For canada online shops I’d highly recommend 401 Games or Game Shack

Awesome video! In my experience, Survive! Escape from Atlantis and Quest for El Dorado are also great beginner games.

Some nooby games I would recommend: Lords of Waterdeep, Ra, Marvel United, and Carcassonne. Some of my favourites because they're all quite light, play quite quick and between the 4, offer a variety of mechanics and player counts. (I would also recommend Foundations of Rome as a good entry game, but it's very expensive.)

Munchkin is my current favorite game, any recommendations or similar games?

As a heavy gamer I find Thunder road vendetta absolutely fantastic.

Amazing video again, guys! A bit disappointed there was no Party game coverage while you had Feed the Kraken behind you the entire time x)

The first question you need to answer for yourself - is which kind of board gaming experience you'd like to have.
Either solitary uninterrupted puzzle solving together with your friends but separately - then games like Wingspan and Cascadia is your choice.

But if you like more interaction (in my opinion this is the right way to play games), go for something like Ticket to Ride (path building class of games) or El Grande (area majority class of games)

As far as four player games go, my best intro game has been Whitehall Mystery. Everyone loves it.

Spot on with Thunder Road Vendetta. I've played this with players 9 years old, up to 50. It his all of the time. After with the expansions, I decided to back their most recent Kickstarter, the expansions are so good. Great video as always, boys.

[krittapastt.]

Great and funny video. I really enjoy watching!

[umamifriends]

production quality is awesome!! good recs too :)

[thinusconradie]

Love your humour as always. You guys have great style. Great job with lighting and camera angles.

[multiplemenace]

I agree on Quacks, flexible player count easy teach and a ton of fun.

[hughjazz]

My group would rarely play big box board games, the games we play the most are small games that we can play in the pub, stuff like Oink games' Deep Sea Adventure & Durian, or card games like Spicy & The Mind

[kamilperz]

It's probably the best video made by this channel. Mint❤😂😊👍

[Dewakinnara]

I looked over Thunder Road Vendetta so many times. Now it's out of stock in my country. 💀💀💀

Time to pre-order!

[jakumo]

There is another good online shop from Finland - Pelipeikko.

I have watched you guys for a while now and want clap you "on your shoulders" and say: This was a great presentation guys! ... but i'm not there, so writing it has to do.
But with all sillyness aside, This presentation actually has quite good tips and information for newcomers coming to the hobby.
And I agree- top board game varies completely between persons... It actually seems more likely to win from a lottery ticket than a two list would be the same between people.
