    Hi, some great suggestions there. I play board games one evening a week with a small group of work colleagues sometimes there are three of us but mostly 4-5. We only have about 3 hours so don’t have time for any big expansive games. We regularly play wingspan, ticket to ride, 7 wonders and catan. We’ve played pandemic but we’re not so keen on the co-op aspect (no single winner lol!) dominion definitely looks like one to try. What I like most about your list is the games are accessible. Many of the other UA-camrs are more serious gamers and the games they put forward are complicated, long and often kickstarter special editions that are not widely available. Many thanks for your video, I’ll have a look back through your previous lists to get some recommendations. Hope you had a great holiday however you celebrated it!

      Orleans is a great option for 2-5 players. 90-120 minutes.
      It introduces a “bag building” mechanic, like Dominion, but with worker placement.
      Another great choice is Raiders of the North Sea. Worker placement that plays easily under 1 hour.

We don't receive any kind of monies in any form , for doing this channel. So there isn't any outside influences to colour our opinion.

    Another great series that is full of passion and positivity.
    I found your approach to the top 100 fascinating and was surprised to see your top 10 as games you felt were objectively the best or most influential or most important for introducing folk to the hobby.
    I feel there’s still room for your personal, biased, games you love the most right now top 10.

We have a 230 game library , so quite a bit of time passes between plays. By the time we get back around to it , the base game feels new. Thank you for watching and commenting Joseph ☺️ ❤️!!

    I tried Summer Pavilion but thought it was too difficult... maybe I'm just not an expert! I liked Queen's Garden better for sure. Base azul I found out I was playing wrong for years! We played that if you began a collection row in one color, you could not start collecting the same color on a different row until the next round. Apparently that's not a restriction!

    I did the same thing with Dominion: got a nice wooden insert, and FILLED it with three expansions and a few promos, organized alphabetically. I don't feel any need yet for more expansions because there's an insane amount of variability already. I use an iphone app to randomize what decks we use per game.

    I really do agree with the opinion that more accessible and most importantly FUN games belong at the top of anyone’s Top 10. It’s those games that I can get in front of the people I love that might not be gamers and share my hobby with. I’ve done lists like this on Instagram for about the last 5 years and always felt that I needed to have the more complex euros at the top. But this past year I realized the game I have the most fun playing (and one I didn’t see on your list!) is Rudger Dorn’s “Luxor” and made it my #1. I never tire of it and have introduced it to a ton of people. Rudger Dorn is one I always watch out for!
    Thanks for the list! I must say the multiple games at one number got a little confusing but it started to make more sense. But I’m a purist who prefers just one game at each number. 😊

      Hey Paul! 👋 We used to have Luxor in our library. Regrettably , we sold it. We had some special components in it , also. Replacing it will be difficult. Everyone makes mistakes and selling Luxor is one of ours. 😬 We decided to have multiple games in some slots , to be able to highlight more games. Dice 🎲 Tower has 7 employees do a too 100 list this year and I believe that's 700 games. I only have one employee , my wife Lori , who is also , my editor , camera man , and gaming partner. I understand the video series was a departure from the traditional , and maybe we'll rethink it next year. Thank you for watching and commenting Paul!! Happy New Year!!

We used the top 10 as a vehicle to pay tribute , to those board games that have separated themselves from the pack , when you consider the volume of those games sold.
