I love underrated lists because they encourage you to play older games instead of chasing down the cult of the new. Would love to see one from everyone on the channel!

Underrated Board Games:
5. Nexus Ops
4. Fortune & Glory (It's Stupid awesome)
3. Drum Roll - Simple Euro about putting on a Circus in Europe and it's greate
2. The Bottle Imp - Fun trick taking game that ends up being super thinky
1.But Wait, There's More - This party game gets great laughs with anyone who is willing to just do their best to sell

WITCH OF Totally agree!!!! We do play with open information where we know the portals though!

[AlexanderSzymanski]

Underrated Board Games:
5. Urbion (possibly because it's fairly unavailable, but the first game in the Oniverse all about balance)
4. Impulse (awesome 4x game with a great pedigree, but eh graphic design. Got a new updated version and am loving it)
3. Bruxxles 1893 (beautiful heavier Euro with great mechanics, and an art nouveau style that i love)
2. Dungeonquest (such a random game, but such a fun little game. Can be played many times in a row)
1.Spyrium (way better than anyone gives it credit for. Covered on the show before to.)

Great list Chris! Thanks for sharing! Love you guys!

I have been thinking about getting Dungeon Petz back to the table over the last week or so, and then this vid comes along. It is a sign. I will play it this weekend. It really is a fun game.

One of my faves that doesn't get much love is Level 7: Omega Protocol. It's got a great story and theme and the adrenaline mechanic in the game is great!

I think i'll give warbands a shot.

[LeeroyPorkins]

I bought Warband on a whim at a 50% off liquidation sale at a FLGS

[jackgibson]

Great list Chris! We love Dungeon Petz as well. I think I’ll break it out this weekend now.

[MCJesse-huru]

I agree with Cutthroat Caverns. I'd also submit Calimala, Elysium, Ulm and Super Motherload

[phillopez]

Dungeon Petz....hmmm...keeps coming back. Gotta try this one. Thanks for the list.

[TheNerdShelves]

I've heard Dungeon Petz is brilliant.

[maischjohannes]

Nice to see games that i didn´t know about. dungeon petz is in my collection and also like it a lot even though sometimes it plays a bit to long for me. the others i would surely like to try.

Cutthroat is coming out with an Anniversary Edition of the game. They are reprinting the first box and updating the artwork. Thumbs up for Dungeon Petz. Just played that a few weeks ago.

[TheVosack]

Cutthroat Caverns was the first 'new' boardgame I bought. Now I have 250ish games.

[arcplayer]

Warband:AtD looked pretty interesting. Amazon had it for 19.99 so I picked up a copy. Dungeon Petz was more than twice that, so maby later.

[FeartheMalice]

The last two are the only 2 games I never heard of.

I see a pattern here in all these: Fantasy. Sadly for these probably great games, audiences are craving more accessible themes so these will get ignored.
