Would love to see a top 10 list: Games that only i seem to like. It would show us some other games that dont get talked about as much.

[stormshadowk]

Guys... Its been how many years. Who does your sound? For real? Talking should NOT peak your input meter. Not trying to be a smart alec, just a very frustrated sound engineer over here, lol.

Mike got me thinking of a video idea at the beginning. Tom, Zee and Mike all find 10 random games by using the "random game" feature on BGG. They have to say something good about the games and give reasons why to play the games, even if they end up with games they dislike 🤣🤣

We had Can't Stop in our home growing up but I never played it until i was in my late 20s and was getting into the world of board games. My wife and I had a blast! Now we love games with a push your luck element in the game. Made me wish I had played it as a kid. Great pick!

[szabikelemen]

For me (not in any particular order):
- Carcassone
- Catan
- Ticket to Ride
- Kingdomino
- Just One
- Dixit
- Cascadia
- 7 Wonders
- Skull

🤣🤣1:35-1:55 definitely has to go on best moments of the year video. Zee was hilarious. Every convention Tom is at someone needs to go up to him and ask for 10 games to put in their home with the weird eyed face 😜

Trekking through History is great. I personally could replace that in a list like this with the Timeline series. I can teach it in two sentences, and it appeals at some level to almost every group I'm in (the more seasoned groups use it as a filler, the casual groups love it as a fun easy experience).

[earthling-ad]

I'd have to base my list on the games that my wife likes to play (as she is a non-gamer and finds learning new games hard):
1. Splendor - and she'll beat me at it too!
2. Patchwork
3. Sagrada
4. Lost Cities (the card game)
5. Quest for El Dorado
6. Cockroach Poker/Coup
7. Bananagrams/Scrabble
8. Quacks of Quedlinburg
9. Snake Oil/Balderdash
10. Codenames

I'm a grandma. Zee cracked me up with the re-explaining the rules. I do tend to ask questions over and over. lol For a while, my name was changed on Discord to Alzheimer's Accountant.

[CaptainGamer]

Great Top-10 list! I agree with several of these picks as well: Ticket to Ride, Marvel United, Trekking Through History, For Sale, Archaeology: The New Expedition, King of Tokyo, and Point Salad.

[nathannemeth]

Yes, if I ever get to play Pandemic Legacy, I'll be sure to name one of the viruses, "Monopoly."

[LegoAssassin]

Mike was ON FIRE this top 10! I love this!

[DarthEd]

I know Mike hasn't been gone for very long, but, man, it's good to have him back! This was lightning in a bottle. Everyone brought their "A" game here. I laughed out loud so many times. That said, I'm shocked – SHOCKED, I tell you! – that Tom and Zee didn't put Dixit on their lists.

[WilliamStewart-hp]

A few weeks ago I had a games night with my parents in law. We played Downforce, Trekking Through History, and Dixit. So good picks everyone!

[Boardandgame]

We got forbidden island when we started to play games and I very quickly grew out of it after like 3 plays, we still keep it because my kids like to play it

[nzcamel]

Can confirm that as a non-American, learning that Barnes & Noble is a bookstore was useful 😁
I mean I had already guessed it was not your FLGS, but now I'm like "it's Whitcouls!"

[sealtyk]

I like Tom's comparison of Monopoly and disease

[VincentVBR]

Love this and the explanation and the chemistry you guys have together, but a 20minute one i think would be great for a christmas wishlist or friends looking for a next game to try out while being more digestible

[branboom]

Thanks for the content! You guys always crack me up, really feels like I'm hanging out with buddies
