@@TheNerdShelves With only ~18 months in the hobby I have yet to play most games on your lists. I own Scythe but have yet to convince my family to give it a try and tackling the solo mode out of the gate seems like an easy way to get the AI wrong. If I played it then I'm sure Scythe would easily make my Top10. My current Top10 based on my enjoyment factor and not necessarily based on game play "quality" 1. Viscounts of the West Kingdom 2. Ticket to Ride when factoring the entire series (I view all non-original maps as expansions) 3. Hadrian's Wall 4. Mansions of Madness 2nd ed (best when several expansions enabled) 5. Eldritch Horror 6. Wingspan 7. 7 Wonders Duel 8. It's a Wonderful World 9. Robinson Crusoe 10. Century Spice Road
@@christopherleary7934 this is a great list and several of your games were super close to making our lists; Wingspan and It's a Wonderful World to name a couple.... Scythe can be intimidating, but it really does make sense one you start playing... Thanks for sharing♥️
I like how you both made your top ten lists with the app, it really makes the list as honest as possible. That seems like a good idea to try out, thanks for the video.
Orleans is currently my favorite and I have yet to try it with the Trade expansion. Your explanation makes me want to try it that way soon. I have heard the Invasion expansion makes for an excellent co-op. I love your well ordered most played collection. So far, I am able to keep my collection on deep shelves in a closet along with some other storage solutions, including a lift top foot ottoman that can hold many small games.
Quacks really is good, eh. What I love about Quacks is you can get it to the table with any group of players; young or old, experienced or not. It's just all 'round fun... Thanks for watching and offering your thoughts 😊♥️
Great list. My fav is Scythe. Has been for since the first play. A lot of crossover between your lists and our lists. Enjoyed the video! New to the channel, this was the first video we have watched. Your channel will be on our regular list for sure.
Awww thank you so much. That's great to hear. It really means a lot♥️... And yes, Scythe is definitely a favourite on our table.... Welcome to the community😊
I don't remember seeing enough of Ruins of "Arnaldo", I do like that game a lot. I do think my top 10 is solid, pretty excited to do this again later after more games being played.🥰
@@TheNerdShelves Raiders is my top 10 but I've never tried the solo mode :( I recently decided to play through all the West Kingdom solo games with the current KS campaign!
Oh ya, those are both great games. It was so hard to pick a top 10, because we love everything in our collection... That's why it's in our collection😆. Thanks for watching♥️
@@judiethenerdshelves Hi Judie. My top 10 co-ops, competitive, and party games are here: ruclips.net/p/PLUuYfoWEBEMUUjaQaCHo_qJ42o7FhDrPr If you jump to the end of the timestamps you'll see the summary list -- I mention that in that off chance that you won't want to sit through a 3 hour top-10 list :) :) :) -jesse
Your tastes seem to align with mine really well! Subscribed, and looking forward to seeing more of your content! Of these, Architects, Quacks, and Dinosaur Island are right up there for me. Great job!
What a spectacular game closet! Did you build that yourself? I’m jealous of the games, the shelves, the barn doors, and the organization. All gorgeous!
Awwww thank you♥️. This is in our dining room. The nook was already there, for a hutch or China cabinet. It was actually a selling point when we bought the house, knowing full well we would use it for boardgames😆. The old IKEA shelves are literally 1cm too wide, but the new version fits right in, Phew! And yes, I built the barn doors. It was a project shortly after my father passed away to keep my mind busy.... We are very happy with them... Thank you so much for saying so♥️
I am as surprised as you are, Calico is my 31st but I LOVE that game! Also Ruins of Ar.... Ar..... I can't even see it, it's like one lost piece of my favourite games.🤔😬😆
It is joy to watch your top 10. So many cross overs with my favorite games, and 4 cross overs with my top 10. 1 the Castles of Burgundy (perfection) 2 Grand Austria Hotel (tight & thematic) 3 Five Tribes (Pretty puzzle) 4 Raiders of the North Sea (satisfying) 5 Rajas of the Ganges (very engaging) 6 Honey buzz (pretty, smooth economic) 7 Santa Maria (smooth, satisfying) 8 Carpe Diem (relaxing, quick) 9 Horrified (fun!) 10 Fantastic Factories (pretty, quick, combos) Did you have the opportunity to play Grand Austria Hotel or Five Tribes? I guess you will love those, too. I am going to try to play Trajan. Never tried it, so very curious about that one.
Thank yo so much, and thank you for sharing your top 10. There are some great games there that just narrowly missed ours lists... and Trajan is brilliant, LOL
Those doors are awesome! Sadly, I have to admit that I haven't played many of these but this just means I have some new games to put on my "must play" list - especially Scythe. It was fun that you didn't know what was on each other's lists bur a couple of titles appeared in the same spot! (And hang on to the clip board!)
Awww thanks. Ya, we're pretty happy with these barn doors. I built them a few years back...... I can't watch many top 10 videos anymore, it just makes me want to buy more games, LOL... Thanks for watching!
Awww, thank you.... No, we won't be at any conventions this year. We're still waiting on our 2nd doses of the vaccination and being Canadian, we wouldn't be allowed back in the country😆
I'm curious...how do you pack up your games in the boxes? unless you bag everything and tend to ditch any specialized inserts, it seems like things would fall out of their slots and get messy. your collection storage is so clean! i see others do that as well, but feel like i need to keep them horizontal to keep things in place.
That shelf is so beautiful with the wooden doors 🥰💯 Can't wait for my Scythe copy to arrive. It will be the only one that made your list in my collection 😂 This was very fun to watch. I need to look up Raiders of the North Sea 😎
Awww, thank you❤️ We are very proud of those doors, so thank you for noticing..... I can't wait to hear what you think of Scythe. And yes, Raiders is pretty darn good! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for watching. Ya, it's really hard to pick a favourite isn't it. I just finished playing another great filler, Truffle Shuffle, that didn't even make the top 10. So many great filler games out there.
So I did my own rankings. The funny thing is that when I was doing it, all the expansions were separated from the base game (have a look at this): 1. Everdell 2. Viticulture (Tuscany) Essential Edition 3. Viticulture Essential Edition 4. Takenoko 5. Viticulture - Visit from Rhine Valley 6. Viticulture - Moor Visitors Expansion 7. (Doesn't count as it's not in my collection - Tokaido) 7 (from my collection): Fields of Arle 8. Imperial Settlers 9. Fresco Expansion Modules 4,5,6 10. Five Tribes So if I merge the Viticulture expansions into one game in the #2 spot and shift the other games up... Adding: (Shadows Over Camelot not counting as I no longer have it in my collection) Fresco (base including expansions 1,2,3 - but merging that with #9) Rolling Realms (well, not sure print and plays count...) Voyages of Marco Polo Splendor
@@judiethenerdshelves I'm trying to learn Viticulture on BGA at the moment. I think I need someone to teach it to me though - you two should do a live play so Michael can teach it to me! :D
Hi Josh, great question. I would say that Scythe plays better at higher player counts; however, there is a way around that. With only 2 players, some like to add the Automa as a third. Or, and what we prefer, is to add the modular board expansion ruclips.net/video/sjlBUFTL7JM/видео.html. It shrinks the map, increasing tension between 2 players, otherwise the map is too big.
Ya, that's always an issue. It's so hard not to live up to hype. If you've done your research and feel like it's a game for you, then you'll be just fine. Let us know how it goes, we're really excited to hear😊
Thank you for sharing your lists. Here's mine: 1. FOOD CHAIN MAGNATE 2. PAX PAMIR 3. LISBOA 3. BRASS BIRMINGHAM 4. ON MARS 5. BIOS ORIGINS 6. THE GALLERIST 7. HIGH FRONTIER FOR ALL 8. PAX TRANSHUMANITY 9. YOKOHAMA 10. TETRAFORMING MARS
Great video, your tastes definitely line up with mine very well and it helps that I'm trying to introduce my girlfriend into the hobby. Very helpful video keep up the good work
Thank you Eric! Let us know if there is any topics you are interested and we haven't covered. We also live stream play through every Wedendays at 19:15, PST and every Saturdays at 19:00, PST, bring your girl friend to the chat, everyone there is fun and friendly.🥰
I haven't had a chance to play Architects or Orleans or Trajan yet, but want to. Lots of excellent choices here! - Honey Buzz, Istanbul, Castles of Burgundy, Carpe Diem, Dino Island. Too bad "Lost Arnaldo in Ruins" didn't make the cut :P
Ewwww Trajan! :P I think Judie just wins this one. 😋 But with the exception of Scythe, most of my favourites were at the bottom of your respective lists. Then it started getting more beige! 😅
Ranking Engine Two crossovers with you two. 1 Parks 2 Carcassone Big Box 3 EXIT series 4 Azul 5 Quacks of Quendlinberg 6 Takenoko 7 Wingspan 8 The Lost Ruins of Arnak 9 Minecraft Builders and Biomes 10 7 Wonders Duel 11 Tang Garden 12 Ticket to Ride Europe 13 Escape Room The Game series 14 Barenpark 15 Sushi Go party 16 Unlock Series 17 Nature Flux 18 Forgotten Waters 19 Codenames 20 Enchanted Forest
Interesting, and both are only on Judie's list; 7 Wonders Duel and Quacks... Although a couple were very close to both of our lists: Arnak, Parks and Wingspan for example... Thank you so much for watching, and thank you for sharing your list😊♥️
I think pubmeeple is a good way to rate the games.. but perhaps it's best to divide into types? For example, best 2 player : Santorini , Stellar, JaiPur, Feast of Odin, Carcasson, Battle Line, Lost Cities, Azul, Duel 7 Wonders, Pandemic Legacy Season 1 3 player+ : Bunny Kingdom , Renature, Blue Lagoon, KeyFlower, imhotep, Aboretum 4 player/party: Just one, Codenames, MonsDRAWsity, Sushi Go Party, Ethnos, Cosmic Frog Also, I think it's hard to pick favorites as it changes over time.. it depends what mood you're in, how much you've played a game, etc. Do any of these stand out as particularly good: Wingspan Photosynthesis Clank! Gloomhaven Cascadia The Crew - Dive Great Western Trail Holi Festival of Colors Merchants of Dunhuang Calico Cubitos Dale of Merchants Family of Games Five Tribes Food Chain Magnate Project Elite Millennium Blades Ginkopolus Brass Birmingham Glenmore 2 Dominion w/Expansion From your top 10, the only ones I've played are Quacks of quedlinburg and Castles of Burgandy I'll have to check out the others! Architect of West Kingdom Dinosaur Island + Liquid Expansion Istanbul Carpe Diem Honey Buzz Terra Mystica + Fire/Ice Expansion Raiders Norse Sea + Expansion Trajan Scythe taverns of tiefenthal Orleans + trade expansion
Wow, thank you you for sharing, and great suggestions. You are absolutely correct in our favourites changing depending on mood. It's really tough to nail down favourites sometimes... Thanks again😊♥️
Great list! Many on your list I have not played yet. I've only been in the hobby for less than a year and was curious about my top 10, so I tried the PubMeeple ranking engine that you did and this is what I got: 1. Res Arcana 2. Viticulture Essential Edition 3. Fantastic Factories 4. 7 Wonders Duel 5. Wingspan 6. Space Base 7. Calico 8. Trekking the World 9. Villagers 10. Tiny Towns
OHHHHHHH, I love your list! Still can't figure out why Calico is my 31st, like... WHAT??? I do like Trekking The World too, but like Lost Ruins Of "Arnaldo" (🤣), they just didn't show up as much, that was kind of weird.
Would any of the games on our list make your top 10? What are your top 10 boardgames in your collect?
Mine are weird selections like TMNT Pizza Power and Uno. Lol
@@laemotica8405 I love that though. That's why I love top 10s "from your collection" because it really shows each person's taste.
@@TheNerdShelves With only ~18 months in the hobby I have yet to play most games on your lists.

My current Top10 based on my enjoyment factor and not necessarily based on game play "quality"
1. Viscounts of the West Kingdom
2. Ticket to Ride when factoring the entire series (I view all non-original maps as expansions)
3. Hadrian's Wall
4. Mansions of Madness 2nd ed (best when several expansions enabled)

I get a lot of crazy looks when I mention that Trajan is my favorite Feld game. I think CoB is his best game but it's my number 3 of Feld games.
Lol, I know the feeling😊... If Trajan is your first and CoB is third, what is your second?
I own most the games on your list and I just love them all, it’s hard for me to pick a favorite game. Fantastic list 👍

That laugh about the upside down box of Istanbul? It's a laugh that says "I'll get you for this later..." :-)
Ha ha ha, maybe?!?!😆
So I did my own rankings. The funny thing is that when I was doing it, all the expansions were separated from the base game (have a look at this):
1. Everdell
2. Viticulture (Tuscany) Essential Edition
3. Viticulture Essential Edition
4. Takenoko
5. Viticulture - Visit from Rhine Valley
6. Viticulture - Moor Visitors Expansion
7. (Doesn't count as it's not in my collection - Tokaido)
7 (from my collection): Fields of Arle
8. Imperial Settlers
9. Fresco Expansion Modules 4,5,6
10. Five Tribes
So if I merge the Viticulture expansions into one game in the #2 spot and shift the other games up...
Adding: (Shadows Over Camelot not counting as I no longer have it in my collection)
Fresco (base including expansions 1,2,3 - but merging that with #9)
Rolling Realms (well, not sure print and plays count...)
Voyages of Marco Polo
Splendor

Does Scythe work well at 2 players? Looks amazing but I mainly game at 2 so reluctant to buy.
Hi Josh, great question. I would say that Scythe plays better at higher player counts; however, there is a way around that. With only 2 players, some like to add the Automa as a third. Or, and what we prefer, is to add the modular board expansion ruclips.net/video/sjlBUFTL7JM/видео.html. It shrinks the map, increasing tension between 2 players, otherwise the map is too big.
@@TheNerdShelves thank you for the helpful tip... Im just dicovering your channel and really enjoying the videos!
I just ordered Scythe yesterday. I'm facing a huge expectation problem with so many people ranking it so high. How can any game live up to this?
Ya, that's always an issue. It's so hard not to live up to hype. If you've done your research and feel like it's a game for you, then you'll be just fine. Let us know how it goes, we're really excited to hear😊
@@TheNerdShelves Well, the truth is I wouldn't have ordered it if it wasn't for the hype . . . as well as the 50% off sale.
Do you guys play scythe with just 2?
We do, but we also use the modular board which makes the map smaller and creates more tension with only 2 players.
So far from my top games. But it seems these two really found each other :-)

What was the name of the app that was used? I can't seem to find it and want to make sure I'm getting the name right
It's the Pub Meeple app. I have put a link on the description of this video🙂
WHAT A SHELF!
Hehehe, We love it! I built those doors to showcase our most prized possessions 😆 ..... You made our list FYI❤️
Duel is my number one! However, Architects is a close second😊
Both great games and you can't go wrong with either. Thanks for sharing😊
Have you played Hadrians Wall
We haven't... Do you you recommend it?
@@TheNerdShelves highly
@@theshogunstein6475 ok cool. We'll definitely check it out... 😊
My bank account manager needs to speak to you Mr. Shogun. 🤣
@@judiethenerdshelves I like spending other people's money
I haven't had a chance to play Architects or Orleans or Trajan yet, but want to. Lots of excellent choices here! - Honey Buzz, Istanbul, Castles of Burgundy, Carpe Diem, Dino Island. Too bad "Lost Arnaldo in Ruins" didn't make the cut :P
Hahaha, it was close though 😆
Orléans, CoB, Trajan, Quacks are in my top 10
I like your style 😉 😝 😀
I love your top 10 already, lol....
Ewwww Trajan! :P
I think Judie just wins this one. 😋 But with the exception of Scythe, most of my favourites were at the bottom of your respective lists. Then it started getting more beige! 😅
I knew, when making my list, you'd have something to say about all of the Felds... But that's why we love ya!
At least, having Quacks in my collection, but my collection has so many underrated small games :)
And that is awesome. It's always good to have underrated games. Can't play the "classics" all the time😊
I hear ya Serge! There are so many underrated games, and they deserve some love.

Interesting, and both are only on Judie's list; 7 Wonders Duel and Quacks... Although a couple were very close to both of our lists: Arnak, Parks and Wingspan for example... Thank you so much for watching, and thank you for sharing your list😊♥️
Lol....I am looking at your list going ooh....ahhh....oow...
What a list! That's awesome! 🥰
I think pubmeeple is a good way to rate the games.. but perhaps it's best to divide into types? For example, best
2 player : Santorini , Stellar, JaiPur, Feast of Odin, Carcasson, Battle Line, Lost Cities, Azul, Duel 7 Wonders, Pandemic Legacy Season 1
3 player+ : Bunny Kingdom , Renature, Blue Lagoon, KeyFlower, imhotep, Aboretum
4 player/party: Just one, Codenames, MonsDRAWsity, Sushi Go Party, Ethnos, Cosmic Frog
Also, I think it's hard to pick favorites as it changes over time.. it depends what mood you're in, how much you've played a game, etc. Do any of these stand out as particularly good:
Wingspan
Photosynthesis
Clank!
Gloomhaven
Cascadia
The Crew - Dive
Great Western Trail
Holi Festival of Colors
Merchants of Dunhuang
Calico
Cubitos
Dale of Merchants Family of Games
Five Tribes
Food Chain Magnate
Project Elite
Millennium Blades
Ginkopolus
Brass Birmingham
Glenmore 2
Dominion w/Expansion
From your top 10, the only ones I've played are
Quacks of quedlinburg and Castles of Burgandy
I'll have to check out the others!
Architect of West Kingdom
Dinosaur Island + Liquid Expansion
Istanbul
Carpe Diem
Honey Buzz
Terra Mystica + Fire/Ice Expansion
Raiders Norse Sea + Expansion
Trajan
Scythe
taverns of tiefenthal
Orleans + trade expansion
Wow, thank you you for sharing, and great suggestions. You are absolutely correct in our favourites changing depending on mood. It's really tough to nail down favourites sometimes... Thanks again😊♥️
p.s. if you like dinosaurs, some new games you should try are Fossilis, and Jurassic Parts
Ohhhh definitely. I'll definitely look into these too😊
Fossilis is awesome, I highly recommend this one!
That's great to hear. We'll definitely check it out😊
Great list! Many on your list I have not played yet. I've only been in the hobby for less than a year and was curious about my top 10, so I tried the PubMeeple ranking engine that you did and this is what I got:
1. Res Arcana
2. Viticulture Essential Edition
3. Fantastic Factories
4. 7 Wonders Duel
5. Wingspan
6. Space Base
7. Calico
8. Trekking the World
9. Villagers
10. Tiny Towns
Ohhhh great list❤️ thanks for sharing. We were shocked that Calico and Wingspan didn't make either of our lists.
OHHHHHHH, I love your list! Still can't figure out why Calico is my 31st, like... WHAT???
I do like Trekking The World too, but like Lost Ruins Of "Arnaldo" (🤣), they just didn't show up as much, that was kind of weird.
