The Top 100 Best Board Games Of All Time And The Stories They Tell
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This is my top 100 best board games of all time and the stories they tell, all shot in 100 different locations! To me, gaming is far more than cardboard and plastic. Gaming is the stories we tell the next day and the shared experience they facilitate with those that are important to us.
The video is a long one, but I didn't want to do that RUclips creator thing where you split it up into dozens of videos to get more views. I feel it's much better as one whole video.
Special thanks for Kim the camera woman and her immense patience!

This channel- more specifically this video- was the thing that got me into board gaming- after watching all your videos on binge I’ve officially become engrossed in the community. Other than your opinion on Root haha (my new absolute favorite upon 40+ plays) I found everything you’ve said in this video and others to be incredibly insightful, especially considering the moments of playing games- those satisfying moves or rewarding turns- to be the things you remember rather than the outcome of who won or lost. Honestly, made me think about when I was in high school and played Coup at lunch every single day with my friends- not a super crazy strategic game, but just enough to incite major laughs and satisfying moments in the group we’ll never forget. So again, thank you!
That's amazing to hear and one heck of a compliment! I'll likely not sell Root and hope that eventually I have three people who know it well and want to play it with me. Super asymmetric games can be tough to hit the table if you're not bringing it regularly. I've always found the most important part of a game is how it makes you feel. If some game is super unbalanced but you still walk away enjoying it, then the unbalanced mechanics don't really matter to some extent. You're welcome!
@@TabletopTurtle I 100% see Root as every character having that one thing that makes them seem absolutely insanely good, but every character should know that about every other one so it somehow balances it out in the funniest way possible-
you’ve got the one character that has the most figures and the most control from the start of the game
the character who’s turns are only limited by how many cards they put into their engine (as many as you can add without failing)
the character who spreads like wildfire with worker placement ish ideas
the character who’s playing an RPG while everyone else is playing Risk haha
And you just made the best top 100 board game video on the internet! The hilarious transitions, the constant hidden puns, the cool games, and were you in Vietnam at some point!? I cant even imagine the amount of work that went into this! That ending hit me like a truck and I wasn't expecting it at all.
Thanks!
I think this video deserves millions of views and subscribers. Fantastic work, and also, which is rare - the taste in games is quite close to mine :)
Thank you! I'll take a million views! Hopefully I don't make you go bankrupt with new games to buy.
Thanks for the amazing top 100, thanks for talking about your wife, friends and especially your Dad. So many things that we all were able to share with our Father or Mother…. With me my Father… I too miss him as well, he died 10 years ago and I miss playing games, watching movies and baseball with him… yes Risk would have to be your number 1, nothing can replace playing with your father before he passed away… keep that memory forever!!! Love your video… will be watching a lot more of your stuff…. Board games are ALL about family and friends… that is truly why they are so fun and give us so many memories
Always fun to share! We watched a lot of baseball and basketball together too and really once he was gone I just kinda stopped because I realized I was really only interested as a means to connect to him. Happy to hear you feel the same way about games as I do! Welcome!
I used to watch football world championship with my father, before he passed away when I was 18. Now every four years I watch the games thinking of him. He would have loved board games, he played lots of Canasta. I wish I could have shared this hobby with him.
Wow you've really raised the bar on what board game content can be! Loved how you focused not just on the mechanisms, but how they feel to play with friends and family. Awesome production and entertaining throughout! First time I've watched a video and felt like I owed it to the creator to like, comment and subscribe! So glad I found your channel. Great work 🙌
Thank you! These are some seriously high praise and I'm happy we provided you a bit of entertainment. I don't know why people keep saying RUclips comments are hell because I'm not seeing it lol
Wow man. What a video. It's been two years since I get into board gaming and it was because of my 10 and 5 year old sons. To have moments with them. The idea the they can someday look behind and say "we used to play that with our dad" is amazing and that's why this video hit me so hard. Thanks for sharing your passion with us and most specific your story.
They will absolutely have their own stories involving you and gaming! That's a guarantee. Even though once they turn teenagers they'll completely abandon you and think everything you do is lame, including gaming . . . but they'll come back eventually haha
It’s criminal the amount of work that has gone into this video, to only have this many views. Keep it up! This is fantastic.
Thank you for the awesome compliment! Hopefully it picks up steam or something. Maybe the thumbnail needs improving.
@@TabletopTurtle I am no expert when it comes to that, I mean it worked on me lol. All I can say is I will share it with anyone and everyone I can. Also your story behind the number 1 game was beautiful and exactly why this hobby is one of the most special on earth. Thank you for sharing that and being vulnerable.
@@OodlesanNoodles Thank you! Happy we're in agreement on that point.
Holy cow! Following the crowd on this one lol. Been in this hobby over 10 plus years this my favorite top game list I’ve seen to date.
Huge praise! Thank you!
Your channel will be huge one day! Keep it up! Every aspect of this was quality. Thank you
I appreciate that! That's the dream!
Sheer respect for your project sir. I've lost my dad a year ago and I commune with your emotion when telling a story about him. Thx for your work. Greetings from México :')
Thanks!
Nowadays, my dad is getting older and older. Age has come to him quickly, and I feel we were getting distant from each other. Board gaming gives me the chance to pass time with him and share a good time together. This video reassures me of how blessed I am to have this opportunity and how important it is as time goes by and we may not be able to play anymore.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for this video.
Thank you for the kind words and I hope you get the opportunity to get closser through gaming. Sometimes, we don't need to express ourselves through words to really feel love.
I've watched through this video twice now. Such a good video! Thanks!
Thanks a lot! Amazing that it entertained you twice!
Great video! Amazing job! That's it, the stories we gather around a table that we will remind during our lifetime!
Greatings from Spain!
Thank you!
Just recently got really into Boardgaming with a friend, we are looking at all the shiny games out there tempted to buy way too many. Loved this video for the great effort and the early reminder that it's not the shiny games that count but the experience with the people you play. Thank you for that, hopefully we can contain ourselves and get awesome experiences with the games we already have (but never played lol) All the best!
It's really hard when you first enter the hobby because there is SO much out there to experience. Just take it slow and don't feel like you're missing anything. The great thing is you can be hyper choosey on what games you play next. Try a little bit of everything and really narrow down what you like in a game. Also, approach online content creators VERY cautiously. People are selling shit on here and some are selling harder than others.
Awesome video, I had the creeping feeling that it all felt very Canadian only to realize we're in the same city. This Ottawan is subbing.
Welcome! You can tell it's Ottawa because everything outside looks bland.
Lol, I mean I can't argue but ouch still
Great work @TabletopTurtle !!
Watched the entire video! Excellent! Wish you a lot of happiness!
Thanks!
Hey, amazing style and brilliant idea for a top 100 games video, I really like the videos on your channel, they are long but they keep my attention. I also like controversial opinions about various top bgg games! And well, the ending was unexpected,congratulation for you for your courage to speak so openely about stuff like that. I noticed that a lot of the games you show are in Polish, do you have Polish roots? I noticed that you live in Canada, and from what I know, there are a lot of Poles in Ontario, so maybe I'm right, or maybe it's a total coincidence?
Thank you for the encouragement. My roots are actually German on both sides of the family.
Amazing quality! I can only imagine the insane work that went behind!
Abalone. Blood Bowl. Mancala. Crokinole, I love it, my grandad made a few boards we played on as we grew up. It came out in 1876 and was invented in Ontario. My home province in Canada. Rebound we played some. Masterpiece classic about buying and selling paintings.
That's my home province!
I just stumbled across your video and I never thought I would find the greatest video in this platform not by people recommending it to me because I love boardgames but because of coincidence. You're criminally underrated and now I am the one recommending you to everyone I know. Greetings from Germany and keep being you, you're a great guy
That's amazing! I have no idea how the RUclips algorithm works, but I'm happy you found us if only for the selfish reason of getting some very high praise! Hopefully we continue to entertain you.
Wow! This was awesome. The ending actually made me tear up as well. Great job 👏
Thank you! I look back on all that with more happiness than sadness, thankfully.
That was truly epic! Great work and a great story.
Happy you enjoyed it, Daniel! Thanks for the view!
The most epic top 100 video I have ever seen! What an amazing life you live! 🤗
ETA: The ending was beautiful. Thank you for sharing those memories. ❤
Thank you! Happy the work is being appreciated and I'm also very happy I kept that ending instead of being embarrassed.
Great list. Your first place touched me deeply. My father spent majority of his life in prison. I am a 31-year-old man now and the last time I saw my dad was like I was 6-8 years old. I don't even know i would recognize his face right now. He is not in jail anymore, he works in a different country now, in Germany actually. Almost all my family from my father's side don't have any contact with him (only my father's brother has some contact with him from what I know). I made some mistakes in my life too. I wish that one day I would meet again my father, renew our relation and we would play a boardgame all night long :).
I hope for both of your sake you get the opportunity to reconnect with your father and make amends for the past . . . if only for another person to play that game you really love but can never get to the table!
I love your choice and reasons for #1. Beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you. An excellent video and top choice for number one. 👍
Glad you liked it!
curling is my fav olympic sport also love the voice over makes me want to listen to THANK FOR ALL THE FISH lol
Haha perfect!
Wow great video with many different scenes, very good, very entertaining. Good job.
I'm from the Gatineau region, it's good to see a fellow gamer from the region. Cheers, Keep up the good work.
I respect your number one, I too had one of those moment with a friend that had cancer. It makes the game hold not just a moment but is now part of a memory.
❤
Yeah and it's kinda neat because if you revisit the game you're not just getting a good play experience, you're getting to revisit some of those good memories, which is really beautiful.
Why not? Risk is great, it is a classic and the classic are the greatest because of the memories sticked to it. All people start with Stratego, Monopoly or Risk. The other board games all come later. May your father rest in peace.
We all have to respect our roots!
Amazing video! You just got a new subscriber 😊
Welcome aboard! Hopefully we can make some more content you enjoy while you're eating lunch of doing your business on the toilet!
Most entertaining top 100 yet. Great job.
Thanks Mark!
Great video! You wrote off that trip as a business trip, right? 😅
I wish! No new games for a bit haha
Great Concept for a top 100. You cannot just listen this, you need to watch!
Seasons at 8! Surprised me, I can't stand seasons, too many things to forget after each turn, you might have to add a point or minus a point if some other player did this and that and you can have so many things to remember after each turn and we always found ourselves forgetting to add or take away a point constantly. Let's just say it really isn't for me, your number 1 is very personal and that is what makes games special, the time you spent and the memories you shared. Risk is number 1 👍, great list and you put a lot of effort in to this. Best Top list i have ever seen, i never would have thought to put backgammon in my Top 10 but yea, memories, thanks for sharing 👍
It's an acquired taste for sure. I can get the overhead criticism. That's sort of how I feel when I'm playing Suburbia (if you've ever played that), that's the biggest offender I find.
@@TabletopTurtle not played Suburbia and will probably give it a miss 😅
Great video truly is👍
That being said don't do a 1h20m video with no timestamps.😂
Haha that's fair and I considered it but I really didn't want to encourage jumping around just cause it tells a story kinda 😅
Suscribing because of this video ❤
Thanks! Appreciate it!
55:55 - I’m a bit new. What is a “rolling right” game?
Roll and write** it’s a gaming mechanism. Generally “roll and write/flip and write” games are considered in the same category. In a roll and write, you roll dice, then assign those dice to certain areas and collect points or actions. Flip and write are the same, but with a deck of cards. Some really good games in this category
@@BoardFisherman uhmmm. I see.
Thank you!
This sorta was like me hearing most reviewers poor diction say "worker placement" as "work replacement" or "work placement."
Now I'm sitting here developing a complex wondering if I'm pronouncing shit correctly. Wonderful.
Damn, I wish I could do all that in one day!
If you can't watch all three lord of the rings movies, travel abroad, refinish your basement, and have a good poop in a single day . . . you're just lazy!
I can barely poop
Wow, pozdrawiam z Polski 👍
dammit, i love curling...but im canadian
You cliché! What's next, HOCKEY!?
Welcome to sunny Singapore!
Thanks! Being on the equator got too hot though and my vampiric skin began to change color so I had to run away back to the frozen north.
WOW!
you use ticket to ride to introduce people to games???? every time we play it we legit get in fights over trails stolen LOL that game is cutthroat
The station mechanic from the Europe version helps.
Cute girl only appears from 1:05:00 and beyond.
a timestamped item list would be appreciated in case I want to look up game x.
52:00 voidfall requires a huge table.
1:01:00 tzolk'in does not come with that painted central board.
Goose isn't a girl, silly. He's a boy!
@@TabletopTurtle you call her Kim and she's a boy?
I don’t wanna be mean, but I don’t think that’s how you say “archipelago.”
You have dishonored me. I will now fall upon my sword and commit sudoku.
Damn, right in the feels. But you nailed the ending. Boardgaming is so much more, then just then fun you have, playing a game.
Happy I posted that ending now. Felt strange at first.
This is not just the best top 100 list of all time but also one of the greatest videos about board games. A lot of the times, I don't particularly care about themes or mechanics but rather the experiences I can expect when I play them and not since 'Shut Up and Sit Down' have I seen anyone capture those emotions in such a succinct and effective way. The best board games are the ones that give you stories you remember. Also, was fun seeing you visit my homeland of Singapore! Thank you for making this an hope your channel blows up.
Wow thank you! I agree because there are games where mechanically I know they're not the best but yet there is something there that makes my friends and I come back. Kim is singaporean too!
This is THE BEST top 100 list I've ever seen. Great games, but the story, the locations, the end... amazing.
Thank you!
Thank you! That makes me very happy to hear. Always nice to have something that goes a little beyond a talking head at a table video.
The production of your videos is on other level compared to other boardgame channels. I wasn't prepared to cry watching a top 100 boardgames.
We really appreciate that! It's meant to be a more positive emotional share than negative though! Happy memories.
Its 3 games in and I already trust you with my life
Good! Now I will start making you buy really bad Kickstarters to games you know I don't like and you won't like so I can buy a new car lol
This is the best top 100 I've seen in a long time. Thanks for your histories, thanks for yor passion and thanks for share your personal thougths.
Thank you! Sitting at the table doing a talking head would have been easier, but much less fun.
Wow, I've always loved to watch other peoples top 10s, 50s, and 100s, but never have I come away from them like I've been on such an emotional rollercoaster. Singlehandedly THE greatest video about boardgames I've ever seen.
Thank you! We really wanted to make something a little different and I'm happy you appreciated it!
Best board game and life story told in a long time! ❤
Thanks! Happy to provide something even a tiny bit unique in an overly saturated market.
I have to admit, I’m new to the channel and was excepting to jump to just see the picks and move on. But this video was so well done I stayed for the whole thing. Nice work!
Happy to provide a little visual entertainment beyond the usual pics and talking heads.
Definitely my favorite board game list of all time! Watching you go from location to location for each game was very fun. Btw have you heard of a game called Blood on the Clocktower? It's my favorite board game of all time, and each game feels like it's own story.
Thank you! Nothing like a silly blend between travel vlog and board game list! I have played it once or twice and I really enjoy it. It's likely one of the best social deduction games out there. My problem is I can't bring myself to spend the crazy amount of money the game costs!
Amazing finish to a great video...and boy could I relate. We often forget the moments a game may represent, not just the playing experience itself. There is a game like that for me that I played with someone who is no longer with us...Stratego. And your closing statement just took me right back to those moments...thanks so much.
That's awesome. Have you tried Lord of the Rings Confrontation? I played a lot of Stratego when I was a kid too and was really happy when I found Confrontation.
This list hit me so hard at the end because I lost my father to cancer and I grew up playing cribbage with him. It was a game that I played with him until he physically couldn’t anymore. I still think of our games every time I think of him. We couldn’t communicate well with each other unless we were teasing the crap out of each other during a game. I miss it!
No doubt he was happy he could share that with you, just like my dad, even if they (or we) were not the most expressive. I'd like to think not everyone needs to express themselves through conventional words. Teasing over a dumb move is just as much an "I love you" in my books. Thanks for the subscription!
Good job on making your list entertaining and giving overviews of the games without getting stuck in a tutorial.
Thanks for sticking to your guns on your top games and the impact it can do bringing folks together.
I almost died laughing with the Arnold pump cut
Thanks! I've always disliked extended overviews. If I want a tutorial I'll just watch one.
I subscribed to your account because of your Glory To Rome graphic redesign - you can even see me on BGG doing/uploading the corrections in your thread. And I'm really glad I subscribed to your account, because this is the most fun and most creative top 100 board games I've seen in a while!
Oh yeah! I'll have to go back there and update the files because someone said there was an error or something. Happy you enjoy the content because we are just trying to figure things out.
Due to the effort put into this list I've subcribed - nice (also what an epic journey )- very touching about your Dad, games at there best.
Thank you! Games really do bring us together.
This video made me buy a new copy of risk. I played it with my dad too and had great times with him. Great video, Turtle. Memories are always the most important thing 'cause when we don't play a game anymore, we can always go back to our memores, our stories. Thank you for the video.
That's amazing!
Oh my! This was amazing! You must have put in so much work, but would not expect anything less from your channel! Bravo!
High praise! Thank you!
Man, well done, huge effort and really creative.
Thanks! Appreciate it.
I'm only at #95 and this is already the most entertaining top 100 I've ever seen. Well done. Instant subscribe.
Thanks! Always fun to put the work in and be a little silly.
@@TabletopTurtle It took me a few watching sessions to get through the whole list, but it was amazing. I personally don't play Risk, but that is a great #1 for you. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Dude congratulations on making the best top 100 video EVER. It was so incredibly good, first time I watched 2 hours non stop of a top 100. Just subscribed. You are an amazing content creator and I can't wait to watch more of your stuff. I wish you nothing but the best, cheers!
Wow, thanks! I don't know if I've watched any RUclips video for that long, so it really means a lot to me.
Well if I had to make a top 100 list on board game ranking videos this would be 1 without a close second, you explain what no one else really did and that’s just the love of the hobby itself and I share many of these experiences with you so thankyou
Damn! Thank you very much for saying that!
Oh my goodness gracious you just made the best top 100 video EVER . I feel like I got to know you through this video - and why you love the games you love ! I loved hearing your stories , feeling excited about your passion of gaming, and all the super cool shots around Ottawa/wherever you be !! Also shoutouts from Waterloo Ontario :)
Happy you enjoyed it! Ontario represent!
One of the games I love dearly is Clue. It is because it was the one board game I could get my mom and dad to play. We had such fond memories playing it as a family. My mom and I loved it because it was a game we could beat my dad at even though he was a genius. It will alway hold a special place in my heart because of it. I wish I had gotten to play it more with my dad before he passed. I haven’t played it since. I think I will play it with my mom for his birthday this year.
Thank you for the wonderful video.
You're welcome!
This was a great video. Thank you very much! Definitely subscribed. Totally get your number one. The experience is far more important than cool minis or great gameplay.
Welcome! Happy we agree on the importance of the play experience over everything else! I've played so many games where I can acknowledge it's not the best designed game but if I'm having fun, I don't really care.
Normally I just skip through these kind of videos but because of the nice video I watched through the whole thing! I have a very similair taste in boardgames :). The biggest difference was Obsession, I just could not get into that game. But I seem to be in the minority since it gets universal appraisal it seems. Maybe its the theme and/or that I only played it on BGA.
Wow thank you! Happy it was entertaining. I can understand a person not enjoying Obsession. It can be a little simple sometimes.
I feel like I just walked around Canada* (then travelling to Thailand*) talking about boardgames with a mate. Well, he talked, I listened.
Amazing video.
Been to both countries. If you arrange for Canda to have Thailand's weather, I'll come back.
Also, really lovely story about your dad.
Nothing says exotic travel like joining me as I redo my basement. Thank you for the kind words.
Right in the feels at the end man. Great top 100.
Excellent video man. Love the unique idea and the awesome message. Pops would be proud of your journey
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
"When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21:28 I lost my father too, aka the greatest friend in the world. Soon, we will both be with our Fathers again, playing games for eternity. Jesus is coming😃 soon, the signs are everywhere! God bless you and your wife! 🤗
You absolutely made me cry. My favorite game is RISK too for a very similar reason. I do not like the game but my memory is so emotional of it i have to give it my #1.
It's a weird space because I don't really want to play Risk again either and I know it's really not that great of a game, but yet it's still a favorite. Happy you could experience some emotion from just another silly video online about board games!
You put a tremendous amount of effort into making that video. I wish you all the success with your RUclips channel.
Congratulations. This is a well made, polished, intelligent and emotional video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks!
Give this man 100k subs already. He deserves way more but lets start at 100k.
Haha! Maybe one day!
I'm not yet halfway through the video but had to chime in for VIKINGS. Why doesn't it get a reprint?! Marvelous game, criminally underrated. I love how it is so rules-simple and can get so complex. arrrrrgh
I didn't even know it was out of print! Now I must avoid looking it up because if it's selling for a lot I might be too tempted . . . .
Darn you for making me actually watch the video, lol. The dedication to make this is next level; many thanks to you and Kim. Love your dog, your Cholula, and highly jealous of your Timmy's... Also, love that story from Dungeon Fighter!
I usually just listen to people's top 100 as a podcast in a way so I thought it would be fun to provide some reason to actually watch! Don't be jealous of Tim's, after it was bought by some American company the quality has dropped like a stone.
@TabletopTurtle oh, that is highly unfortunate.. it was so much better than DD.
I think that the gallery normally allows filming but they didn't want you exposing their money laundering scheme to the people...
One of the best-made videos I have ever seen; I can only imagine the amount of work it must have taken. Congratulations on the efficiency and creativity.
Wow! High praise! Thank you very much for the kind words. They mean a lot.
Strong finale! Keep it up, my friend, you got a thing going here.
Thanks, will do!
Great video and definitely an original way to do a top 100!
There's so many games in your list that are in mine too and then there's a bunch that are on my shelf of shame ^^.
Great job!
Happy to hear we have such similar tastes!
Love u vídeo, and u story. Thanks man
Thank you for your story. I have to admit: the end hit hard! But you nailed to capture the essence of boardgaming. My number 1 would be a small dutch cardgame, just bc I wish I could relive the dreary Dutch sunday afternoons, where my Dad and me would get as competitive as always, in forementioned game. All the best from the Netherlands!
didn’t know we would get a travel video too. loved it! amazing work!
Just wow! I accidentally stumbled across your video and needed a video to play to kill some time… and was pleasantly surprised. This is a fantastic top 100 list and video!! Really dig the real talk without all the hype words. Will definitely be burning through all your other content!! And yes, if I am honest and think of the game I played to most growing up and had the best and worse memories of… it is Risk!! ❤
Thank you! Yeah, we've gotten a lot of comments about the commentary on the games themselves. I think going forward we'll talk about the games more like your buddy would when asked about a game and less like a reviewer. If I have to hear "It's not for me, but you might like it" one more time in a review I'll go nuts.
This video made me cry and laugh. Love it. ❤
Thank you!
I love watching top 100 games lists because I just like to listen to other people talk about the games they're passionate about, whether they line up with my tastes or not, and many times I find out about games that weren't even on my radar. This video came up randomly in my RUclips feed. I'd never heard of this channel before, but after watching, I instantly subscribed. Hands down, this is the best Top 100 list I've ever watched, and that ending is what it's all about. Funny enough, Risk is also the game I grew up loving as a kid, and is the game that initially pulled me back into the hobby as an adult with the release of Risk Legacy,. This in turn allowed me to discover the world of modern hobby board games that has allowed me to re-connect with lost friends and make many new ones for 10+ years now. Love this hobby. Thanks for your hard work on this video. Looking forward to watching your other content!
I'm happy you enjoyed it! I was worried not a lot of people would want to watch something so long. The one thing that was great about Risk is that unlike other classic board games their variant games were always uniquely different and not just re-skins. Risk Legacy was super cool and that's amazing that it managed to be your sort of "gateway" game back into the hobby. It's such a fun thing to share with people.
Really amazing list, incredibly thoughtful and well implemented. Funny, heartfelt, touching, you really hit on all the reasons I love playing board games. Thank you ❤
Happy we share the same passion for the hobby!
Best #1. I agree, the top games for me are the ones that I spent with family.
Another fantastic video! The only problem is now I have 20 more games I’ve added to my want list 😅
You didn't really need groceries this week anyway! 🤣
Fantastic video man.... truly. All best from Germany
An amazing list and an even better video. Entertaining, funny and heartwarming - just perfect. Subbing and anticipating great things in your future!
Thank you very much! Hopefully we don't disappoint!
Thank you for sharing your many years of board gaming experience, I made a list of games mentioned in this video that I would like to play now.
The last minutes of the video sum up what board gaming is really about for me and my friends, too, and I admit I've never teared up in some strangers' top 100 list.
I'm happy for your memories and hope others have their own funny, cutthroat, or otherwise shareable stories too.
Hopefully, you end up loving them! I'm happy that I'm not alone in how I feel about gaming.
Great video, obviously a lot of work.
It put a few games on my ‘list’ for the upcoming UK Games Expo and a few reminders to get some of my games to the table (and BGA) and a few more plays.
I wondered as you appear to be a big fan of multi use cards what your thoughts were on La Granja, especially with the relatively recent Deluxe Master Set?
You also appear to be a big Civilization Theme Fan (as am I) so wondered what your thoughts were on Clash of Cultures, similarly as above it has also had a Monumental Edition relatively recently (with miniatures 😊)?
Your thoughts at the end of the video resonated with me as I also played a lot of Risk growing up with a lot of memorable games, although not a game I really play now. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I used to own Clash of Cultures but we couldn't get it to the table because it was really long and required four people. I enjoy La Granja. Although I haven't seen the deluxe set yet.
Thanks for the solid Top 100 with the interesting format - great to see so many Ottawa locations. I was originally surprised by your number one but the stories and the memories make it! A game that I was completely expecting to see as the list whittled down was Carl Chudyk's Innovation.
Well we really like Glory to Rome and feel like it's better than his later implementations, even though i know Innovation is a fairly unique stand alone game. I'll have to try it again some time because I know they are releasing a Master Set this year.
This video is... just... perfect. Congrats. And thank you for sharing many original thoughts, jokes, honest opinions, and even deep emotions with all of us. Top quality content! 👏
Thanks for the kind words! We love comments like this! Hopefully, I can continue to entertain
This was so entertaining and I am interested in trying so many new titles thanks to you! That ending hit close to home and I love that board games mean more than just collecting to you. Please keep being you and don't be afraid to be vulnerable moving forward. Subscribed!
It's always a little awkward putting yourself out there online.
Hey! Recent subscriber here. Just coming here to say what a great experience it was to see this video. Thanks for making this. I think the best story this video tells is really showing a bit of who we are in a setting where are able to show our back stabbing side, or mean player side and all the other "good and bad" sides with the great intent of having a blast with people we care about.
I'm happy you enjoyed it. Welcome! It's true! Gaming is fun because it can capture so many different emotions and those experiences change so readily depending on who we experience the games with. It's an amazing hobby, for sure.
