What are some games you will never get rid of?
Biblios, Strike, and Flamme rouge for me 😄
Spirit island for me.
Anachrony because we both love it and have spent to bling it out; Firefly because it was one of our first games that brought us into the hobby; 7th Continent because it was our first major Kickstarter, we have all the expansions/promos and is the game we probably have invested the most time into.
Love letter, Hive, Azul
Hansa tutonica
Love all your play through reviews, but vids like this one are paramount. Great to see games that are dear to you two.
Hi Norman, thanks for the kind words. We really enjoy throwing in a video like this from time to time!
My top 10:
- Hanabi
- Cubirds
- Ticket to ride
- Survive: Escape from Atlantis!
- Monopoly Deal Card Game
- Machi Koro
- Jaipur
- Dragon's Hoard
- Concept
- The Crew
As you can see I am also very much into card games :D
Great top 10! Always so interesting to hear how certain games resonate with people.
For me, my #1 is Hanamikoji. I absolutely love to introduce new gamers to this game, and the moment when they go "aha" after playing the first few rounds.
You two have such a good and joyful energy. Thank you for sharing it.
I always wave back at Monique. :)
Haha, love it!
Me too
and I smile back to that handsomest loveliest guy she is lucky to have 🫶
awesome video! Bunch of games I haven't heard of and looking forward to research more.
Nice list! I had never heard of a few of the small box games you mentioned, and I’ve been playing games for a looong time, so it’s always fun to hear about something new to me that is so well-loved. Totally agree on Goa, Ginkgopolis, and Bruges-all of them are unique and so very good!
Every time I hear about Goa I want to try it, I love each of your enthusiasm for these titles.. it really energizes my interest in reexploring my collection with friends. You guys rock!
I believe this is the best representation of “Top 10s” at least for Board Games.
The two of you passionately elaborates, expounds and share the feats and aspects of the choice games in your list without overselling them too much or going on stale and tedious when elucidating them. It always feel natural and nice to listen to.
It very much convinces me to “hey I should definitely try this”. Although not all of course, but it reasonably helps me resonate more and consider a game before buying it.
Others are just like “ohh I really love this…” and “I just freakin’ love this game” without expressing themselves in a more understandable manner. I guess Top 10’s shares that “marketing-like” aspect of attracting people to give certain items a chance to be experienced and you guys always did that brilliantly alrhough the basic premise is just “expressing or sharing” which is inherently good. The top 50’s you did before? TOTALLY liked and felt that. Your Vital Lacerda inputs? Mind-blowingly exciting and interesting. You even convince me more to try On Mars (still saving money for it though since I just got Lisboa and Age of Steam) despite it being so intimidating and you guys both put it “the most complicated” of Lacerda’s games.
This channel is a gem.
So many games to discover! Thank you for making this list, hadn't heard of any of these prior. Hope we get to play some of them soon! As for a game we're never getting rid of... our dad's cribbage board :)
As always: great review. Very pleased that Bruges finished in first place. Stefan Feld's masterpiece and my hometown. Also funny that you own the Dutch version of Hoity Toity, same as mine. Keep up the good work and... greetings from Bruges.
Couldn't agree more! It's a great game, we are super excited to play it more now that we have it!
Lancashire is also my preferred Brass, and I own both as well. I appreciate that Lanc has less rules and plays in less time. Makes it easier to introduce to new players, and thus easier for me to get more plays in.
Thank you for this top10! I will never get rid of my: Keyflower, Agricola, 7 Wonders, Wingspan, the West Kingdom series, Azul, New York Zoo, Clans of Caledonia, Caverna and Ticket to Ride Europe.
You sound like our kind of gamer!! :-)
I forgot about Wingspan! That’s one to hold onto.
@@Console_Yourself Is it? Random. Go for Everdell instead
I am happy to see several games that I own on your lists. And I see some other ones that I have considered buying in the past. I enjoy you two and your work. Great job!
Great video! Loved you suggestions.
Great episode!
Thank you.
Great vid and great lists! Would love to see an 11-20 of this one ;)
Hah don't make us do it...!
Great video! Adel Verplicht was the first Euro I ever played (in 1993). Haven't played it in years. Fun!
Great lists! Goa is in my top 5. I have inherited my friend's copy of the 1st ed. The auction is great. I love the track movements as well.
Totally agree! The game totally needs a reprint ASAP.
Awesome! You guys made this video!
I love two rooms and a boom as my go to ice breaker / full group activity at a party. I think it plays at 10 people fine for a few rounds, especially if keeping it to basic roles. Would love to have a larger experience with the game though with some time to delve into different roles (every time I've set it up it's been at max 3 games).
This was a cool topic to cover as it got some more unknowns to think about if ever running across used copies or new printings.
Love the video. Thanks!
Really great video guys
thank you for the recommendations : )
50 minute video! Heck yeah! Love you guys
Love seeing Scythe on the list, what a great game and build quality. Great content you both, keep up the good work!
Definitely some good choices there but a really big cheer for Ginkopolis, a game that has never been as popular as its unique play deserves. Watching you struggle to describe it was all too familiar, it's one of those games you pretty much have to play at least once before you can really grasp what it's doing, but once you get it, it just all clicks into place and makes perfect sense.
You two make me smile. thanks.
Haha nice. Im from holland and its a surprise you are showing the dutch version of Hoity Toity; Adel Verplicht. 💪😀 pronunciation of the dutch title was really good 👍
Parade is a good title. Im happy with my copy, very hard to find indeed
Great vid and channel!
Thank you for your kind words about Panamax 😊🤗
Best video you've made! Subbed.
That Scythe legendary box is an absolute beast! Reminds me I need to play it again soon. So so good
We absolutely love it at 5 players :-)
I ❤ Obsession as well, a very nice surprise when I got it as well.
I think it is absolutely amazing that of the 150 games in my collection, there was ONE crossover with this list. :) New Subscriber.
Thanks for the sub! What was the crossover?!?
@@BeforeYouPlay Scythe. We were at a local game store and had the game demoed to us and loved it immediately. Bought a copy on the spot with a couple expansions.
Even though I don't play it that much any more, I'd have to keep Puerto Rico because it is the game that solidified my love of board games and really got me in the hobby beyond the classics of Scrabble and Clue.
Another one I hold dear is Expedition: Northwest Passage. I love the theme and the mechanic of the water freezing over and having to put out your sled while worrying about getting back to your boat on time before the ice melts and possibly getting stranded on an ice flow.
Along the same lines is the game Raptor. It's not my favourite 2-player only game, there are so many great ones out there, but the theme and the way the game plays, as well as having taken a gamble on it without doing my now mandatory research on the game and finding it to be such a gem really endears it to me.
Everdell and Nemesis have been my top two games for the past two years, so I can't see them leaving my collection anytime soon.
The Gallerist is my favourite Lacerda game and I would hate to part with that one.
Then I have the original Arboretum in the green box and I will keep that forever.
The oldest game in my collection and this list is the 1963 3M edition of Acquire which is still an incredible game and plays so well.
Lastly I'll add Condottiere to the list because it's a great game in a small box and my board wouldn't lie flat so I kept trying to flatten it more and then it snapped. I ended up snapping the other part off as well and taping them together and that extra bit of character somehow makes me love the game that much more. And it lies flat now. 😜
Great video! How many games do you have in your collection?
A lovely list. My personal Forever games are:
A Feast for Odin plus expansions
Mage Knight Ultimate Edition
Star Trek: Frontiers
Gloomhaven
Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion
Lost Ruins of Arnak plus expansion
I hope to add Frosthaven and Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread to this list when it's fulfilled, but without having played them, I can only hope they're as good as I wish for them to be
Thanks for the fun video! 👍😎🚛
1:30 I didn’t realize that I would be sitting through a coffee commercial!
This is an awesome list! I’ve learned about so many good games. I am definitely hunting down “Two rooms and a boom”. 😁 Also, I think this is the most I’ve ever seen Naveen speaks in a video. Your excitement is infectious! 😝
Cheers guys. Lovely video.
Haha sometimes he gets really excited! Thanks for all the support!!
I prefer Brass: Lancashire because it's a bit tighter and tougher of a challenge. Birmingham is a bit easier and more forgiving of mistakes. I prefer Agricola over Caverna and Le Havre over A Feast for Odin for the same reason. I like my heavier games to have pointy edges and force me to really think. Great video! I just ordered a copy of Hoity Toity off bgg marketplace. :-)
Awesome to see some love for Alchemists! It really is a fantastic game that I don't think gets the attention it truly deserves. I think the whole app-thing just makes some people opposed to it on principle.
Thanks for the cafe recommendation. Going to snag it!
We just played our first game of Panamax and had a blast!
Interesting picks, I have not even heard of a CuBirds, Obsession, and a few others. My top 10 would definitely include New York 1901 and City of Horror.
Brass Birmingham (I like Lancashire also, but not as much so I gave it to my daughter). Scythe with everything. Istanbul with the coffee expansion. Quacks with all the expansions and geek up bits. Castles of Burgundy. Port Royal with the contracts expansion (I'm on my third copy of that and will need to replace this one soon). Space Base with some of the expansion components.
Thanks for the video. I am now looking for a copy of Panamax. Good luck with that.
My home-made version of RoboDerby Express. Mum and I cutting wooden sticks into dice, and then meticulously printing and sticking the dice art onto them. Took forever, but it is my most wonderful game!
Still love downfall of pompeii to this day. you guys introduced me to Ginkgopolis and it's one of my fav now. Still need to get Obsession somehow. Great video!
So glad you found Ginkgopolis, Naveen search high and wide for it, he was so happy that they reprinted it! Hopefully you will be able to play Obsession sometime in the near future :-)
Okay...so...Navine's French press moment auditioning to be on a commercial was kind of over-the-top adorable :).
Vi seguo da qualche settimana e mi avete profondamente colpito per la vostra ordinaria semplicità. Sono un sacerdote cattolico che vive nella bella Sicilia e spesso i giochi da tavolo sono stati per i miei ragazzi occasione di aggregazione e di sano confronto. Non scrivo in inglese molto bene. Scusatemi. Grazie e continuate così!
That is a neat eclectic list...Goa is definitely a fun one.
Great list, really interested in trying out Witness and Feast for Odin
Hope you can try them out!!
Odd submission: My equivalent of this is actually a game my friend owns. He has a copy of Inkognito, a deduction game first published in 1988, and since I can't find it anywhere I'm very protective of his. My hope is that, now that he has kids, I can buy it off him and keep it myself.
Great lists! Totally agree with the sentiment that "deluxe edition" can be too much! And as long as the quality of the regular edition is at least passable I will go for that... I just want my games to be functional and space efficient. And if an expansion can't fit in the main box there is a good chance I won't buy it for the same reasons, even if it's an expansion for a game I really like :D
Eclipse, Dinosaur Island, Gloomhaven, Caverna, Feast for Odin, Xia, Legend of a Drift System and Trickerion.
- Discworld: Ankh-Morpork (it was a gift and is out of print)
- Anachrony (My first Big Game, also I've upgaded it to Infinity box + extra tokens)
- In the hall of the mountain king (one of my favourite games, again deluxified)
- Space Race (I have both the card and the board versions, love the art, like the mechanics, at leat one of them will remain forever with me)
- Cerebria (love the art, unique settings, pre-painted minis ...)
+ few more that were gifts
I am glad you will use the Norwegian expansion for your Feast play through. It really sorts out the weaknesses of the original.
Totally agree!
Our number 1 would have to be Kohaku. The wife and I just adore this game and play it to the wee hours of the night when we get it out and just keep playing just ONE more game. It had a pretty limited run, there were complaints about the acrylic tiles being sharp and those edges scratching the paint, but we sanded down all the edges and put on a coat of laquer on the back side and it has survived hundreds of plays in perfect condition so far.
I'd also never get rid of that awesome Nintendo shirt! As far as the games, somewhat surprising choices, but great stuff. I'd personally never get rid of a huge chunk of my games, including my Dominion collection (I've got every single card), my fully decked out Big Box KS version of Island of El Dorado, my signed copy of Stomple, my OG Space Hulk and OG Robo Rally sets, and ALL of my Star Wars games (I just love anything Star Wars). Some stuff I'm waiting on that I'll also probably never get rid of is my KS version of Endless Winter and the Big Box for Paladins and all the content for that game, including several KS promo cards.
Fun list! By the way, "Jack's Friends" sounds very similar mechanically to "Not Alone", which I think is getting an expansion, so I am guessing might be easier to get.
I was thinking the same thing! Not Alone is also available on Board Game Arena.
Oh, some love for Panamax.
I am also super happy that I have this rare and unique game in my collection.
It's such a great well rounded game!!
Love this! My husband and I started trying to make this list for us- it’s hard! Our top 4 are Too Many Bones (with the trove chest), Arkham Horror LCG, Spirit Island, and Lisboa. Also, random question- what insert do you have for A Feast for Odin??? I hate the setup and takedown of that game, especially with the expansion in the box haha, so I think I need an insert!
3D printing an insert is by far the best option. You can fit the game + expansion in the base box, and save a lot of table space.
Oh. I misread the title! I thought you were getting rid of Obsession. What a great, super-underrated game. One of my new favorites. And I just finally got Lancashire - looked more for me than Birmingham. A lot better than I thought it would be. Seemed very dry, so I'd kept away.
Haha misreading the title completely changes the video! So glad you enjoyed your play of Brass! I can't wait to play it again.
Great topic and choices!! Ginkgopolis and Obsession I'd never get rid of, also Shakespeare with expansion (that little box of cards makes a world of difference and is hard to find now), Clans of Caledonia, Brass Birmingham, Bruxelles 1893, Fury of Dracula 4th edition, Inis, Grand Austria Hotel and The Grizzled
+1 for Bruxelles
Yah! We love Alchemists! Have the expansion but have never yet done the golem stuff in it. I just like the variable wakeup tiles and the asymmetric start modules.
Wow you have a Dutch version of Adel Verplicht! Never heard of it but I decided to try it! Cheers, Stefan (NL)
Downfall of Pompeii is so fun! When the volcano starts catching up to the greedy players, every draw for the lava tiles is really exciting
An errata pack is coming for Obsession, The Useful Man. Make sure you get it.
Great news to hear! Thanks for the heads up ;-)
Great to see Panamax here!
"It's a process." :) Love it!
Finally! Someone that agrees with me about Brass versions! I found Birmingham to be just a little messy with beer and pottery added on.
Feast for Odin for the win. Looking forward to your playthrough.
We are excited to showcase it! Just a few more titles to get through first lol.
I have looked at Johari... will check it out again.
16:50
I recently designed a 3D-printable insert and dice tower for the original printing of The Castles of Burgundy.
Increase fun and reduce setup and teardown time :D
models can be found on printables (for free of course)
I wonder if you guys have played the old Avalon Hill game called Diplomacy - not sure it's in your wheelhouse - but when I played it with friends (30 years ago and it was not a new game then) we had hours of fun because of the strategy and also the diplomacy phase - where you would work out deals and sometimes double cross your friends - it was tons of fun.
I’m going real old school. I am never getting rid of my Monopoly game from the 80’s. Too many game night memories with my parents to get rid of it even though no one, even me, wants to play it anymore. Also never getting rid of trivial pursuit. It was the first game I bought as an adult in the 90s. Current games I would never get rid of is Sleeping Gods, wingspan and splendor.
Thanks for shouting out Two Rooms and a Boom! We think you’ll like Two Rooms 2, release tbd.
Great list with some unexpected choices. For me, Gentes Deluxe, Spirit Island, Pandemics Iberia +Rising Tide + Fall of Rome + In the Lab, Troyes, Grande Hotel Austria, Antiquity, Dorn, Imperial Settlers, Antike Duellum, Notre Dame and Ra are the main contenders. Never played Scythe but that would probably be there too... ooooh, forgot Clans of Calendonia, how could I?
Being from Belgium I'm really suprised and so funny you have a game in my language... "adel verplicht" never heard of that one.
Very, very difficult to give a concise answer to that question, but I'd probably go with:
- Abyss (+ expansions ; one of the first games my wife and I bought, and we still love it to this day)
- Cascadia
- Calico (both these games are so simple, yet offer just the right amount of brain-burning to make us (and anyone we've introduced them to) want to come back to them again and again)
- Everdell (technically getting rid of this game to replace it with the Complete Collection, but that title is not going anywhere - gameplay aside, its entire universe resonates so much with the Redwall books I was so enamoured with as a child/teenager that it has quickly become the centrepiece of my collection)
- Hadrian's Wall (so satisfying as a solo game; it looks daunting at first, but then the pleasure of triggering all those chain reactions kicks in, and it's hard to get bored while playing)
- Scythe (I think I needn't add to what you've already said)
- PARKS (beautiful, relaxing, and again, just the right amount of challenge to it).
This list will probably become far longer with all the Kickstarters arriving at the end of the year / Q1 2022.
We've tied all of those except for Abyss (the box art draws me in so much!) and Hadrian's Wall. Hopefully there wont be too many delays in KS shipping due to the global shipping problems going on.
@@BeforeYouPlay Abyss is a wonderful game with fantastic components and artwork, is very easy to teach, and really underrated :-) Admittedly it plays best with both its expansions added on (they give the core game far more strategic depth, and fix some of its less interesting mechanisms), but if you get the chance, jump in! As for Hadrian's Wall..... a pure endorphin factory.
I'm never ditching my game of Candyland. I have the "Lord Licorice" expansion and it makes the game to intense and variegated to ever give up.
I will never get rid of Dungeonquest. An all time favorite even though there is only a 15% chance of survival!! And I just ordered the Downfall of Pompeii! Hearing Michelle talking about directing lava on your opponents, sold me! Lol
“And the Best thing about Dungeon Quest is….”
My sacred titles that am not getting rid of:
Agricola original version. This was my entry game into heavier euros and I loved it. I have most of the alternative decks that are out of print for it
Le Havre. Also a beloved Uwe Rosenberg game for me
Advanced Civilization. Nowadays superseded by Western & Eastern empires, but I will stick to my orginial version. Great game with pretty unique mechanics. However, it is almost impossible to get to the table outside of conventions since you need minimun 5 people committing a full day to play it.
Anachrony Infinity box. Recent purchase that won't be reprinted. Great thematic euro game with top notch components. (The metal resource cubes are so wonderful)
Terraforming Mars. Awesome game. The Big box edition with metal cubes gives it a delightful table presence
Good list.
Talisman (1983 Original), Knightmare Chess 1 & 2 (Original, not the reprints), Stone Age (w/o the expansion), Das Buch zum Spielen (Rare Catan expansion), and Cosmic Encounter(2000 Avalon Hill) would be a handful of games I would never get rid of. Most of which are out of print and they are just awesome to play. Some my most favorite game experiences were with these games.
Obsession and Yedo are my two keepers! I would really like to try parade, might have to find a copy of that one. I was pleasantly surprised Scythe was so loved! That is a great game.
Yedo is on our Shelf of Shame! Naveen picked it up at a con several years ago. Don't know much but had heard a lot of good things about it.
Hi Monica, there is an expension to Café game called Café:Expresso. Are you thinking of getting this one too?
Witness! What a gem! Too bad it's so hard to get a copy. I also love Castles of Burgundy, although if they ever released a pretty or thematic version, I'd want it. Ginkgopolis is one of my absolute favorites too; I'm thrilled to see it in print again - it's just such a unique drafting game. Obsession is one of my absolute favorites and also absolutely unique, so not going anywhere. Also, yay for Brass Lancashire love - it's my favorite, but most seem to favor Birmingham, which always feels clunkier (albeit more forgiving) to me. After you list, I'm even more eager to find Cafe, even though it's super hard to find.
You should make a similar list of SOLO games too. Great going.
Ironically Goa was the first game I ever sold ! Also I didn't expect to see Dutch version of a game in this one :D
My 10 games I would never get rid off (from 1 to 10) : Shogun, Cosmic Encounter, Las Vegas, AquaSphere, Yunnan, The Staufer Dynasty, Manilla, Colossal Arena, Istanbul and Die Sieben Siegel (aka Wizard Extreme)
A Feast for Odin with the Norwegians expansion is all merged into the same box and I will never take them apart!
Agreed. It's the only way to Feast!
Haha cool! Naveen's number 9 is a Dutch game :D
Love your videos and this one is great as well. I usually don’t comment, but I really want that T shirt!!! Where did you get it?
Thanks!! He got it from a website called “Threadless”
@@BeforeYouPlay That’s a good site, got it!
Magnificent selection. I share the opiniom that you give of at least seven.
Well that was a surprise so see a Dutch copy of a game on your channel (Adel verplicht), never heard of it.
If you've played The Crew, I'm interested to see how it compares? I love the Crew (and trick taking games in general), so I'm tempted to back the 2nd edition on Kickstarter!
As a completionist, some of the games I’ll keep forever are more ‘series’ than individual games: 1st edition Descent, Android: Netrunner, Commands and Colors: Ancients.
Then there are the “grail games”, ones I pined for for years before I finally got them: Napoleon’s Triumph, Kanban EV and CO2: Second Chance.
There are a few that would be so hard to replace that I would hate to part with them: Starcraft, Gears of War
And finally, the favourites - not the “new hotness”, but enduring classics; several of which I’ve played hundreds of times: Tash Kalar, Fire in the Lake & Andean Abyss, SPQR, Mr Cabbagehead’s Garden
I know some people that love netrunner. I bought it and almost all the expansions and sold the set when they announced it was ending print. Never enjoyed it and I come from an MTG background. I never felt like when I won it was my doing but sheer happenstance.
Johari sounds interesting. I definitely want to try this
I have most of the Alea big-box series, which includes "Adel Verplicht" (#5 in the series). I would never let any of that series leave my collection. "Castles of Burgundy" is #14 in that series. Totally agree with Ginkgopolis, Obsession, Kanban original, Panamax, Feast for Odin (with Norwegians), Goa, and Bruges. I would never also never get rid of Die Macher, 1841, 1856, 2038, and all of my Splotter games.
