My friends and family were not really into board games when I was younger. I did play board games with my friends but not very often. We mostly played outside; you know, jumping stuff on bikes before BMX's were a thing, swimming, doing stupid things, pickup baseball, dodging death playing lawn darts...etc. Having said that, I am going to turn the question on its head; there were a bunch of board games I wished I had from that time growing up: Rebound (I still want one today!), MouseTrap looked cool at the time, Dark Tower, Kerplunk, Simon, Othello, Battling Spaceships...or any dexterity-based game from the time I did not have.
Hi Jeff. I was pretty sure a Star Trek game would be your #1. Yay! Great list. I don’t have 10, but games I would have played as a teenager would be: Lords of Waterdeep, Dominion and just about any of the cooperative games I’ve played (Project Elite, Castle Panic, Star Trek Panic-although haven’t played that yet, Forbidden Desert, etc.) I see you’re at 935. You’re almost there, Jeff!
Like the list Jeff! Some that I wish were around (or that someone had show me): 1. Sanctum 2. Rift Force (maybe battle line/schotten totten) 3. Kemet 4. My Father's Work 5. Project Elite
Actually I played that one, and my response would be "yes and no." The rulebook is better, the card art and such is even better, the gameplay is a bit more varied, but it's a super-random dice-chucker. I played it with a buddy several months ago - maybe even last year - and our very last fight against Cobra came down a dice roll. We were off by one hit, we got one re-roll, I chucked the die into the air, letting it bounce all over the table... Miss. Failed. Was the most disappointing finale to a game I'd ever experienced. But I can see folks enjoying that one, especially for the nostalgia factor as well. I liked GI-Joe and had a good bit of toys, but was bigger into Transformers. Now, if they ever make a game about MASK or Centurions, oh boy!!! :D

Good list.
So many shoutouts! I was wondering why my ears were on fire today!
Haha I didn't have time to let you know!!

You would've been far more adventurous as a teenager than me!! Dominion and Lords of Waterdeep would not have caught my attention at that age!
@@TabletopToolbox I was a big fan of medieval history, fantasy and D&D…and Star Trek of course 😁

5. Project Elite
I think I need to try Project Elite... Dunno if it's my thing, really, but it sounds like it's a helluva time... :)
@@TabletopToolbox it's just a rollicking good time. Best played with extrovert friends. Let everyone know if you do get the opportunity!
I wish some easy to learn, but I love to play games were around earlier.
Star Realms
Project L
Boop
Then a few more complex
Clank
Innovation
i think the GI joe version of the deck building game was better from what I read
