself a space in your board game collection? Matt’s all loved-up, Tom is being pragmatic: WHO WILL WIN?

About Black Forest, from BoardGameGeek:
In Black Forest, you start out with a small domain in need of new buildings and livestock. You'll travel from village to village, to enlist the aid of the best specialists. Exploiting the abilities of these specialists lets you collect resources, lay out new landscape tiles (e.g. ponds and fields), and build a variety of buildings, which come in four types. Choose the right buildings, place landscapes, fire up your glass production, and expand your domain.
Uwe Rosenberg's resource wheels, made famous in Glass Road (2013), return in Black Forest. Two resource wheels on your tableau help you keep track of your resources and production. Black Forest continues the story - as the name suggests - in the Black Forest. Among others, the main difference between the two games is the use of worker placement in Black Forest instead of simultaneous action selection.
A wide selection of buildings and their different effects offer many different paths to victory.
