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!

My favourite boardgame is 'Strip the content of other content creators for financial gain without asking' - I see you've played it already...

[wanbaclone]

It's disappointing that you didn't reach out to the content creators, or at the very least, link to them.

What is with WatchMojo stealing other YouTube 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?

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!

My favorite part of this list was seeing the board game youtube channels.

No Gloomhaven, Nemesis or Terrraforming Mars?

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’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 😂

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.

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.

WHEATON !!! I loved table top, wish it was still around

[kgthegent]

Zombicide is a fun co-op board game and Secret Hitler gets some good table conversation going

[mazi]

No Gloomhaven? That's literally no1 on BoardGameGeek, deserves a spot on the list

[ThePhotonmom]

Try Sagrada. Pretty dice used to make stained glass windows. Also try Canvas. That one is very new.

[jacobweisen]

How about Dominion? Came out 2008 and already has multiple expansions! Definitely should have been on this list.

[ty_sylicus]

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.

This was definitely meant to be the “Top 10 Best Games for the Average Person”.
