Cool list! Definitely different tastes, even within this one designer's oeuvre; just goes to show how impressive he is! Mine would be: 1. Yellow & Yangtze 2. Through the Desert 3. Medici 4. Ra 5. Orongo 6. Stephenson's Rocket 7. Rapido/Excape 8. Voodoo Prince 9. Botswana 10. High Society
High Society is my favorite Knizia game! I always feel like I’ll be judged for saying that, so I’m happy it ranked so well on your list! I feel vindicated.
Very cool list. I wish I could see a top 10 Vladimir Suchy games next, I was recently searching for a list about him (cos I really loved every single game I played from him) and couldnt find any on UA-cam. Maybe you guys could consider doing it on a future video? 🥺
No Modern Art? If there’s any doubt Knizia is one of the all-time greats, the ability to make a top-10 list and leave off one of the best games of all time is incredible. He’s amazing. I need to try High Society!
I think Samurai is one of my favorites. I still have a lot of his top games i need to play (T&E, Ra, Amun-Re). I like Kingdoms and Battle Line a lot too and we're gonna play El Dorado tonight!
Shotten Totten or Battlelines (minor variations on each other). Quo Vadis or the more recent Zoo Vadis reskin. But for quick, easy, and surprisingly good nothing beats En Guarde, his ultra-simple but ultra-subtle fencing game of moving closer or further from your opponent to try to land an unparried hit.
If I were to pick my absolute favs: 1. Ra 2. Blue Moon Legends 3. Tigris & Euphrates 4. Samurai 5. Kingdoms / Beowulf [for 2 players!] 6. The Quest for El Dorado 7. The Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation 8. Carcassonne: The Castle 9. Amun Re 10. My Island Honorable mentions: Medici vs Strozzi, Through the Desert, Modern Art, Traumfabrik
Very good job! The Knizia games I own are: LLAMA, High Society, Lost Cities, Pumafiosi, Royal Visit, Taj Mahal, Whale Riders, Battle Line, Ingenious, Medici, Quest for El Dorado, Through the Desert, King’s Road, Ra, Modern Art, Tower of Babel, Blue Lagoon, My City, Samurai ➕Medici: The Card Game.
Amun Re is our group favourite, but he's also released the fantastic auction game Reif für die Insel this last year which basically combines elements of High Society, Amun Re and Karate Tomate. Loads of silly fun. Great to see Witchstone on this list too. Its amazing but passed soany people by.
Yellow & Yangtze (where the new version is Huang) is my favorite but I was extremely surprised about the very recently shipped Cascadero. Cascadero has like the simplest of rules but sooooo strategic that my friends and I were pleasantly exhausted after the first play XD
Thanks for the list! Another idea: Top 10 Least Favorite Knizia Games… Again, when you have designed over 600 games, there are going to just be some that aren’t as good of a design - and/or didn’t hit with you!
I only know about The Lord of the Rings, and LOTR Confrontation. Tigris & Euphrates, High Society, The Quest For El Dorado and Ra look interesting though.
So many good games, so many I’ve not played, but my top 10 is High Society Schotten Totten Mille Fiori Marabunta El Dorado Lost Cities Blue Lagoon My City Ra Babylonia

That summary of Lost Cities is… not all that close to the rules! 😂 But it is a great game-and nice list!

Honestly modern art is kinda meh
The two of them would not understand what a good game is if they tripped on it 😀
I think Samurai is one of my favorites. I still have a lot of his top games i need to play (T&E, Ra, Amun-Re). I like Kingdoms and Battle Line a lot too and we're gonna play El Dorado tonight!
Have you played Babylonia? I heard that one is really good - especially if you like Samurai!
@@JJ_TheGreat that's on the "need to try" list too!
E&T, Samurai, Medici, Amun-Re, Modern Art, Through the Desert, Taj Mahal ... the list of excellent Knizia titles is a long one!
Shotten Totten or Battlelines (minor variations on each other). Quo Vadis or the more recent Zoo Vadis reskin.

My No. 1 Knizia is also Quest for El Dorado. It's one of my favourite games of all time.
Amun Re is our group favourite, but he's also released the fantastic auction game Reif für die Insel this last year which basically combines elements of High Society, Amun Re and Karate Tomate. Loads of silly fun. Great to see Witchstone on this list too. Its amazing but passed soany people by.

I’m a big fan of the Good Doctor’s auction games. My favs are Ra for lower player counts and Medici for higher player counts.
Thanks for the list!

I’m playing through My Island and love it.
I know it isn't everything but it's amazing that Reiner has no games in the BGG top 100
Keltis (the pretty Lost Cities board game) is a big favorite of mine.
Mille Fiori got robbed off this list!
I like Wiener Walzer, because it's all about trying to eat food off the floor.
Battle Line. I have played this till my cards are ragged, and I haven't even tried the optional cards yet!
So many good games, so many I’ve not played, but my top 10 is
High Society
Schotten Totten
Mille Fiori
Marabunta
El Dorado
Lost Cities
Blue Lagoon
My City
Ra
Babylonia
Through the Desert is my favorite game. I understand that it's not yours, though.
17:43 So it is similar to Last Will, then (at least thematically)?
In MLEM they should name their plannet Purrth... Just saying.
Hmm surprised to not see any of
Modern art
Dream factory/nightmare productions
Amun Re
Schotten Totten/Battle Line
The number one game IS Traumfabrik.
0:09 😂😂😂😂😂😂
New designer, lol!!!!!!
i think equinox is also good!!
Question can I post a file one BGG of a game i fan edit of a board game. to share to other fans of game to have more gameplay?
Yes you can.
This is like two vegan guys trying to describe the top 10 meat dishes.
Well, I like Ra-Dice, Huang, Taj Mahal, Shotten Totten better.
