If you think ranking lists is so easy, then you do it! We're super excited to announce that The WatchMojo Game is here and available now on Amazon!
How about YOU making your own video instead of stealing other people's work? Have some decency and delete this video. You didn't ask permission to any of the original creators. Hell, you didn't even credit them!
Is part of the game taking other people's videos without asking them? And deleting their comments when they get rightfully upset? Because that sounds like a blast and would really replicate the Watch Mojo experience! Or can we just google board game videos and take the first 10 videos we find? Wow, this game is getting better and better by the minute!!!
My favourite boardgame is 'Strip the content of other content creators for financial gain without asking' - I see you've played it already...
Ha! :-D
Yeah, wondering if permission was given from Shut Up and Sit Down, Watch It Played, and so many others.
@@WayneHumfleet Both 3MBG and Watch It Played have stated that they were not asked.
Meh
Lol
It's disappointing that you didn't reach out to the content creators, or at the very least, link to them.
They marked the beginning of each game with the channel it is on. That isn’t enough?
@@stevefratus1546 Well-put Steve. I don't know why a hand-full of people feel the need to criticize Mojo. But recently I have noticed this becoming a trend against Mojo..... perhaps when you don't agree exactly with an opinion, then best to look for reasons to be critical of the source!
@@Rikolus8383 maybe because a channel with 24 million subscribers could be bothered to check out a dozend board games. And frankensteining the work of others is not mitigated because their names flashed on the screen, hardcoded and for two seconds. If at all, it makes them appear as collaborators, which they are not
Because that is everything that is wrong with UA-cam.
Cheers.
What is with WatchMojo stealing other UA-cam videos to put in their own with no request to those creators or even any links to their channels? Quackalope and 3 Minute Board Games are amazing channels and work really hard to produce amazing videos, but the big channels are apparently allowed to straight up steal and repurpose their content?
You missed it. They give credit on every section.

Not all heros wear capes. I appreciate your sacrifice!
Never heard of any of these wtf
Thank you. This saved me from having to watch the video, and for that, I am thankful.
@@yehhhremix2810 Ticket to ride(don't have it yet but heard it's good one, but not best), Pandemic (good game), Wingspan(don't have it but heard it's good one, but not best)... And yes "WTF"
I recommend Terreforming Mars, Caverna, Cosmic Encounter, Ark Nova, Love Letter, Great Western Trail. Root, Deception - Murder in Hong Kong, Roll to the Galaxy and Summoner Wars. Out of the list given I think 7 Wonders, King of Tokyo, Lords of Waterdeep, Wingspan and Ticket to Ride are the good ones.
My favorite part of this list was seeing the board game youtube channels.
Too bad they didn't get permission to use those clips nor did they post any link or credits to those creators.
Would've been more accurate to call this "Top 10 Best Board Games For Those New To The Hobby". Also, shame on you for not reaching out to creators! For that reason alone I'll not be subscribing!
For that reason alone, I disliked the video.
I agree ... these really aren't the most popular games. Nor are they
all best sellers. So who suggested them for this list? Pretty sure
those people would have their minds blown, if they played some of
the games they've not taken the time to learn.
No Gloomhaven, Nemesis or Terrraforming Mars?
Terraforming Mars is my favorite. I play that with my brother and father once or twice a week.
Yeah this top games is messed up. Some of them are really low in quality compared to others. And I add Twilight Imperium 4, Twilight Struggle and Root that would have been better than some given in the video
@@Z4ng3tsu67 While I agree, also understand that this is a pop culture channel, not a board gaming one. So, seeing these games makes me happy as it's usually Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, etc.
Man of culture
I was going to say the exact same thing. Terraforming Mars is almost always top 10 on most gaming channels especially now with their Big Box release. It's freaking awesome and Nemesis is just bad ass. I would add Cthulhu: Death May Die, Blood Rage, Kingdom Death Monster, and the Zombicide Series. I think these games are much better than any on this list.
Zombicide is a fun co-op board game and Secret Hitler gets some good table conversation going
Zombicide is the best. I love the character upgrades and the artwork on the playing tiles is insane
My wife still holds it against me that I had her fooled so badly as Hitler. She doesn't know who she married. It may destroy our marriage, but it was a ton of fun!
I hate games where the premise boils down to "You're the bad guy!" "Nuh-uh! They are!" "No you are!" "No you are!"
It's like kids fighting in the back seat of a long car ride...but as a game.
I'm not sure if these are the best but they have definitely all influenced the board game community. This is a great list!
Not the best for me.
This was definitely meant to be the “Top 10 Best Games for the Average Person”.
Dice Forge should have not been an honorable mention.
Didnt even mention, terraforming mars easily number 1
@@kellystrickland5504 Plenty of obvious picks for best games aren't on the list. Terraforming Mars, Gloomhaven, literally any deckbuilder...
All the games in honourable mentions section had better games then the top 10 list.
@@williammalone2057 = I don't know about all of them ... But Carcassonne not being
on the list, where Wing Span did make it, immediately revokes their selection card.
Heck, I'd prefer Mundus Novus, Harbour or Alhambra over Wing Span. And even
though I like Pandemic, there are a several better co-op games than that.
Terraforming Mars is a staple in our house. The mechanics are such that it’s a different game every time - it rarely gets repetitive. The expansions are natural to the game and doesn’t make it cumbersome like some games can. It’s been a well thought out game.
Same with our gaming group, GG. It is the One glaring omission. But I believe Mojo concentrated on lighter fare.....
This is a great game! We love it. But, since we have all the expansions, it can be a long game :p
I agree... I thought we'd see it between the honorable mentions
@@Rikolus8383 speaking of lighter fare, I thought we'd see kingdomino. I guess we need a top 50 or something like that xD
I came to the comments to find this, and didn't have to look far. When you talk about engine-building games, you have to mention TM.
They knew what they were doing with that thumbnail
Mayyyybeeeeeeee
Amm... What were they doing?
Yeah, they knew they were ripping off tabletop channels for views.
While I wouldn't say these are the "Best" (but hell that's an impossible list to make) I will say this is an amazing list for people coming in to the board game hoby as a whole! Every game listed is pretty easy to learn and pick up and is very welcoming to new people to the hobby! Great list!
I agree, except maybe Agricola
The list wasn't Best Gateway Games, it was supposed to be Top 10 Board Games of the Century. It's a joke.
No Gloomhaven? That's literally no1 on BoardGameGeek, deserves a spot on the list
I feel this is designed for new people to the hobby not quite the best. And I definitely would not recommend gloomhaven to anyone new to the hobby don't get me worng tho great game! 😅 I just think they were going for something a bit different!
@@TheDavidorse123 Yeah, it does look like a list for people who don't play that much, but if that's what this video actualy is than the title "Best Board Games of the Century" is kinda misleading and over the top to be honest ;p
There's always "Jaws of the Lion" ... my 7-year-old daughter enjoys participating with the rest of the family on this one.
Twight Struggle and Puerto Rico have both been much longer #1 this century and are not mentioned.
@@TheDavidorse123 then the list should be called “top ten games of the century for people who have never played board games” not “top ten games of the century so far”
I’m watching this on my break at a board game cafe ❤️🎲
I remember playing snakes and ladders as a kid, and went up the snakes and down the ladders 😂

@@bdgza ahhh, makes since now
So happy to see you guys did a board game list!!! We own/have played the majority of the games featured here! Hope to see more board game lists soon!
WHEATON !!! I loved table top, wish it was still around
Don't we all!
I got into gaming because of Wil Wheaton's TableTop. It was a good 4 season run, and plenty of games - granted, just a small sampling of the many games available - were showcased.
Coincidentally, my friendly local game shop is also called TableTop.
Me too
It got me into boardgaming as an adult after I had forgotten how fun it was growing up.
My current favourite game is isle of cats. It has great game play and fantastic components and artwork.
How about Dominion? Came out 2008 and already has multiple expansions! Definitely should have been on this list.
Exactly. I feel like this list is incomplete w/o Dominion
But, wouldn't that be classified as a card game, rather than a board game? Then again, so is Machi Koro...
I would have loved to see Three Dragon Ante, too.
@@breannalarsen693 on BGG they are mixed together... rarely there's a pure board or pure card game, usually there is some combo of different mechanics including cards, dice, tokens etc... so Dominion expansions bring these elements in - to be very strict one could say that unless there are some other mechanics involved then Dominion is a card game. Leaving this aside they omitted many much better games. I wonder what was the key there.. entry level? popularity?
Dominion essentially created the deck building genre as its own thing
Dominion may not use a board, but it ought to qualify as it's spectacular. It's just semantics at that point that aren't helpful. If you're stuck on a technicality, I won't argue further with you.
If you count Wingspan as a board game, you could implement Dominion similarly if you wanted to with isomorphic gameplay, again suggesting it's just semantics at this point.
Would loved to have seen The King's Dilemma on this list even if was low. Loads of fun.
I was kind of expecting five tribes, sheriff of Nottingham, splendor, or small world. However, this was a solid list regardless. Looking forward to another decent list in the future.
Yes, four more worthy choices, especially Splendor.
I love when you do board game videos! It would be interesting to see a list of board games with the most expansions . . .
No particular order, my favs are
Root, King of Tokyo, Ticket to Ride, Suspicion, Horrifed, and the Forbidden games (Island/Desert/Sky created by the creator of Pandemic)
I'm all about STAR REALMS.
This deckbuilder game is easy to pick up, quick to play, and fun for one-on-one or even multiplayer.
Yeah, I'm surprised we didn't see any of either Star Realms, Ascension, or Dominion. It seemed like their list tried to incorporate many genre defining games, so it was a shame to see deckbuilders go unrepresented.
Ticket to ride!!!! LETS GOOO!! I can play that game for hours. I’ve played almost all of the rest that are mentioned and this is a very solid list. I do feel like there are some that deserved some attention that got none though.
My family never was a board game family, we never had one in the house. On a friends Christmas party (small gathering of 5) we played Ticket to Ride. I fell in love with the game and got it on Amazon the next day. Brought it to my parents for Christmas and everyone fell in love with the game. Every time I visit, we play.
This was a much better video than I thought it would be in regards to the info provided for each game. Well done!
Gaia Project, from the creators of Terra Mystica, is by far my favorite board game. The artwork is incredible, and the fourteen factions are balanced and well-designed. Picture Catan in Space and much more complicated and strategy-oriented.
Love TM and Gaia both!
Loved Starfarers of Catan. Kinda complicated at first but super fun.
Nice video, I have played 8 of the 10 and own 5 of them. I think other honorable mentions are also good and I would also add Reef, Tikal, Potion Explosion, KingDomino. I used to say one of my favorites was Puerto Rico. One really good thing about that game is that you do not spend a lot of time waiting for players as when anyone does an action, everyone then does that action so the time spent waiting is less.
I didn't expect to see them here, but I still think Calico and Sagrada deserve honorable mentions.
They're beautiful drafting puzzle games with fun themes that are constantly challenging
This list is awful. They're missing iconic games like Azul and Castles of Burgundy, as well as the best rated game three years in a row: Gloomhaven.
@@sewaprolo There are a ton of games they could have mentioned, including lighter games such as Calico, Sagrada, Azul, and Castles of Burgundy. But I certainly would not expect a daunting games such as Gloomhaven to be on the list. Even Jaws of the Lion is a stretch for what I believe is the target audience of this video. I would have every Lacerda games on a list like this if it was mine!
@@PamWD yes, but the name of the video is "top ten best board games of the century," and gloomhaven definitely fits that category, regardless of difficulty. It's not called "top ten best board games that are suitable for uno card flinging dumbasses" or something along those lines.
@@sewaprolo I disagree with the people this may be targeting in the terminology you used or anywhere close to it. It's rather insulting. It's the opinion of the people who did the list, plain and simple. It didn't say it was a list of top games on BGG, or something along those lines. If it bothers you this much you could just ignore it and move on.
@@PamWD this list is still trash, much like your comment. If my opinion bothered you that much, you could've ignored it, too, yet you still felt the urge to make an idiotic comment...
What's ironic is that I just came from watching an ASMR where Cupquake used some dice that were probably from role-playing games I haven't seen those in a while it had multi-sides obviously
I will never be tired of playing Twilight Struggle. My absolute favourite
It’s a pretty bold quest to take on a list like this. Board game geeks have been arguing about this for a long time. (Just search top ten board games on youtube😂). But the real winners are people that get exposed to board games. Good on you Watch Mojo 😀👍
Now i feel ancient after realizing how old Snakes & Ladders
How I miss Will Wheaton's Tabletop series. He is what got me started on board games all over again. He just had an awesome Charisma, sure Becca Scott is awesome but damn is Will Wheaton just brilliant.
*Wil
He's a wonderful person. I follow everything he puts out and it's so lovely seeing him grow from his TNG days
What happened to him?
@@pricelesssword4559 cancelled
@@M8cool cancelled? Over what?
Great list of games that doesn't require hours of rule reading, maybe make a similar list for complex board games?
I was not expecting a hobby board game list from this channel. I was pleasantly surprised
They missed my top three: Dead of Winter, Citadels, and of course, Twilight Imperium.
it is a casual gamers list never expect TI4 (or 3) to be in any list it's just crazy to play over 8 hours of board game...
i'm a board gamer don't worry but I didn't even try to spend half of my day on the same game even if it's epic and those kind of shananigns which i don't care about a tall
Dead of winter ...what a game.
Good. Twilight Imperium takes a full day to complete. If you're lucky.
Dead of Winter is so much fun
Can't argue with TI. However, that is not a game for beginners. New gamers like fast-ish games that can be done in under an hour or two. TI is very complex and strategic, and famously takes at least 6 hours to play.
I feel like 2020 itself was a boardgame
Me: Top 10 games, no way they do this right.
Mojo: #10 Powergrid
Me: Alright, alright. You've got my attention.
And then they have some Machi Koro or King of Tokio but no Puerto Rico, Agricola, Gloomhaven or Terraforming Mars which have easily been the milestones of the hobby.
Literally that's the only reason I didn't close the video sooner.
@@miguelcarrillo4603 yeah, certainly a few that could have been left out. Machi Koro? No thanks.
I agree with Robert though, Puetro Rico should have been included. I can make arguments for why Agricola, Gloomhaven, or TM were excluded.
My Board Games; Chess, Checkers, Scrabble, Snake&Ladders. My Card Games; UNO, Monopoly Deal, Exploding Kittens
Betrayal at the House on the Hill and Castle Panic are must haves. With 50 different scenarios you never know how Betrayal will end, Betrayal also has an expansion that features 50 more scenarios that can take place when youve played all 50 of the base game, and Castle Panic is a 2 to 6 player co op tower defense game that EVERY ONE of my friends owns it also has 4 expansions!
I have a love/hate relationship with BETRAYAL. I Should have been great! However, my copy virtually never sees the table. Everyone LOVES the early part of the game. BUT once the Betrayal occurs, it goes South. Too many of the storys are weak, confusing and worst: lead to arguments over What has to be done for Victory. I would have liked the game MUCH more if they had cut the Number of scenarios in half, then DOUBLED both the amount of story AND made the RULES and VICTORY CONDITIONS absolutely concise..... no misunderstandings or other b/s that leaves players confused and let down.
Betrayal is a bad game. It's mechanics are boring and there are better traitor games out there.
Best games usually are different based on people you play with. When I’m with my Improv comedy team, It’s Superfight, and we act it out. My parents, in their 60s, and my siblings only play card games like Uno or Phase 10. My geeky friends and I like any of the Arkham Horror based games, and my son and nephew and nieces and I love co-op games for families like Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert. I have a few in my collection that I wish I played more, but they require getting a friend from one group and some from others. This video was a fun one.
Arkham Horror, for sure! The only time I get to play with anyone else is online. :/
1. Concordia
2. Viticulture
3. Twilight Imperium IV
4. Memoir 44
5. Scythe
That was a really good list.
Thanks a lot.
I would also recommend:
Castles of Burgundy
Orleans
Castles of mad king Ludwig
Azul
Aeons End
Quacks of Quedlinburg
Luxor
Stone Age
And if I may be so bold to give a shout out to my own design Targi, I would recomand that for just two players as well.
Targi is an excellent game!
The rest of you list is spot on too!
@@TabletopRebellion thanks a lot 😀
Please! More board game videos! It's one aspect of entertainment I feel WatchMojo hasn't dug into significantly yet. Think of the lists (Top 10 Euros, Horror, Ameritrash, Legacy, Worker Placement, etc.)! I also think high production instructional and versus videos would be helpful to the hobby. Anyway, consider it, please!
I love WatchMojo but there are so many excellent boardgame video channels out there. You should try The Dice Tower for starters
Yeah, there’s plenty of great board game channels already. The Dice Tower does tons of top 10 lists and are far more knowledgable than anything you’d get from Watch Mojo, who are clearly out of their comfort zone here.

@@marks6928 Oh for sure! Also, No Pun Included and RTFM. I just think it would be interesting to see a sort of zoomed-out take on the hobby. It could be a good gateway for some people to transition into board games. Plus, the production value on some of the more popular board game channels isn't the greatest and I'd like to see some gloss on my meeples and minis :)
The Battlestar Galactica board game should be on here! It’s amazing!
Yes boardgames. I love them. I am a geek. I have all of them. How much do you have? My number one is Terraforming Mars
You got a lot of board games you mentioned here that I've got to try and frankly never heard of but then this is some new classics that are just good for a party like apples to apples
Nice video and editing. Very surprised that you all did not add where you sourced all videos in the low 3rds portion of this video, not all but some, like utilizing SU&SD, Watch it Played, Tabletop and so on.
IMHO, Dice Forge should be more than an honorable mention. It should be in the ranked list. It's one of the most unique games I've ever played. The mechanic of actually CHANGING the numbers on your dice is like nothing I've ever seen before. The powers you get from the cards just add to the fun.
hahaha since when!?!?!?!?
you can always do those content for me
Great entry level choices!
Disney Villainous and the expansions are one my family’s favorite games! A little more complicated at times but a fun way to let out your wicked side!
My wife and I love Norsaga. We learn to play at Gencon years ago.
The?
@@AnkitSharma-fu9io Google it!
@@kennethmorrison6321 I know what norsaga is , but you've written 'the' instead of 'my' . Anyways , hello there!
Mansions of Madness 2nd edition is my favorite for sure!
Good list! You’ve brought up some seriously popular games from the past 21 years.
I actually keep a list of my ten favorite games (keeps changing because I keep buying) with a few Honorable Mentions thrown in:
My Top Ten Board Games
- Lords of Waterdeep
- Trogdor!!
- Clank! Legacy: Acquisitions Inc.
- Wingspan
- The D&D Adventure Series
- Hardback
- Scythe
- Conquest of Planet Earth: the Space Alien Game
- Relic
- Tales of the Arabian Nights
Honorable Mentions
- Blood Rage
- Horrified
- Reavers of Midgard
- Above and Below
- The Dresden Files Card Game
Good List Norman. And rather eclectic! I had been taught Champions of Midgard and thought it was good..... til I played Reavers, which is even better.
Clank! Legacy 👌 that is an amazing game right there.
Great list! I need more board game videos plz
Villainous, Zombiecide, Dead of Winter, Horrified, Joker, Unstable unicorns, Gloomhaven and Codenames are all easily honorable mentions. Would love to see this as a top 20. Great picks for the top 10.
This video is specifically board games. As much as I love Codenames, it's a card game. At least the version I've played. :)
@@nathanhamming3099 While it falls under several sub-categories, including card, game, party game, word game, and deduction game, it is still considered a board/table game.
With Gloomhaven being #1 on BGG I expected to see it on here.
If we are talking table top in general, then I have to recommend Dominion a deck building game. while previous experience in a deck building style of table top games is not necessary, the learning curve on how to strategize does mean beginners luck (the luck of the draw does come into play on occasion) rarely ever results in a beginner's victory, however since victory is obtained by having the most points compared to your 3 opponents I have seen 2nd and 3rd place finishes largely because of the phenomenon. A game is fairly short 30-45 min on average (rule of thumb add about 10-15 per new player). Setup can take a bit especially when you add the expansions, however once you and you table top group get the hang of it you will be hooked I can almost guarantee it!
I barely know anyone who plays Dominion but I’ll never regret buying it because it’s so fun
remember when board game adverts were the best ads to see as a kid? miss those days
Viticulture.
just so much depth, you have lightbulb moments after lightbulb moment as you work out the subtleties.
I have enjoyed Rising Sun. It’s got a great theme and beautiful art.
My favorites are It's a Wonderful World, and Century: Spice Road (especially when combined with Century: Eastern Wonders) -- let's just say the "Century" family of games. I also love Santorini.
The Century trilogy definitely belongs on the list. I also think Splendor and Reef are strong candidates.
This was a list of 10 fun board games, I can totally agree with that.
Castles of Burgundy is at the top of our list.
Watch Mojo hit us up, we can help you write your script next time. 😀
Where's Gloomhaven!?! I mean it didn't win Board Game of year 3 years in a row for nothing!
And they put pandemic legacy, thought just as a side of pandemic, the legacy of it was one of the worse I played, the game makes it more worth it to lose than to win every game, and it's without consequence
Can't believe Gloomhaven isn't on here is only win like every award known to board games
To be fair, Gloomhaven is far too heavy to be on this kind of list. Furthermore, it's indubitably a great game (I personnaly really enjoyed "Jaws of the lion"), but it hasn't reached nearly as many people (especielly casual players) as games like Ticket to ride, Pandemic, 7 Wonders, Agricola, King of Tokyo... But I would agree that they should have named this video : "The most popular (good) board games" instead of "the best". (by the way, Gloomhaven had a lot of award nominations but only won prizes in the US, it missed both the Spiel des Jahres and the As d'or in Europe).
God I miss table top.
Hands down the most played in my house and my favorite game is Dice Throne. It is a 1v1 Yahtzee style game with cards. You take 1 of 16 unique characters, with board and pamphlet of powers and roll your dice. "Look I have done 12 points of damage to you because I got a large straight 2,3,4,5,6. opponent says "not this time. I thrown down my helping hand and make you reroll your 4 and you get a 2,3,5,5,6. I break up your Large Straight and you don't have anything. I take nothing" The close second is Dice Throne Adventures. Instead of 1v1 attacking it is a 1-4 player dungeon crawl with the same characters but you are facing minion's and monsters to kill the ultimate Boss.
Maybe I’m biased because I love the video games, but Doom: the Board Game’s second edition, while it takes a bit to set up and is a little complicated to learn and strategize, is so much fun. Anything could happen in a game, and it even gives puzzle piece like map pieces so you can create your own games. Just be sure to play with enough people. While two players is possible, later games tend to get a little unbalanced.
For pure screw-your-friend-over fun. The portal boardgame is amazing.
But for a great co-op, forbidden desert is well worth looking into. Otherwise Doom, memoir 44 and Star Wars X-Wing miniatures are great for Duke it out dice battles
Scythe is definitely my favorite from this century
Scythe is very cool.
what is your favorite faction?
mine is Crimea.
@@samus1421 Crimea and Rusviet are probably the strongest, but I like Polania and Togawa personally
Some of my favorites are Quacks of Quendlinburg, Century: Spice Road, and Villainous. Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride are also great! Still want to play Wingspan.
Horrified, is another great popular new board game .. though my current favorite, is Bunny Kingdom!! Also, have the expansion for that one as well .. 🐰 👑
I got Horrified for christmas and Loved it : )
Horrified is a blast!
Top 10 deck building games (Dominion, Legendary, etc.)
I love the board game renaissance we are going through right now much better games than I had growing up.
I’m surprised. I genuinely expected this video to be nothing but mass market games. While there are still some (7 Wonders, King of Tokyo, Pandemic, Ticket to Ride) the mix of more modern euro and ameritrash games is truly welcome.
My top board games are Age of Empire III and CIVILIZATION :)
Awsome video, thx for sharing!
Try Sagrada. Pretty dice used to make stained glass windows. Also try Canvas. That one is very new.
Yo are we not even going to mention Settlers Of Catan and the great expansions?! An all time great board game.
Catan came out in 1995 so it didn't qualify for this list.
My parents are crazy about Ticket to Ride. I myself am in love with Warhammer (both Fantasy and 40K). I know they aren't technically board games, but they are tabletop. So there. Plus I play Chaos, so what do you expect.
I just got the remake of Fireball Island. I would like to see you and the Mojo crew play a board game or two.
Not a bad list at all. My favorite game is Smash Up, where you take two different faction decks, shuffle them together, and fight other players on different bases for victory points. I'm such a fan of the game that I've been a playtester for expansions for the past few years.
It's a bad list if you're calling it Top 10 Best Games of the Century.
SmashUp gettin’ some love. That’s the game from Wil Wheaton’s TableTop that got me into more of these types of games. In fact, over the past two weeks alone, I’ve helped convert 3 guys from work into SmashUp fanboys. Lol.
Seeing her face scares me, not because of looks, but because I had this voice defaced
The first time I saw her face (ish) it was jarring. But now I've embodied it with her actual body, haha.
Race for the Galaxy. After a decade of playing many many games that is the one still stands the test of time. I like the List in this video.
Holy shit ! The list is actually very good and not filled with mass market trash. Great list but damn Mojo give credit to the amazing board game content creators that were used in the list. Those are the people dedicating their time to grow the hobby that is helping this video get clicks.
Gloomhaven, up to 4 players coop, can even be played solo (but what's the fun) currently adapted on PC early access on steam.
Each player picks a class and progress through various scenarios.
You choose 2 cards from a deck unique to your class each turn until your deck is spent. You then need to rest and burn a card in the process. When out of cards before the end of the scenario, you die. Each card has two parts and you choose a part on the first card and the other part on the 2nd card. (Can't pick both top or both bottom). Instead of rolling dice you draw modifier cards for each action.
It has a permanent progression system too with level ups that let's you pick one new card to add to your deck among 2, each time stronger than the last.
Lots of fun and very hard.
This is also the highest rated board game of all time and is somehow not on this list when a bunch of games that aren't even rated in the top 100 are.
The favorite game among my family is "The Quest for EL Dorado". You can set up the terrain tiles different every game so every game is Unique. As fun with 2 people as with 4 people. 2nd favorite is Azul.
Merchants and Marauders, and Imperial Assault needed to be on this list!
The fact that "Welcome To" ranks so high is enough indication the people putting this list together had no idea where they were talking about.
"Betrayal at House on the Hill" is one of the best board games of all time--not just this century. LOVE that game. I also think Forbidden Desert should get, at least, an honorable mention.
I knew #1 was coming the entire time and it still made me angry. This list should literally be called "the most popular board games of the 21st century".
Except they aren’t: catan, gloomhaven and several others are missing.
@@SenseiJae Catan was last century 🙃
Mojo: best bard games
Also mojo: shows games I've never seen in my life
I want a Cones of Dunshire game!
Believe it or not, Disney's Villainous is really good. Great production quality, intriguing premise, lots of expansions, and asymmetric gameplay (everyone's goals and powers are different).
What's your methodology here?
according to bgg top 10 is: gloomhaven, pandemic legacy, brass birmingham, terraforming mars, twilight imperium 4th ed, gaia project, star wars rebellion, through the ages ANSOC, great western trail, and war of the ring 2nd ed.
They use a democratic voting ranking system of almost all serious global boardgamers...
what you got??
but this is not a bad list, many of the games here are classics that have great influence. Some of the entry level games may not be high on bgg list, but they are perhaps the most important ones because they are the ones that bring people to the hobby.
Doesn't Watchmojo have a website where people vote on the topics? If so, it is a democratic voting system. It just depends on who went over there and voted.
get some knowledge, then offer some meaningful insight. Too much information in this world without you adding more of zero value.
Some games I absolutely love is Forbidden Island. A few are from the Arkham series called Mansions of Madness and Elder Sign. So fun!
I work at a boardgame restaurant in North Texas (Game Theory) and we would love more lists like this!
