My Top 10 Board Games (Of All Time)
what is the image in 1:47?
Hey! I know you don't really post to this channel anymore, but they created a family-friendly version of this game. It's really neat how you can make the game easier or harder depending on your age group.
Boss Monster is the best game,. Played it 10+ times on Vacations on Cruise ships and resorts...
Use the evil men armies inside Harrad to defeat Gondor easily.
❤❤🎉
I hate the dice that resolve combat in the game. Everything else is glorious, but then you give us generic stock dice? I realized them.
You are FUN😄🤩😍
Accurate!! 😂
This game is awesome. It rakes a while to figure it out but the rule book is very well written.
Great review! Our taste of game sis quite similar 😂
Are there any kithe games that are similar to this one?
This is my favorite board game of all time. I ADORE games that are easy to learn but hard to master. And this game is one of them. It's a perfect game to play with anyone. And the "swift start" option is PERFECT for new players. My parents aren't big board gamers and they even found the game to be easy enough to understand and enjoyable. I love that every game is different from the other, and I love the theming too.
Hi Ali, hope you're doing great! When's your next board game video review? :D
0:18 ha haa that's funny
I see this game for sale everywhere now. I think even Wal mart sells it. I played it yesrs ago at a friends house, pretty sure we lost.
Wingspan is multiplayer solitaire. Interacting with other people is optional. Watching other people is useless. Waiting for your turn is a waste of time.
You're cute :-)
I like this game as a chill one. But also as a next step up from an introductory game. I have azul and settlers of catan as my introductory games for non gamers then this! Especially for girls
5:05 Until it’s snot 😂
You sound exactly like a servant of sauron. I like the game a lot. However i dont like the fact that you need so much muster actions to get a nation at war for the free people. And it also doesn't make any sence if a nation is atacked it isn't at war.. It should only take 2 muster actions to get someone to war so this means if a shadow player enters a border and atacks it is automaticly at war it also makes the game easier for the free people.
Aside from Friday, any thoughts on other single player games like... PagodaDawn Of the Zeds, Final Girl , or RatCatcher ? I've also heard good ******* things about some of the other games on your list: Root ******* Robinson Crusoe: ******* Deception: Murder in Hong Kong ******* Clank! In Space! (Clank Legacy *******) Photosynthesis: ******* Mage Wars Academy: Dominion: King of Tokyo: Friday
Wingspan is great, but the Oceania expansion makes it amazing, the Europe and Asia expansions are also really good.
Exploding Kittens
🔥FIRETOWER WITH 🔥 🔥THE RISING FLAMES 🔥 🔥EXPANSION ‼️‼️🔥 🔥( MUST HAVE )🔥
Bird watching as a kid was one of my favorite things with my Mom growing up in Florida and I was excited to realize I knew many of these Birds first hand!
Some of my favorite card games are: Parade, Take 5 (also known under the name "6 Nimmt!"), Jaipur, Scout, Dead Man's Drew, Coloretto, No Thanks!, Cat in the Box, Mandala, Saboteur, The Great Dalmuti.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone describe Arboretum as relaxing at all, haha! I’d say it’s relaxing when you look at the box art and open and look at the card art, then you play for the first time and you are immediately stressed out!
Hey, Ali. Just wanted to let you know that I love board game channels, and I hope you continue to upload. Best wishes.
I would ask for more coverage of the game about Robison Crusoe, taking into account the advice ua-cam.com/video/PaI5vwpHNsM/v-deo.html
Wow high effort my boyfriend thinks you put a lot of effort in and thinks you should keep making videos with that same passion!
Agree
17:37 does someone burp 😂😂
Point Salad is a Great Card Game !
I love root
I really like Monopoly Deal, even though I can't stand regular Monopoly. It's simple enough for kids, but there is a surprising amount of strategy if you really want to dig into it. My all time favorite card game is Dutch Blitz but I prefer playing it with standard playing cards instead of the official Dutch Blitz cards. Some people also call game Nertz. Another fun, simple card game is Munchkin Loot Letter.
I would recommend getting the flight expansion! It was a blast to use flying creatures and I think this helps carnivores a bit as well, at least for newer players cause it’s a guaranteed way to make a decent carnivore straight out the gate.
I like Robnson too, that's how you play more ua-cam.com/video/PaI5vwpHNsM/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/PaI5vwpHNsM/v-deo.html
The list and games are great but the acting is another level hahaha loved it
Root has quickly become my favorite too, I played it 5 times in a row with my friends a couple nights ago hahaha
Just to clarify, in Friday you're playing the character Friday who is Robinson's companion on the island and trying to keep the idiot version of Crusoe alive while preparing for nasty pirates. 😂 You must really like the theme though to have two games in the top ten.
Muffin Time is also a good chaotic game
you should try Mage Knight, you’ll love it
great list - I already really enjoy Photosynthesis, Clank, and King of Tokyo a lot so maybe I know which ones to try next!
My family LOVES this game. Easy to pick up, and enough competition for resource and cards to keep it somewhat competitive.
Great vid, thanks!
We just went science & military back to back. But i agree, they are more rare than civilization victory
I meet you
I can't recommend Root. People who have played it enough to understand it will beat you up when you start playing Root. Don't Root root root for the home team, if they let you win it's a shame. And is very unlikely to happen.
