Top 10 Board Games That Should Be In EVERY Home

Would love to see a top 10 list: Games that only i seem to like. It would show us some other games that dont get talked about as much.

🤣🤣1:35-1:55 definitely has to go on best moments of the year video. Zee was hilarious. Every convention Tom is at someone needs to go up to him and ask for 10 games to put in their home with the weird eyed face

I know Mike hasn't been gone for very long, but, man, it's good to have him back! This was lightning in a bottle. Everyone brought their "A" game here. I laughed out loud so many times. That said, I'm shocked – SHOCKED, I tell you! – that Tom and Zee didn't put Dixit on their lists.

For me (not in any particular order): - Carcassone - Catan - Ticket to Ride - Kingdomino - Just One - Dixit - Cascadia - 7 Wonders - Skull

This was great fun to watch. I’m sorry I missed it live. So nice seeing the three of you together.

I'm surprised that my (admittedly small and new) collection lines up best with Mike owning 4 of them. Loving the content!

Mike got me thinking of a video idea at the beginning. Tom, Zee and Mike all find 10 random games by using the "random game" feature on BGG. They have to say something good about the games and give reasons why to play the games, even if they end up with games they dislike 🤣🤣

OMG Zee's "wild-eyed guy" has got to be one of the top 10 funniest things on the internet

Can confirm that as a non-American, learning that Barnes & Noble is a bookstore was useful 😁 I mean I had already guessed it was not your FLGS, but now I'm like "it's Whitcouls!"

This is one of my favourite top 10 lists. Funny but very informative. Great stuff.

So...to make a humor to boxing comparison. Mike set me up with the "You don't remember the Scooby-Doo episode where he fought orcs." Then they all three followed up with the Jedediah, Jeremiah, Jebidiah combo and I was in tears. There are times when I don't even care what game they're talking about, it's just fantastic entertainment.

I really enjoyed this top 10 list. This is the first time I’ve watched one all the way through. The pics were interesting, and your banter was really fun and engaging. Great job everyone.

Great lists, gents! King of Tokyo is my go-to game in the classroom and with new gamers, and almost every friend and family member I have introduced it to purchased it the night after we played it. Fabulous picks all around!

Great Top-10 list! I agree with several of these picks as well: Ticket to Ride, Marvel United, Trekking Through History, For Sale, Archaeology: The New Expedition, King of Tokyo, and Point Salad.

A few weeks ago I had a games night with my parents in law. We played Downforce, Trekking Through History, and Dixit. So good picks everyone!

Ghost fighting treasure hunters is a blast! Great pick Zee. I would also include Forbidden Island, Azul, Carcassone, Stone Age, sushi Go Party, Wingspan, Catan, Ticket to Ride. Funny enough about 8 years ago my intro game was Bohnanza that led me to this hobby...and dont knock me for Wingspan its really easy to learn and very informative as well.

I think it's fine having 1 or 2 games, out of the 10, be a little heavier weight than entry level. I mean if you are giving a family 10 games and they are all basic/easy...they'll just get bored of them quick. Having like 5 entry level, 3 slightly heavier, but not much, and a couple that aren't difficult, but brings a little punch is just fine. Most families will want to give weightier games a try...and I'm not talking super heavy, but 2.5ish/5 type weight.

I recently realized that Dice Throne will seem simple to any person who has already played games: Mtg, any fighting (because of the duel part, and the asymmetric fighter thing) or rpg game (talking attacks and upgrades, status effect and others). Because to those people, the concepts that come from these games are simplified and mixed up in Dice Throne. To any other person who doesn’t play much these types of games, Dice Throne is full of alien concepts and can seem overwhelming, I managed to teach it to three persons, all reactions were different depending on how much of the core concepts could resonate with people’s gaming experience. But I could teach this game to a friend without having the game in front of us, because he has played a lot in his life. Simply put, Dice Throne looks like an easy game, but in geeks’ eyes only.

Tom: When you say grandpa knows who Iron Man is, do you mean you know who Iron Man is?

Great lists all of them. To make the suggested collection ages better, I prefer these changes : 7 Wonders (any of them) -> Sushi Go Party , For sale -> Century (2+) or Jaipur (2) , Codenames -> Decrypto (Everybody has the chance to give hints and not limited to a single word or even words in general) , Junk art -> Tuki, Downforce -> Camel up or Bad Company. plus, four additions: + An easy sth and write game such as trails of Tucana or even maybe Capitan Sonar + Azul (OG) + A simpler non-consequential co-op game such as Hanabi (you don't want a group of non-gamers feel lost all together because of a game. You will dump such a game as soon as you can) + a good simple deduction game for the moments your guest feels pretty smart such as Deception of Cryptid
