Holy shit the fkin humor in this absolutely killed me. “I think there was one sad fuck in Australia or something who tried to recreate the entire F1 racetrack season… I don’t know if he or she or they were successful. It’s one of those games where you’re gonna stick it in a big tub and every so often you’re gonna dig in and go fuckin apeshit trying to come first.” I was dying 😂
Recently discovered your channel and love your videos! I really enjoyed this top 100 and am definitely gonna buy a game from your top 10 soon. Thank you BoardgameBollocks and happy holidays!
I look forward to your top 100 board games every year around this time and the threat of coming around my house and getting beaten up. You and your board game rants are now a part of the holiday season. Thank you so much for making them and Merry Christmas, and to all my fellow board gamers here watching and commenting, from your extended family here in the States. PS I bought Picture Perfect because of your opinion. Also not sure where The Godfather: Corleone's Empire would fall on your list but it's a good game if you can find a copy.
Your top 100 was a very enjoyable ride again, thanks a lot for your efforts in making these videos. Have some nice holidays and see you back again next year!
Thanks for pulling this together, really appreciate you efforts. We toolove Kemet and Cyclades, my son just got Kemet out after watching your video. Wants to play Cyclades later today. Will look in the bargain bin for the Last Kingdom.
Merry Christmas mate! Great list and a great watch. Some more games to add to my collection and appreciate your perspective and recommendations… Bring on 2024 🎉
Merry Christmas, mate! Mage Knight is one of few titles that intimidated me, but once I learned it (during Covid's heydey of 2020), it's in my Top 25 of all games or Top 10 solo games. Twilight Imperium is one, like you, that we get to the gaming table only a few times per year. I did develop a quick start for players called Future Advances which cuts out about 2-3 hours of gameplay from the rather boring beginning, resolving a series of builds and moves in about 15 min. For Kemet, this is one that after my first game, I was fortunate to have jumped on the Matagot crowdfunding campaign...love it! Obsession is one that I had the chance to play a number of times on BGA before buying it last year. A few weeks ago, I asked Dan Halligan, the designer, to teach the game to my friend at PAX Unplugged here in Philly...he did; delightful.
Fantastic set of videos. Very enjoyable. Surprisingly the final 10 were mostly bollocks board games from boardgames bollocks (apart from no 3), but I had great fun watching! Keep up the good work and good luck growing the channel next year.
Great surprise to see The Last Kingdom on the list! That reminds me I need to catch up on the new seasons. Fantastic picks. What a ride! Happy Christmas!
I was waiting for this list. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Great board gaming channel and I also loved the fighting fantasy books countdown. 👍
I'm waiting for ages for a reprint and restock of PitchCar. Pretty dope dexterity game from what I've seen that could be played by anyone. Noice top 10 mate. Happy new year!
Great top 100, just found them today and binged watched them all. Subscribed and looking forward to looking through the channel 👍🏻 Makes a change to see someone English making board game vids and not worrying about being family friendly or PC 👌🏻
Fast becoming one of my favourite channels, keep it up! I've played Stationfall 4 times so far, and all have been memorable and crazy and stupid and just so much fun. Only one time did I play with a random guy at a convention and he got really upset because he missed that he could take an extra action or something and it pretty much knocked him out of contention 9and we misunderstood a particular character ability), but like, lighten up, guy! It's a chaotic game, just have a laugh and play again and screw someone else over. Anyway, never playing with him again! Merry Christmas to you too, and looking forward to your New Year Rant!
I have really enjoyed the top 100 board games. You convinced me to have a punt on Carrooka and it hasn't disappointed. The whole family love it. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas.
So pleased to see Last Kingdom on this list. One of the games of the year for me too but as you say it's gone completely under the radar including on YT games reviewers, most of whom haven't mentioned it at all.
Good list, although I’d never even heard of “Station fall” or that snooker-crockinole stepchild. Cyclades is a good choice, although i was a bit disappointed not to see “Bellends of the South of England” on your list. Happy Christmas, man, and thanks for the sphincter tearing irreverence you give us throughout the year.
Thanks for all the videos. Refreshing, against the grain and gave me a LOT of spending targets that I had no idea about, like The Last Kingdom. Also, I was adding Cyclades to the basket when you've said a reprint+ is coming. It doesn't freaking matter at all if I agree with some or not (for example I hate Obsession), what matters is that in all those videos you helped me more than entire channels in years. Ironically, your videos seem the "least" bollocks, currently. Not meant as an insult, but conceptually. I'm sure you're not short of that particular hairy commodity ;) Dudes on the map is my fav genre, so your recommendations are very important, knowing that this is your area as well, most likely. Our of curiosity, Cry Havoc (2016 Portal Games) was "haven't played" or "is shit"?
Brilliant...just subscribed...boom purchased Stationfall on the 2nd hand market...not the normal type of game I play...will see how week go....keep up that the dry humor going...good times
Cyclades is my favorite. As a measure of its greatness, at least four people I’ve introduced it to later bought the game (2 at the table, even though I own it and play it regularly).
I enjoy your channel. Your top games definitely don’t mesh with mine though. And that’s ok, everyone has a different style. Thank you for sharing your list!
Happy Christmas to you too. I got in on the legendary Cyclades as well because of your constant praising. But am since doubting if i had better just bought the existing well received one thatn this rebalanced new edition. Games released this year that made it on my top 10 instantly: The Warp - a 4x type Walls of Scydonia - catapult dexterity game in which you are also errecting a lot stuff and see whose sturdy tower stands longest. (Including strategy cards like "tornado" which forces your opponent to slide his fingers through his own walls) Both of those games also count to the best indie games category. Thanks for the videos once more. Best wishes to your family.
Happy Christmas. Enjoy your well deserved rest. Thanks also for being responsible enough to spread the No Drinking or Heroin and Driving messaging. Thanks for justifying my purchase of Stationfall which I still have not been able to get to the table, but I am hopeful for the new year. Thanks for being a breath of fresh air in the RUclips board game space. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Just played a 6p free-for-all Cyclades game last week, with our favourite modules from the expansions (Special Metropoli, Kronos + titans, Divine Artifacts + Magic Items, Priestesses)... absolutely epic game!! And I note you broke your "not re-buying a game we already have" rule for the Legendary edition 😉 ... me too. Happy Hols
Happy Christmas to you too, interesting list, nice that you have a good selection of classics and older titles and not just banging on about all new games like some channels. Did you go balls deep on the Legendary Cyclades? what are your thoughts on some of the changes? I've only just picked up the OG since backing the new KS, probs a bit daft but meh.
Any thoughts on catacombs? I know you really love dexterity board games and i saw a bunch during the list. PS: thanks for the amazing videos, a marry Christmas to you and your family.
Never played Cyclades but I trusted your judgement and backed the Legendary Edition this summer… Let’s see what I got myself into (whenever it arrives in 2025…)

Great list and presented in such a lovely an encouraging way. That's the spirit of Christmas right there. So heartwarming and uplifting..
Humbug 😂
Recently discovered your channel and love your videos! I really enjoyed this top 100 and am definitely gonna buy a game from your top 10 soon. Thank you BoardgameBollocks and happy holidays!
Brilliant set of videos. Have enjoyed watching these. Great to see Carrooka in the top 10. Merry Christmas!
I love playing "Hide the Sausage" but my wife's saying she's waiting for me to get the expansion.
I think she’s waiting for you to get the expanded extension! It’s amazing what saline can do.
You can borrow my magnifying glass

I’ve not played Godfather. I missed it when the stock was being cleared on the cheap.
Thanks for the kind word mate…you’re safe for another year 👍🏻
Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thank you for all those videos.
I love your list and the way you bring it. Great humor. Also a good way to discover "new" games.
I look forward to this list every year. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the vids this year, really enjoyed them
Merry Xmas, and thank you for the top 100 videos, they were really nice.
Your top 100 was a very enjoyable ride again, thanks a lot for your efforts in making these videos. Have some nice holidays and see you back again next year!
Thanks for pulling this together, really appreciate you efforts. We toolove Kemet and Cyclades, my son just got Kemet out after watching your video. Wants to play Cyclades later today.
Will look in the bargain bin for the Last Kingdom.
Happy Christmas, amazing channel. Thanks for the laughs!
Great videos. Always have a laugh. Have a Merry Christmas , Chris from Brisbane.
Definitely the funniest top 10 list I've seen this year. Happy holidays mate.
Some new ones on here I want to pick up now. Stationfall, Last Kingdom and Obsession. Thanks for the list, the laughs and merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas mate! Great list and a great watch. Some more games to add to my collection and appreciate your perspective and recommendations… Bring on 2024 🎉
Merry Christmas to the boardgame bollocks family. Keep the content coming. We love it.!
Excellent list, many in my top 10 too! Merry Christmas!
Great video.
Great List
Merry Christmas, Mate.

Merry Christmas, thanks for the top 100 🎉
This Top 10 List makes my Top 10 List of Top 10 Lists. It is actually the only entry on the list, so well done for occupying all 10 spots.
Merry xmas, thanks for taking the time to make lovely video.
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas to you.
Great list! Happy Christmas!
Great work🎉
Merry Christmas legend 🎄
Brilliant! Cyclades was one of the first games I got and it's a classic. Been keeping my eye on obsession. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄🎅🍻
Cheers for this, happy Christmas boss.
Fantastic set of videos. Very enjoyable. Surprisingly the final 10 were mostly bollocks board games from boardgames bollocks (apart from no 3), but I had great fun watching! Keep up the good work and good luck growing the channel next year.
Thank you for your service. Happy holidays
Thanks for the great content throughout the year! Stationfall sounds a blast .... have a brilliant Christmas!
You too bruv 👍🏻
Thanks for he videos, Happy Christmas🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Merry Christmas to the best board game channel on the internet. I just got Obsession and can’t wait to get it to the table. Cheers.
👍🏻
Merry Christmas, thanks for a year of awesome tabletop gaming videos!
LOL, happy holidays! Enjoyed the videos as usual
Great surprise to see The Last Kingdom on the list! That reminds me I need to catch up on the new seasons.
Fantastic picks. What a ride! Happy Christmas!
I was waiting for this list. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Great board gaming channel and I also loved the fighting fantasy books countdown. 👍
👍🏻
Thanks for the great year of videos! Merry Christmas to the sweetest guy on RUclips!
I’m not going to shag you mate 😂
@@BoardGameBollocks I wouldn't expect it, I'm here for the positive, wholesome commentary. My wife dictates how all of that other stuff is handled.
Love that Carrooka made the top ten and deservedly so. SUCH a fun game and, as you say, how did no one think of this before?
I'm waiting for ages for a reprint and restock of PitchCar. Pretty dope dexterity game from what I've seen that could be played by anyone. Noice top 10 mate. Happy new year!
Epic top 10! Marry Christmas!!
Nobody talks enough about KEMET! Thanks for having it on the list! Happy Christmas mate!
Great top 100, just found them today and binged watched them all. Subscribed and looking forward to looking through the channel 👍🏻

All things, good or bad, must eventually come to an end. Fortunately there is next year! Always enjoy your list.
Cheers!
You convinced me to get stationfall with your review and now it’s a favorite amongst the table!
Game of the year possibly
Great series!
Merry Christmas! Looking forward to more Bollocks next year!
Cyclades may have not changed but you’ve ascended to my top board game channel! Happy New Year 🎉 gonna definitely get Obsession and Stationfall
Thanks for doing the list. Cheers
That was quite a ride. Thanks.
I have really enjoyed the top 100 board games. You convinced me to have a punt on Carrooka and it hasn't disappointed. The whole family love it. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas.

I spit out my coffee twice! Brilliant! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, looking forward to another year of great videos from you. I hope Santa comes tonight 😉
Depends where
So pleased to see Last Kingdom on this list. One of the games of the year for me too but as you say it's gone completely under the radar including on YT games reviewers, most of whom haven't mentioned it at all.
Memoir 44 in memory 😢
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the entertainment.
That's a great list (I made it through). Merry Christmas!

We have it but find it unbalanced
Never try to hide the sausage in a mage night.
Fucking love this and your opinions! Consider more lists in the future!
Another amazing run of videos
25 different races in TI4 now. They added the 25th one on the 25th anniversary of the original games release.
Just found your channel. Holy fucking balls my good man! The best boardgame channel I've seen! Wow. Thanks and bullocks brother!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
Stationfall is so underrated. It's always incredible fun and every game is a story you'll be able to tell. Absolutely love it. Top 10 for me for sure.
Brilliant...just subscribed...boom purchased Stationfall on the 2nd hand market...not the normal type of game I play...will see how week go....keep up that the dry humor going...good times
I love that you shaved for Obsession, theme is strong
Sensitive skin mate
Cyclades is my favorite. As a measure of its greatness, at least four people I’ve introduced it to later bought the game (2 at the table, even though I own it and play it regularly).
I enjoy your channel. Your top games definitely don’t mesh with mine though. And that’s ok, everyone has a different style. Thank you for sharing your list!
Thanks for keeping it real. We love Cyclades too. Merry Christmas from Down Under.
👍🏻
Thanks for letting me know Carooka existed, I needed that in my life and Im looking forward to acquire it sometime next year.
Merry Xmas 🎁🎄
Congrats

Sounds like I need to try Stationfall and Cyclades! Thanks for another great year, mate. Merry Christmas and that holiday bullshit.

Thanks for justifying my purchase of Stationfall which I still have not been able to get to the table, but I am hopeful for the new year.

Merry Christmas. What an excellent load of Bollocks!
Disappointed Zombie Dice didn’t make it in the top 100. I thought you and your family loved it! Great series! Happy holidays!
It was 101
Number 10!! Thank you:-)
So very punchy. One of my favorite channels. Hope your new year is bollouck free!
Just played a 6p free-for-all Cyclades game last week, with our favourite modules from the expansions (Special Metropoli, Kronos + titans, Divine Artifacts + Magic Items, Priestesses)... absolutely epic game!!
And I note you broke your "not re-buying a game we already have" rule for the Legendary edition 😉 ... me too.
Happy Hols
Nice. Happy Christmas
My top 5 would be Shadows of
Brimstone, betrayal at house
on the hill, mansions of madness, sleeping gods and Waste Knights.
I spat my tea out when you said "hide the sausage" it just came out of no where 😂😂
I just added Stationfall to my future game buy list.
Kemet, The Last Kingdon and Stationfall are incredible games! Fantastic list as always. Will have to give Mage Knight a play some time
Yes! Will happen next year at some point.
I knew we’d be hearing about proud monuments as soon as Obsession… came up. Ahem.
Happy Christmas to you too, interesting list, nice that you have a good selection of classics and older titles and not just banging on about all new games like some channels. Did you go balls deep on the Legendary Cyclades? what are your thoughts on some of the changes? I've only just picked up the OG since backing the new KS, probs a bit daft but meh.
It look good. Dunno about the new art but time will tell
Any thoughts on catacombs? I know you really love dexterity board games and i saw a bunch during the list.
PS: thanks for the amazing videos, a marry Christmas to you and your family.
It’s great. I did a review a while back
I have enjoyed these top 100 thanks looking at the Walter Raleigh one
Francis Drake?
@@BoardGameBollocks that’s it 😂😂😂, sorry! Elizabeth I period not my strong area!
Yay! Love for Obsession. Glad you like it as much as my wife and I!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Never played Cyclades but I trusted your judgement and backed the Legendary Edition this summer… Let’s see what I got myself into (whenever it arrives in 2025…)
Good move
I want it now as well, but I'm not a KS fan.
The funniest youtuber of boardgames
👍🏻
Favourite solo game is “Hide the sausage”… 😂 Priceless !!!
Merry Christmas!
Happy to see Cyclades still nr 1, really really enjoy it too!
Christmas ain’t Christmas without this list - happy Christmas, mate.
Cheers mate.
Absolutely love the narration and the foul language! Love it! Happy new year!
