For those curious about Shut Up and Sit Down, Quinns has suggested Blood on the Clocktower, maybe Tigris and Euphrates? Tom has suggested Oath. Not sure about Matt or Ava. Matt has said that he's played a ton of Quacks of Quedlinburg and Gloomhaven.

This is great! Would love to see a compilation of #2 games of all time, or even more

[BoardGameHangover]

Great video idea! Great games all around and respect for the work you put into this! Thanks for including us!

[jakobsievers]

I was really surprised to see so many different preferences. Somehow I suspected more overlaps than the few there were. I suppose that speaks beautifully about how diverse both the boardgame space, and we human beings more broadly, are❤️

[monoludico]

What a great video! Insta subbed!
I'll put the 100th comment:
I've played at least 75% of the games mentioned here. From those, in my top ten are:
-Through the Ages
-Mage Knight
-Brass (although I prefer Birmingham than Lancashire)
-Marvel Champions
-Dune Imperium (better with RoI)
-Root

Root was the most mentioned in #1 (3 votes) and I'll add another vote, as it is probably my favorite board game of all time!
The rest of my top 10 would be:
-Race for the Galaxy
-Anachrony
-Keyflower
-Troyes

Cheers from Ecuador, South America! 🎉

I think this really highlights the importance of replayability when it comes to making someone's absolute favorite game. Sure, you might enjoy a game you've only played 3 times, but to be your favorite there needs to be something drawing you back. The deckbuilding and multiple characters of Dune: Imperium, the engine building and diversity of cards in Terraforming Mars, the asymmetric factions of Root. These are games that you can play over 100 times and not get sick of.

Thank you for including every board game YouTuber, I appreciate the thoroughness! Great video!

[jograt_gt]

I'm so happy Cosmic Encounter is on the list. As the game says "Game of Infinite Possibilities". The games are usually chaotic and very random because of the different alien powers.

[MightISuggestAGame]

Wow thanks for putting this all together - so cool to see all of them in the same spot! Might have to do a follow up for some of us little guys 😉

[metalrock]

Wait - your missing Shut Up And Sit Down (SUSD) - they feel like one of the biggest ones so surprised that’s not on here

[bremjo]

My would definately have to be 7 wonders. Fantastic game to play that can also fit a ton of people.

[bryceb]

Blood rage is so so good. I’ve played with light and heavy gamers alike an everyone loves it. It’s one of those games we always end up discussing, laughing about, yelling and remembering specific plays well after the game ends. That to me is the sign of a perfect game.

[robertahearne]

Thanks for doing this - it's a lot of fun. A few of these games I'd never even heard of. (But, titling this as "Every" board game YouTuber is a bit of a stretch -- a number of excellent ones are conspicuously absent. Not only SU&SD, but also No Pun Intended, RTFM, Paula Deming, Rahdo, and Randy Smith.)

[GuardianAngelEatos]

I find it interesting that there are a few games that multiple people had as their favorite, and It's nice to see Wingspan and Cosmic Encounter in here! Most of these I've at least heard of and a few I have thought of getting. I'm a bit sad that The Lord of the Rings Lcg didn't make it on here or Aeon's End, but there are so many games!

[monomundo]

Thank you, that's a lot of work! Dune Imperium is excellent and ranks at #2, just after Terraforming Mars :)

[michaellee]

What about No Pun Included? Also, I wonder how much Quackalope was paid for their “opinions”.

[marcoperilla]

Dude! Saw this video and was like “cool, there’s a lot of variety!” Went to the channel and it’s all DUNE. So… thanks for sharing this particular video anyway 🙂

[jeffersonrodriguez]

I love love love that I disagree with almost everyone here. It really shows how board games truly are such a unique, subjective experience. It would be annoying if everyone agreed with what they thought the best game was. Board game culture is so beautiful

[Jawby]

If you could compile some board game designers' top favorite games, that would be really interesting to find out.

[jgutkind]

I think it's safe to say that Zee Garcia favorite game from the Dice tower knocked off his shoes and socks. By far that is my favorite clip.
