I have a sesame street themed chutes and ladders board where there's a ladder from space 1 to space 100, meaning if you get a 1 on your first turn you win instantly
Kek, that's hilarious
That's a harmless laugh, it has more charm than most of these games
@@glumbortango7182 well yeah you can just play again. still kinda dumb though
I think I had that take as a kid omg
isn't the joke that chutes and ladders is typically played with two dice lol
It’s crazy to get to this point in life and hear the sentence “the Vanilla Ice Electronic Rap Game will endure Capital Punishment” for the first time

Sorry for the fourth reply but this youtube seizure that I'm seeing is insane. ALL the comments are wrong and my replies are going under random comments
I wish someone had the timestamp for this quote 😢
Absolutely insane that a game without a board beat a board without a game in a worst board game tournament
Yeah it kind of makes the whole thing a farce
shuttus
@@navebucketdudeno it doesnt
that "Super Deck was barely able to beat off Gay Monopoly" line is gold
followed by “Super Deck almost allowing it to come from behind from Gay Monopoly”
"Those that support Adultery are numerous" was also up there
What do you mean Pass Out has no skill element? If you die before finishing the game, you obviously lose.
on god this series is going to cause riots with certain lines taken out of context, the main one being "Those who support Adultery are numerous"
I will say straight up that War as the most top seed OVER ADULTERY is insane. Like... RIDICULOUSLY insane like Adultery was never NOT sweeping this bad boy how did it not instantly get the highest top seed
Whoever seeded this is a massive goober
Some people really don't like war
I think war works as the "this objectively has no strategic value" default for seed 1
@@kamsandwich Typo?
Because at least sex is fun.
Why would Secret Hitler even have nominations? Is it just because of the name of the game? Because otherwise it's one of the better social deduction games on the market. Like most of the time I would pick playing it over Coup/Resistance or Werewolf/Mafia.
Yeah, I was super confused as to why it was in all of those photos. I only heard praises about it.
@@kood995 I've only heard complaints from people who don't like the social deduction genre in general. But then they're not specifically complaining about Secret Hitler even though that's the game they were talking about.
probably for the funnies ngl
the only reason i could imagine a particular dislike for secret hitler, outside of a dislike for social deduction in general, is its political theme. though extremely surface-level, i could see people having takes the likes of "i can't stand any representation of hitler" or "it's just trying to be edgy by including history's most infamous villain"
Perhaps due to the circular strategy rendering the game almost unwinnable for fascists, but that's more of a friend group not banning unfair strategies problem than the game itself.
Still, it's not uncommom for people to rate social deduction games solely for how hard it is to play as the deceiving side. This includes how easy it is for the "civilian" side to come up with metagaming strategies to render the social deduction useless.
That or due to the political theming.
Not including F.A.T.A.L was just common sense. It would have sweeped the competition.
To anybody not in the know, in F.A.T.A.L you have to solve quadratic equations to calculate how far do you pee.
Yes. There is a peeing mechanic.
Yes. Peeing requires a skill check.
Yes. You can fail a roll at peeing.
i knew about the role for circumference... but quadratic equation??
As a point about Sorry, I would like to point out that there IS an advanced rule set recommended if ya don’t like chance games. Each player gets 5 cards, play according to directions on the card, draw back up to 5 after every card played. Makes it a MUCH better game.
thats the way i always play when i get the chance to, im surprised that this mode isnt the default
I love campaign for north africa: the desert war 1940-43, it has unique italian mechancis
The pasta rule!!!
Just about got knocked out of my chair by the number 8 stank region seed. Anyone showing up to board game night with that is getting excommunicated from the friend group.
("Oy Vey!" in case those reading this forgot/lost track)
I'd make an Exodus joke here but I'm not sure if that'd even remotely be kosher or not.
Don't be antisemetic.
@@deplorabledegenerate2630
I hope you're memeing so hard right now. The premise of the game is so over the top in stereotyping Jewish people. And sexist.
I think you could make something fun with the general premise. Call it "Overbearing Parents", make it a competitive 2-4 versus 1-2, kids want to follow their dreams while the parents tries to force them to give up their dreams.
I love how one of the semi final matchups, North Africa vs RPS, is excessively overly complicated vs so simple the product is totally unnecessary
would love to see a worst board game of all time: millennium edition
only containing board games released after 1999
Well that wouldn't really be "all time"
@@somuchnope2 maybe title it "Worst Board Game of the Millennium"
That cuts out a whole lot of crap that was shoveled in the 80s and 90s that deserves to be ridiculed too. So many movie, tv show, and videogame tie in board games...
@@deplorabledegenerate2630I think the point is kinda to cut out the "shovelware" of the 80s-90s board games
@@efad3215 fair enough, and honestly a lot of those games were okayish. They usually weren't ambitious enough to be truly bad.
“[Gay Monopoly] claims to support the gay lifestyle while also being neck deep in gay stereotypes”
as a gay, this is just how community talks to each other normally hahahah
It's like that tiktok guy who does the "what does your smash main say about you" says how gay men can call each other slurs as a treat
This very comment is a gay stereotype
"The Vanilla Ice electronic rap game will be enduring capital punishment" is a sentence I never thought I would hear in my entire life.
i have no actual basis for this, but my assumption and explanation for the obscurity of oy vey!’s origins is that it was never made to reach beyond jewish circles. it relies on stereotypes, yes, but it’s the kind of stereotypes that seem more like in-group jokes than out-group jokes, kind of like gay monopoly. if this is the case, the game is not nearly as offensive as it may seem to non-jews.
It’s funny how “WWB” lost to “What do you meme” because the former actually succeeded at what it set out to do
RIP my beloved Campaign for North Africa.
It made a very deep run, beating out some absolute titans, nothing to be ashamed of
Did not expect the Valefisk shoutout, let’s be real if his torture game was included it would hard sweep all the way to the final matchup
Yeah but what if Fatal gets out in? I think FATAL sweeps everything.
It sweeps war, adultery, and campaign at the same time
War can be made a lot more involved with a simple twist: you draw five cards, then choose which cards to use in which order, then when you're out you draw five more
So five card initial draw like Yugioh, and then selecting combat like MTG.
I can see that helping.
I remember I was obsessed with playing the game as a kid idk why it was just something I felt I had to do at my grandparents place and their card decks
Our War variant was that the player with fewer cards could wager their next 3 cards to make the player with more cards flip up a new card. This helped with taking back aces and kings, and provided significant enough risk that depended entirely upon the card you were going to lose. Are you going to lose a Queen? Probably a good idea to declare war. But if you're losing a 2, don't declare war.
You could only declare war once per round, because no limit to the number of declarations in a round ended games really fast, with the inevitable moment where someone wagered their entire deck.
@@frayzardwoah. Same exact thing here there’s so strange lol
There's a weird lil internet thing called Corru Observer that features a mini-game kinda built around such an idea
It's more of a turn-based fighting mini-game but it's interesting as you and your opponent have the same moveset and you get told one of their actions per turn in advance
The catch is as the other event it's tied to progresses, the total number of actions each turn ramps up (starting at 2 but peaking at I think 4), all while you're still only afforded one bit of intel per turn
"Enimies of the Vanilla Ice Electronic rap game" is now a phrase someone has said and we are all better off for it
if nothing else, this entire bracket has introduced me to VERY interesting games from all over the spectrum. I didn’t know board games went that deep!!
I once came up with a variant of "War" called "Attrition War". Here are the rules:
- Every card that would usually be stronger than 10 (Like King, Queen or Ace) is equal in strenght to a 10
- Joker has a strenght of 0, but a special rule
- Every turn both players draw 3 cards (One less for each entrenchement, as explained below), and place them face down next to one another, opposite to where the opponent places theirs
- Then, the conflict resolves between the opposite cards in the following way:
> All cards are revealed at once
> the card of lower value is removed from play, the card of higher value goes to your discard pile
> If one side played a joker, an ambush happens- both joker and the opposite card go back to their respective discard piles, and if it was opposed by a card of strenght 10 or above it's owner discards a top card from their draw pile
> Cards' value is increased by 1 for each neighboring card of the same symbol
> If your cards on both left and right win, the enemy is encircled- you automatically win in the center and capture enemy card into your discard pile
> If you encircle a Joker, that joker is instead removed from play and you discard top 3 cards from your draw pile (This stacks with joker's normal effect)
> If Joker is opposed by another Joker, Christmas truce happens- all cards return to their respective discard piles and no combat or special effects are resolved
> If opposite cards are of equal strenght, frontline is entrenched- both sides keep these cards where they are and remove from the game a top card from the top of their draw pile at the start of each of their turns and draw one card less, until one of them breaks a stalemate by supporting with a card of the same symbol or encircling an enemy
- If your draw pile runs out, shuffle your discard pile into your draw pile
The game ends in one of two ways:
1. If a side is unable to draw enought cards due to both their draw and discard pile being too small, the other side wins
2. If the entire frontline becomes entrenched, the player with more cards in both their draw and discard pile wins
I also came up with a faster variant where you draw 5 cards at the time but cannot encircle your enemy
Adultery seems like it was made for IRL swinger parties
Not really unless there's only one bedroom and swingers in question aren't comfortable having sex in front of other people
You gave me a heart attack by throwing Secret Hitler into the watch group
Seeing classics like Phase 10, War, Life, Monopoly in the near entries, and especially ones that are literally for your like three year old like Candyland…Candyland making it in and then moving up at all feels like of there was an “Ugliest Clothes” competition and a normal baby’s bib was somehow making people foam at the mouth in anger lol
I dunno, when a game's target audience ages out by like, 5, I think it's fair to say it might not be worth the retail price or shelf space. I figure most kids would have more fun with a rubber ball or box of crayons. But, worst of all time? You're right, no chance.
@@squmulonimbus Games should not have target audiences, instead they should try to be fun for everyone. (I guess that could also mean it’s target audience is everyone but really that’s just semantics)
@@algotkristoffersson15absolutely bonkers take
@@michaeledwards6683 Like I know they can’t ACTUALLY Be fun for everyone, but if they try then it will be fun for as many people as possible.
@@algotkristoffersson15 i agree that being fun for everyone can be a good goal in making a game, but with any artform or craft, there are always specific niches that can be filled and works geared toward those specific niches tend to have greater effect on people who fit that niche than works that appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Calling Valefisk a game developer feels... wrong. You're technically correct, but, like, come on.
Turns out he's listed as a Video Game Developer if you Google him. I thought that was funny and rolled with it.
I mean, he absolutely develops games, and he absolutely has some skill / knowledge in what makes a good / bad game, and he's done it repeatedly.
I'd say that 'Game Developer' is more a side-hobby-career for him than an actual title, like how Jimmy Carter is also a prolific house constructor while also having been a president and politician.
I was so damn invested in this that I audibly GASPED at work when RPS beat CNA at the semi-finals
Nice to see the compilation. All of it bundled together makes it perfect for background listening.
Wow, it's so weird this tournament is just 64 inclusions of Catan.
Tf did Catan do to you
@@littleghostboy7177killed his wife
Very curious why secret hitler was considered a possibility for the list. It's one I really like and among the people I have played games with, the worst opinion I have seen on it was more disinterest than dislike.
It's probably the whole "hitler" thing
@@becuaseimbored3481 It might be more so that its the only social deduction game people who hate social deduction games played. After all its the most recent popular social deduction game.
Project moon fan spotted
Because it’s just not a good social deduction game
@@eightcoins4401 I don't think it's just that I also think it's because it's to much of a party game for like the real tryhards. Be it people playing 10D chess with coup or playing blood on the clock tower in full cosplay those people are not going to spend a 100 hours playing secret Hitler and any game they wouldn't play a 100 hours of is bad to them.
I won't argue that Adultery is a good game, but I feel like you're really overestimating how much of a turn-off the strict rules and timing by a neutral third party is. If there wasn't a critical mass of people who get off on being forced to follows a strict ruleset while having sex the entire BDSM community would fucking collapse in on itself
"secret Hitler" is sadly a way too good deduction game to be anywhere near this list of worst board games.
I love the idea of this, but I think there should be a version that kicks out all the roll-and-move type games from the late 90's-early 00's since almost all of them boil down to having the same issue: low player agency and effectively playing themselves. It's like half the bracket are all the same game under a different name, some with slightly more controversial theming than others.
Edit: I didn't really think about it until after the fact, but all the games that are just "roll dice and keep score" are in a similar boat, like Bunco and LCR. Just a bunch of spots taken up by games that are more or less there for the same reason.
How was Secret Hitler even in consideration?
Same with connect 4
It's the deranged theme I'm guessing
dude is an irl 😎 emoji
Hello! I'd like to say this was an amazing compilation
i love the tournament style of this video and the fact you are the announcer
the dialogue is fun to listen to, much more so than if you had just spoken like normal
this announcer had me hyped for a bunch of games i'd never heard of, and it was a fun experience
as for what kind of videos to make next, all of those ideas you had at the end were awesome suggestions, straight from the source to boot
your earnest really shows, at least that's the impression i got from watching
you are a good content creator and i will continue to watch your vids in the future from watching this series
have a great day and thanks for reading
absolutely, i have never been this invested in board games and i am loving it
I don’t think people how bad “what do you meme?” Is, for prespective it came out 2016 and even back then the content it used was horrifically out of date, and being a meme game memes get stale as hell and when that’s the premise of your game it’s horrific. And it’s a cards against humanity like, which means your making horrible 2000’s esc top text bottom text memes. But that also doesn’t work as the “text cards” are often waaayyyy too long for the picture assosiacted with so you can’t even try and force this to be funny this game is so criminally unfunny and never hits that “it’s so bad it’s good” tier
The grand final I truly wanted to see was the meme machine going up against The Campaign for North Africa: The Desert War, 1940-43.
the reason: unlike RPS and Adultery that literally have no target audience, The Campaign for North Africa: The Desert War, 1940-43 and What do you meme? actually have a target audience and even their target audience thinks they're horrible.
Yeah it's literally just Apples to Apples with bad art
I feel like the north africa game is just as bad bc i Rather win a game because i can rather than not win a game bc you can’t win
I got it the year it came out when I was in college because cards against humanity was basically all everyone played. We were so excited for a new game like it. And it was just, so bad 🫠 Like everything was 4 years out of date meme wise which is like 25 in internet years. We played it once and then never opened the box again
What a genuinely fire video. This is exactly the type of stuff i love to see
It is surreal to me the level of venom that got thrown at "What shall I be: exciting game of career girls". People actually saying a product of its time makes it as offensive as those two Hammerhead games, or Adultry, or even Oy Vey which is arguably worse- your daughters become house wives.
Even comparing it to Ms. Monopoly. That was a game that should have known how patronizing it was and exactly how it would make every male player feel and went for it anyway. Career Girls was released in 1966.
It is like getting mad at some greatest generation grandparent, it just makes you sound insufferable.
The miss monopoly game is just dumb, Sure women shouldn’t make less than men. But they shouldn’t make MORE than them either. (That is assuming they are doing the same work)
Ms. Monopoly isn't even a game, it's a mean-spirited political statement. They didn't even do that well, seems more like it was designed to show why affirmative action sucks lol
Exactly. Saying a game from 1966 is too stereotypical is crazy. Its like yeah its from 1966. Its literally true to form for the time period
I agree completely. And besides, the careers listed in the game aren’t _bad_ careers, and are still very female-dominated in real life. Half the women on my dad’s side of the family are nurses, for example, and the elementary school I attended growing up had an almost entirely female faculty. As a little girl, I’ve wanted to be a teacher, an actress, and a ballet dancer at various points in my life.
Look at it not only through the lens of its time, but through the lens of a child. A little girl will likely see “model”, “actress”, and “ballet dancer” as glamorous careers that they look up to, and they’re very likely to have encountered teachers, nurses, and flight attendants in real life at that point in time. So those are all careers they already know are possible.
Nice to see this come to a conclusion. Can't wait for more brackets to relive this event.
I feel like the real reason FATAL didn’t get included was because it’s just so inexcusably horrible that it would’ve taken away all tension and just won instantly
I feel like I'd rather play a celebrity game that's super outdated than a new one because I get to learn about the past rather than a bunch of people I already hear too much about.
Also gay monopoly looks like it kicks ass, how did that end up on here
I honestly have no clue why it was on the bracket in the first place. I agree that it looks like it would kick ass. Yes, it is filled with gay stereotypes, but I get the distinct feeling that they were done as in-jokes that other gay people were supposed to get a chuckle out of rather than anything malicious.
@@kood995 Yeah the game was made by and for gay men to raise money for AIDS research (which makes it pretty messed up that Parker Brothers shut it down, especially considering it's clearly parody).
@@kood995 Yeah it was made by and for gay men and they gave the proceeds to AIDS research (which makes it even more messed up that Parker Brothers cracked down like they did, especially considering it's obviously protected as parody). People who are going "oh my god look at all the stereotypes this is so offensive" are missing the context.
33:23 I actually remember playing ungame with my therapist when I was a kid. I might have played this with my counselor, but that particular memory is a bit fuzzy.
Even the people playing the North Africa one irl haven't finished!
great vid, hadn't enjoy a video this much in a long while
It's like watching G1 CLIMAX, Super Jr. tournament, 2016 WWE CWC and AEW continental classic.
We need a best board game tournament! Or maybe best video game to board game adaptation?
I’d only support this just so he’ll talk about Deep Rock Galactic.
Pandemic getting a top seed for sure
The Ungame isn't fun to play, it's a therapy tool. But it isn't painful or offensive so it has no chance at being the worst. It's just the worst I've personally "played" because I've done therapy work with it.
As a game, The Ungame seems outdone by Group Therapy which has the added rule of "The rest of the group decides whether they think your answer was sincere or not". So it's not even the worst Therapy-like game in the bracket.
It'd be interesting to see a bracket of "games that have never been finished". Whether due to impossibly long run times, insane rules, or simple, overwhelming unpopularity. This would open up the floor to a bunch of games that have never been published and sold in stores, but should be titles that average boardgame players may be vaguely aware of existing.
I would love to see a worst card game tournament
I've been thinking about the Campaign for North Africa vs Public Assistance match up, and I'll say this: if you asked me which board game I would like to attempt to play at a family game night with my parents, I'd pick North Africa.
I'm at least curious to see if it's a game I'd like. It's at least interesting enough to want on my shelf and talk about. Public Assistance is a game I don't want any of my right-leaning relatives to see, or anyone in general thinking I own because I agree with it.
I remember as a kid, Candyland made me cry because i lost and i was so angry because it wasn’t even my fault. it’s so lame and there is zero skill or enjoyment to be had in it.
Honestly kind off tragic we never got a Adultery vs. Group Therapy Matchup because of how funny that Battle would have been. That being said Career Girls is just worse.
I'm late to the party, but that was such a amazing watch. Huge shout out to the hosts, I was so invested thanks to the excellent presentation ^^
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
I'm calling it. This is THE best UA-cam video of 2024. That said, I'm shocked Miss Monopoly beat out Mr. Bacon because as bad as Ms. Monopoly is, it has zero chance of KILLING you
You know after watching all 2 hours of this, you guys have made such a great case for Campaign for North Africa that I actually want to buy it.
What a great community. I'm jealous of you guys.
War and Sorry feel like games that have great core mechanics but aren't fun because of over-randomization.
But also both can be completely shaken up by letting players draw a hand of 3-5 cards and play those instead of just drawing
I did not realise how much I needed this
1:31:19 " helps people learn communicate better" that made me laugh. Great video :)
never thought i’d be on boardgame youtube but im happy to be here
1:45:24 "Those that support Adultery are numerous."
A sign of the times, my friends.
I can't believe I watched a 2 hour video where I felt invested in cheering on what ultimately became the winner and found a newfound curiosity for finding a way to play the North Africa game.
this is the best piece of media ive ever seen
What Do You Meme holds the distinction of being the only gift I ever got that I showed even a smidge of unappreciation towards while receiving it, and for that I will never forgive it. I still look back and am baffled at how it managed to do it, I've received utility bills with more enthusiasm than I had when I got that game. I know the gifter was well intentioned too, but just..... God
Real missed opportunity that for campaign for North africa, after saying that detractors don't like that it's long and bad, that you didn't say that fans like it cause it's long and bad, just repeat it word for word. Cause, like, the fact that it takes 20 years is surely it's biggest selling point
I feel obligated to inform you that Charm School is/was an actual thing. Private schools that focus on teaching young women how to navigate "polite society". The connection to becoming a model is still very very loose, but they didn't just make it up.
Hyped for the best board game bracket!!
"With a long line of victories in it's belt!"
What belt, it's not even wearing pants?
I'm actually annoyed to see pass the pigs here, thats a pretty good game, I think!
As a person who collects antique board games this video has broadened my horizons 😊
4:26 we play this everytime our family meets up somewhere around chistmas time, but it’s called left right center and we use actual money instead of tokens, really fun game.
53:35 in dnd you usually have a map you move around on in combat, as such it and in fact most TTRPGS are both pen and paper games AND board games, or at least somewhere in between.
And besides Tick Tac Toe is a pen and paper game but you included it anyway.
Totopoly is one that should get an honorable mention for being a game of 2 halves where the first half is about getting money and preparing for the race, betting on horses. But money doesn't actually matter because the second half is about getting your horse over the finish line, which involves rolling the EXACT number. So, you end up with a bunch of players at the end needing to roll a 1 to win.
I know it's because it's from 1969, but it's hilarious to me that Adultery feels the need to specify that it's ONLY for heterosexual cheating. Further limiting it on the "who would even play this" metric.
it took until i was 27 minutes in to realize it was 2 hours long.
1:21:45 i love the censor bar fading at the same time as the thing it's censoring lmfao
Tbh I feel like putting Adultery on the board as the only lewd contestant was sort of unfair to the rest of the games. The inherent shock value of a s*x game is going to capture the normie vote. Honestly, the entire ending of this was a wet fart. A toy vs. a game that only got this far because it’s about boinking.
The sheer excitement and hyping up of all the contestants is infectuous. Makes you want to make a new contender yourself.
Please look up the synonyms for "Convincing".
I love that valefisk’s torture game almost made it
I would love to see a redo with this once Chemicards comes out, it would do really well
I fucking love Phase 10. One mess up and your lead can be over. (And doing a full hand phase is fun to mess with people who don't have it down because it becomes more chaotic. I love it so much that I taught my entire college dorm room floor how to play. THAT was chaos at its finest, and I love it.)
god, phase 10. A snail falling over is more chaotic. Rather play actual rummy
@@logickedmazimoon6001 Opinions are opinions.
I could see myself enjoying it with friends where it’s moreso a background thing for hanging out, but every time I’ve played it was with my family and MAN was it a slog to get through. We’ve never finished a game of it because everyone got bored of it by phase 5. If you like it then more power to you, but unfortunately I am a certified Phase 10 hater.
@@bluejay21. Try Coup
I think there’s a genuine angle with Adultery being a gag gift. Like are we GENUINELY certain that the creators of adultery did not just come up with a game in 5 minutes to go along with their gag board game packaging of Adultery? It’s meant to shock in merely the TITLE more than in the actual content of the game. I do not think it has any value past those little fake boxes that you wrap in actual gift in that say “Vape for Kids” or whatever. Also the Stunk region is nominally the worst for letting such a playable and ironically enjoyable board game such as WDYM make the semis. Speak Out is definitely worse in my book, as WWB always felt like a copout answer for me, yet even with that, Speak Out rolls Adultery and North Africa 100 times out of 100. Says something for the balance of the bracket
I agree completely! The contempt that the Internet has for memes after their allotted 3 weeks of relevance has always baffled me. Personally, a part of me is still going to find memes from the past funny, and I’ve unironically repeated a lot of outdated memes in real life. What Do You Meme is a harmless and fun game and people’s contempt for it just shows how “pump-and-dump” meme culture has become.
YOOO I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ANGRY BIRDS GAME i wish i still had it 😔
I'm very disappointed to see that Outdoor Survival didn't make the cut. Any game where the players roll dice to stumble around in the wilderness at random before they die of hunger or thirst deserves a crack at the Big Dunce.
I clicked this video SPECIFICALLY because I collect Obscure and niche Board games, and I want to see if anything super weird shows up I can hunt down
I’m wondering where Exploding Kittens (the base game, as I’m not too familiar with the expansions) fares on this list. Seems to be pretty random to me outside of a few cards, but even getting those cards is random.
As someone who’s played a lot of it there is a decent amount of strategy involved especially with the expansions
54:00 Secret Hitler shouldn't even be mentioned in this contest
The fact that Monopoly Cheater’s Edition isn’t here is just, AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Wow what? Triominos is really fun!
all four semifinalists were somehow polar opposites of each other
52:28 also the exitance of the trading mechanic makes it not bad
Owning one of the two finalists means you are a chump, owning the other means you should not be allowed to interact with other human beings unsupervised, there was no true competition.
Please remake this next year, and only include one version of ludo
I'm surprised that Mouse Trap is not on here due to how long it takes to set up.
How is Careers not on here? That game sucks. It was the game that everyone seemed to have, but no one wanted to play.
The worst version of candyland was the one my kindergartner's "play" where I have to hold up a colored card based on the color they drew and they say the word. Additionally theres like 3 different games where all you do is draw a card, say the word you get it, don't you don't, and if you pull the specific card you lose all your stuff.
