    One really easy game to get into for your first board game is Twilight Imperium, really fun family game that is a great gateway game to the hobby

    Personally I hate that Monopoly has drastically skewed American perceptions of boardgames. Monopoly is a shit game and actively turns people away from boardgaming and totally stunts you to the possibilities you can have with better games. And it's so fucking prolific too.
    I'm one of the more hardcore gamers so anything on the 4-5 axis can really appeal to me.

      @@brayanargandonaflorentino548 The thing is monopoly wasn't even designed to be long, if you play the game by the rules it should be over in less than an hour.
      It's prolonged by people who came up with a ton of house rules to stop someone from stomping everyone else right away. Which ironically ignores the moral message of the original game.

  • @pantlesshobo2841

    "Betrayal at house on the hill" IS TOP TIER.
    its a coop (ish) game where you guys are trapped in a haunted house that expands as you explore it by placing a single tile on an unexplored place.
    It has an amazing theme and some great cards with small descriptors that really set the tone.
    you all work together in order to build up your characters by finding items, and exploring the house. you can also have your stats go down and you can even die if they are low enough.
    The thing that makes the game really good is the haunt aspect. At some point somebody will trigger the haunt by rolling the dice too low and then theres a book that will tell everyone what is happening. There are many different haunts, many that turn one of the players EVIL. you end up cooperating to beat a werewolf or to stop a growing slime from dissolving everything, or to get back to earth becasue the house is now on an alien planet, or maybe on of the players is now possed by a witch.
    Its INCREDIBLE, I can't it enough.

    • @westy1637
      @westy1637 2 роки тому +1

      I thought it was great originally, until some of the haunts fell incredibly flat with it either being far too easy for the betrayer, or damn near impossible for them. It became a very hit-and-miss game for me. The haunts I enjoyed, however, were memorable and fun to play out.

    • @Stirdix

      Not really a good game for people who aren't used to parsing board game rules, though, because the villain is alone and can't even be helped in understanding the rules. (And my impression was that the rules for the scenarios weren't the best-written things to begin with.)

    • @SpoonyBard88

      There is almost no GAME in that box. People just place tiles aimlessly for half an hour and then everyone gets a ton of rules dumped onto them.

    So my recommendations to start are ticket to ride, Lords of waterdeep, small world, harry potter hogwarts battle, and pandemic.
    other than those mentioned
    Lords of water deep is top tier for work replacement games
    Small world is risk without the total randomness of the dice, but power-ups for you armies and a time frame to not have the game go on forever
    Hogwarts battle is a co op deck building game that nicely levels up with the difficulty level/complexity a small group (up to 4 or 5 with an expansion) can deal with at the time.
    Most under an hour to play with the longest is maybe 90-120 min for a single game.

    Catan and 7-Wonders are pretty good starters. You can also increase the complexity of them with expansions once you get into them.

  • @DaRkLoRd-rc5yu

    My favourites for new players are coup(very quick 5 min rounds but i can play for hours), sushi go, zombiecide, galaxy truckers, 7 wonders, blood rage, hanabi.

    • @paulhamrick3943
      @paulhamrick3943 2 роки тому +1

      7 Wonders is amazing and it's often overlooked by board game obsessives because they've played too much of it and it has a somewhat generic theme. But at 3 players (my favorite player count) the game gets extremely tense.

      Get a boardgamesarena membership. It's 5 euros per month and you get access to incredibly well adapted board games worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can then play with your friends online (or even strangers). They have inbuilt audio-visual facilities. Best subscription that I've ever paid for

    I actually don't recommend that anyone new to board gaming start out with a cooperative game. I became obsessed with board games 4 years ago and I've had to learn the hard way which games you'll actually get played and which you likely won't. Here are my recommendations:
    Jaipur
    Carcassonne
    7 Wonders
    Dominion
    Tiny Towns
    Patchwork
    Furnace
    Chinatown
    Tammany Hall
    Space Base/Machi Koro/Bad Company/Valeria Card Kingdoms

    when they say "multi-day" I know they're thinking of The North Africa Campaign, which isn't just a board game but a bonafide WW2 pen-and-paper simulation. It taking multiple days is if you play the shortest ruleset, with the full ruleset a single game can last months.

      Here to slay is such a good iteration on unstable unicorns. They printed too many reset buttons into their first game, we’ve had a game of 8 players go 3+ hours with no end insight.
      Here to slay just ends so much more cleanly with a win condition that can’t be undone once a player makes progress.
