I think it's the most truth intro in the internet. I've nearly cry. 😂
I imagine for a lot of us teenager/young adults will be using this list as easy ways to get our disinterested easily confused parents playing
That could be a good list in itself
You would not believe how hard it was to teach my family sushi go party we definitely need a list for easily confused adults lol
Exactly. Im looking at this list for safety games whenever I have anyone over who is a bit Joe Biden
My go to game for people who don't understand games (and don't really care to) is The Climbers.
Adam would die for Lumpy..
Now that brings a sad, but joyful, tear to my heart.
If you know then you know.
My 8 year old and I are elbow deep in an Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps addiction. I feel so lucky.
ADAM: 😲
That is awesome! Hope it's going well
I have never laughed harder at an opening line. Well done Adam, you magnificent bastard.
Man, my kids are just a wee bit too young, but in like 2 years we’ll be playing most of these. Solid move for Dad’s, making this video was. Thanks.
Plumpy loves Lumpy!
That is the most loved copy of Qwirkle I've ever seen.
MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAME BETTER BE ON THIS LIST OR SO HELP YOU GOD, I will do nothing because this is your list and your opinions.
I really really like that there are a number on here you don’t see that often on similar lists. Great round up!
4:56 fun fact the guy who played Neville Longbottom now hosts the Leeds United Football Podcast and turns up to most recordings some degree of hungover, time flys eh
Castle panic, Tsuro, Camel up, welcome to the dungeon and ghost fighting treasure hunters were all a must with our kids :)
Yes, Ghost Fighting Treasure Hunters is a awesome intro into co-op games. My kids love that one too!
When you were basicly saying not to give the board games to children it reminded me in matilda mrs trunchbull was saying "much to good for children"
Best Intro EVER!
As a teacher, Adam, your intro was hilarious and the fact that you just dunked on kids for 12 minutes is great! Lol'd
4:22 You just had to add that Vince promo there right Adam? You marky mark!
I don't even *have* small children and Stuffed Fables had my jaw on the floor. I might just have to add it to my collection because... yeah, everything Adam said.
Im 27 and still laughed at the bum and poo stuff on scrabble.
I love this channel and look forward to the next list!
Of course Plumpy loves Lumpy
Mum of 3 here, all the shade you throw at kids hahaha 😝 keep the comedy coming, subbed!
I just watched this video yesterday. Today we were out at a flea market/vintage shop and I found a used copy of the tin-boxed, Anniversary edition of Labyrinth. I snagged it, of course! 👍 Thanks for the recommendation (and all the great gaming videos!)!
My daughter loves quacks of quedlinburg and quest for el dorado. Both solid family games in my opinion. Definitely going to give stuffed fables a go though! Great list!
I don't have kids but I have a niece and nephew, and while trying to share board gaming with them I actually played two games on this list with them to huge success: Qwirkle and King of Tokyo. Another game I played with them is Kakerlakenpoker which they also found very entertaining, but that may be because I absolutely suck at that game so that is a bunch of fun for them to watch me lose.
My kids have been loving Rhino Hero. Building them up to RH Super Battle.
My Little Scythe! One of our absolute favorites! It's also the first game in our top 10 video. :)
This became Adam dunking on kids for 12 minutes and I’m here for it
For little kids, I often recommend Sneaky Snacky Squirrels as an alternative to Candyland. It teaches color matching like candyland, but also adds a bit of strategy, and I’ve never been annoyed or bored playing it.
Forbidden Island is a game I recommend for anyone dipping their toe into the hobby. Great fun, good challenge, and best of all, under $20. So you’re not spending a lot of money if you’re not sure if you want to make a huge investment in games.
See also Don’t break the Ice as an additional recommendation for a game in the same vein as click clack lumberjack.
My wife and I are presently going through a renewed interest in board games and keen to see our 4 and 6 year old girls have some fun too.
Defn some stuff here we'll be checkingout!!
We've discovered a few gems in recent weeks.
- Rainbow Unicorns. Super cute and easy to learn. Great for 4-8yo
- Ramen Fury. Build and slurp three bowls of ramen before your competition. Super game and great for 6+ yo
- Fairy Season. Beautifully illustrated card game. Great for 6+ yo
- 5 minute dungeon. Super fun and cooperative game. Goes for.... 5 minutes. Great for 6+ yo
And last on our list
- Zombie Kids. Super easy to learn cooperative game. Great for 6+ yo
Kids games don't have to mean mind-numbing for adults.
Blessings.
Amazing list! I have labyrinth and the Harry Potter game and they are really cool! Labyrinth is really good with kids another game that I will recommend is Outfoxed! an awesome deduction game that is really great with kids!
Thanks for this video. I have two kids just reaching the age where we don't have to play Candy land every time. I've heard of some of these games, but had never seen them in play. And., a few I never heard of.....love that Lumber Jacks one! A couple of games out of .y collection that were easy enough to teach my seven year old and were fun for her are Cockroach Poker and Seikatsu. Can't tell you how proud and then unnerved I was when she creamed me at bluffing! We may try Jixia Academy next.
The funniest and best top 10 Board Games EVER!
Omg i ALWAYS moved as much as i wanted without using "in a straight line" rule in Hey that is my fish!
and was still a good game.. i now really want to play the correct version
How about a list of the 10 best Deckbuilders next? Also the 10 best expansions.
My younger cousins that visit every month want to play games that I play with my friends but are a bit too complicated for them. So I got a game that they love and cant stop playing. 13 dead end drive. Amazingly simple and very addicting to want to play again after you win
When I was a kid, a guy came from USA (I'm peruvian) named Pit, it was amazing, we had a bell and cereals, that's what I remember, also K'nex but Idk if that counts as a board game.
I bought Quirkle and Stuffed Fables after watching this. Good decision
Wonderful video, thank you.
So I'm going to collect all of these (in NZ wish me luck) When my two babies come to stay I can't wait thank you for helping out for the upcoming winter holidays
Forbidden island is one of my favorite board games ever, it’s so good! Also as someone who paints a lot of miniatures the stuffed fables minis look fucking awesome!
how do you get into painting minis. I have a bunch of unpainted minis in my games but I'm worried I'll permanently mess them up with my 0 experience in painting.
@@FatherTime89 first of all, nothing is permanent, you can always strip a miniature, but I would recommend watching a channel called Goobertown Hobbies, he is considered miniature painting’s Bob Ross, and his videos are wonderful for beginners.
@@noamtepper456 thank you
My sister's kids love playing boardgames with me. Their current favourite is Catan, yet just started and enjoying Flashpoint with them
A friend of mine has a couple of lil'uns and they're getting about the age to start playing games! I sent him this as soon as I finished watching!
Thanks for the Forbidden Island shout-out!
My top 5 games which I play with my kids (6 years old and 4 years old) are : Flamme Rouge, Fireball Island, Outfoxed, Ghost Fightin Treasure Hunters! and Horrified :)
I need stuffed fables
Immediately
I recommend Labyrinth with Super Mario them! My nephew is big Mario fan so, I gave him that as a Christmas present. Hi loved it!
Omg Adam absolutely buries children like ive never heard before.
My kids love Rush'n'bash. Mario Kart and Wacky Races hybrid as a board game.. yes please
I have played a surprising amount of the games on this list without any children (proving they're just as good for adults I suppose), but I'd never heard of Stuffed Fables! Sounds almost like a kid-friendly Mansions of Madness type of game, very interesting! Gotta check that out when I get the opportunity!
My 8-year old cousin has another game as his favorite though, namely Splendor! Just goes to show how a well-designed simple eurogame can be understood by, and appeal to kids as well!
thank you. bought some of these games, my kids now hate me more. they are moving out with my wife soon.
Freeeeeeeedooooomm at last!!
I am in my mid 30s and I bloody love King of Tokyo and I bloody would love to play stuffed fables. I gotta get me some kids asap!
Aaaaaand...... you're on a list
I saw Stuffed Fables at my local game store, my fiancee and I were both interested, but eventually balked as we looked at other things. As I have a 9 year old girl who's birthday is coming up, I think this might be a good purchase to get her more involved with our board gaming
I wish I had children so I could play Stuffed Fables with them.
You definitely don’t need children to play stuffed fables
I’m going to additionally recommend A- Bee-C for a “educational” game. You’re rolling letter dice to try to build three letter words to score cards. Fun game that my kids loved and a nice cheap price point.
For role players, I recommend No Thank You Evil! Very simple system that values imagination and thinking outside the box over mechanics. Plus adding outside material, like your kids’ favorite tv/movie/book characters, is super easy. Mechanics are simple enough that once the kids know how to play, they can run their own games.
Another fun RPG for kids is Adventure Maximus. Card based setup for character creation, and the campaign can be simply set up with the cards and a mad lib.
Bruh I had to pause the video to finish laughing two seconds in oh my word.
4:44 THAT IS HEIKKI SILVENNOINEN! HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT BEFORE?! SUOMI PRKL!
My four year old loves Hive, Quirkle, Bandido, and Patchwork.
This channel is superb
Lol. When you are older it works the opposite way.
Where to find game my parents would grasp that is yet interesting enough
Hi, there's this new card game called LAGIM. It is a Filipino folklore-inspired game composed of villain deck, lagim cards, lakas cards, and hiwaga cards. Launching soon in kickstarter.
My eight year old and I play board games for years. Smallworld, takenoko, king of Tokyo/New York, the Island... He's the best, I'm very lucky.
You should do top 10 racing games! Mostly because I just wanna hear you talk about my favorite game Flamme Rouge :)
Mental Blocks reminds me a lot of La Boca, though that is played in pairs specifically
Other family games I'd add would be:
Camel Up
Rhino Hero (which I know you've mentioned before)
Paperback (if they are interested in word games)
Downforce (for kids about 10 and up)
Stop Thief
Small Detectives (pretty much an express version of Cluedo)
I'm not a big fan of complex strategy games but I have friends who are. We found King of Tokyo and it is a fantastic game. My friends love it because of the strategy and I love it because it's not complicated.
You forgot the most family-friendly game of all: Blood on the Clocktower. Fun for the kids.
Here's a recommendation for a future video: Top 10 Tempting Board Games to Avoid. Basically, give warnings on a bunch of board games that sound like they'd be great, but are either bad or have other games that do the same thing much better. Risk is a good example of a game that might sound like a grand adventure but actually is deeply flawed. Also, I can't recommend avoiding Monopoly Gamer enough. Seemed like it might do for Monopoly what Risk Legacy does for Risk, but it's a trap. It has all the same problems that regular Monopoly has if not makes them even worse.
I think it would be quite strange for to make a Collection Starter video about games you shouldn't buy. Maybe if Adam would list off board games to buy instead of the tempting board games, but I wouldn't want the video to focus on the negative things. I love the positivity of this channel
@@IgyekSam That's fair.
I bet John Cena loves to play these games with the hungry children. Wabba-do!
Is that a reference to the John Cena Diary video because that is an ANCIENT reference and I’m all for it
Can any recommend games similar to "the hare and the tortoise"?.. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
As someone who works retail, the hated of children is something I feel on a spiritual level
Parents are wayyyy worse than children
Why do I get the feeling the next first rule of Board Game Club will be, “Children are awful”?
What about some dexterity games? Like RhinoHero Super Battle or Ice Cool. Or even Catacombs vs. Castles
Otherwise it’s a great list and I have almost all of these and played most with my kids.
Suggestion for a future Collection Starter: best licensed games (Hogwarts Battle, Villainous, etc.)
The enchanted tower
Outfoxed!
King Tokyo
Santorini
Blokus
Iceschool
Sheep and Thief
Those above seem to be ones that had most plays in our house (7-9 yr olds)
The following all great games but not as many requests to play as those above.
Barenpark
The three little pigs
Pyramid
Dr Eureka
Kingdomino
Animal upon animal
Forbidden island
Cubeez
Lumpy sounds familiar Adam
So, my favourite Childhood game was settlers of catan, But maybe I'm just weird.
I was 9 when it came out, and i saved for weeks to but it at my local supermarket.
Ahh good times.
"CHILDREN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" My reaction to them in a nutshell.
Technically Adam is right, people hate him because he speaks the truth,
I all seriousness, i don't want any kinds. I'll take care of my friends' kids but don't expect me to like to do it every day
We play in no ranked order: Clue, 13 Dead End Drive, Exploding Kittens, Unstable Unicorns, Pictopia, Jenga, Animal upon Animal, and CAH Family Edition
I want to bolster family game night with like... all 10 of these suggestions, and espeially Stuffed Fables
During Chinese New Year our family board game is Mahjong...and I have lost so much money to my both of my cousins who are around 8 to 10 years old...
Plumpy & Lumpy Connection
Hi. I played Monopoly earlier and I really don't get it because seemingly I'm a tiny dog who repeatedly wins beauty contests, on his birthday demands £10 from everybody he sees, but then bankrupts himself to stay in a hotel when he owns four houses on the next street.
It makes no sense to me. Seeing as though you're a board game channel, I was wondering if someone would please explain it. Thanks.
YESSSS! MORE BOARD GAMES! PUT THEM IN MY BRAIN! (also play Cosmic on BGC you cowards :p )
So, for the most part, I would agree with this list. However, there are some alternatives that could have been better. I love Hogwarts Battle, but my kid thinks that it is too scary. There exists Toy Story: Obstacles & Adventures, which is a more kid-friendly version of the game and still keeps many of the elements we like from Hogwarts Battle. Also, I'd recommend Forbidden Island's older brother Forbidden Desert. It's less punishing than Forbidden Island (on average), and we tend to like it even without the kids. (Also, Forbidden Sky for when they get older. It has you complete a circuit that has the little rocketship countdown and blast off...very satisfying when/if you win.) Lastly, I agree that Stuffed Fables is a great game, as well. It is similar to another board game, Mice and Mystics, which also has a similar storytelling aspect (and you play as mice akin to Redwall). A good alternative (although I will agree, Stuffed Fables is the better game for kids).
This video peaked 3 seconds in😂
This video is so much better than the one I watched previously. And not one of the same games is featured.
If you would die for Lumpy, don't play It Takes Two
No Dixit on this list?... I think Dixit is one of those games everbody can play. Because it has no text at all, reading is not required and kids tend to have a very good imagination. Also older people could like it because there is so little down time. Each turn everybody is engaged in the game.
Did a kid kill Bingli?
Forbidden desert is better! The sun beats down!
the problem with king of toyko is that the best tatic is just to got for vp on the dice rolls
We’re DEMANDING BLAIR’S TOP 10 BOARD GAMES
You got The hare and the tortoise rules wrong. The animals move when 4 of one animal have been played or 8 animal cards total have been played.
ADAM: I'VE BEEN PLAYING IT WRONG FOR YEARS
Great list.
I would argue that this is 9 Great Family Games having to awkwardly share space with a deck-building game that won't stop slagging off trans people.
did you make this list just to dunk on kids? be honest
I get you're trying to be funny but maybe don't do a video about kid's games if you hate them so much.
