nice idea for a video. I found myself wanting to see a lot more shots of the games you mentioned.

Parks and Project L are two good picks as they are so eye-catching without being intimidating.

I absolutely love Parks! Some games I introduce to people who newer to board games like these (easy to learn/teach) and that have been a success are Sagrada, Century Spice Road, Welcome to...Your Perfect Home, Wok and Roll, and Trekking Through History.

I love Project L. My 6 & 8 yr old granddaughters saw the game and started playing with it immediately. Love Parks, too! It’s easy to make Parks simpler for kids by taking the gear cards out the first few plays. Great suggestions.

Oh man, we love El Dorado too! Jamaica is a blast at higher player counts (5-6).

I gifted, Canvas and Unlock, to my brother and his wife, who don't play contemporary games.

Loved the video! But, is joey by chance, reclaim joey😮?

Splendor was a success! Forbidden Island was my "welcoming" game.

They are called Gateway Games. Who decided they are to be re-named "Welcoming"?
