    I love these top10 videos! You guys make a really fun and strong team because of all the different opinions and friendly banter.
    Agreed with Zee, Hive is an incredible two-player game. It doesn't even have a board so you can take it anywhere and is of very high quality.

    Wanted to say that I just checked CoolStuffInc.com today and some of those games we mentioned as being available may not be currently (just two days after the video was made...) I only checked a couple, but Forbidden Desert is currently out of stock at CSI...just trying to be forthcoming. Probably can be found elsewhere, though.
    EDIT: Also, from my list at least, Loot and Forbidden Island are currently out of stock...:(

  • @shumandaniele
    @shumandaniele 11 лет назад

    Thanks so much for this compliation. My family complained that my wish list of games had too much pricey stuff on it, so I used this video to put some on my list that were in the $15-$25 range.

  • @wesleyismith
    @wesleyismith 11 лет назад +1

    I'm a huge fan of BANG! It was one of my first games that I really got into. I've moved past it at this point because of the high barrier to entry for new players and how long the games can last. I was thrilled to hear about the dice version.
    I would like to mention that Sam and Zee both say the game is unavailable on CoolStuffInc, but that's only because they keep selling out. I watched it sell out, and then I signed up for the e-mail and bought it later that day when they restocked. If you are/were a fan of Bang! then I highly recommend this!

  • @tmblackw

  • @TheProteanGeek
    @TheProteanGeek 11 лет назад +6

    I wish I could go buy those games at somewhere near those prices. Here in Australia and in $AU Forbidden Island is $29 and taking into exchange rate that doesn't really cover it. Sure there is storage and shipping but boy do I wish those small cheap games were even close to that cheap here.

    • @hardbathsalts3143
      @hardbathsalts3143 6 лет назад

      With Australia being an economic satellite of China, and most games being MANUFACTURED in CHINA, I find it ridiculous that you Aussie gamers pay so much for games.

  • @ryanmlozano

  • @Otterpawp
    @Otterpawp 11 лет назад +1

    Sam Healey saves the day by mentioning The Resistance, not to mention at #1. This universe, (Avalon and Coup), are so amazing and is one of those games that picks up momentum fast and people just want to keep playing.
    I know Avalon can fit in a stocking (just checked!) and that would definitely be my number 1 pick.

    Hey, guys, I have a suggestion : a top 10 about games that don't have any text (on the plate and/or on the cards), like Alhanbra, that can be played in any language. Of course, th manuals could be in english.... as long as one player can read the manual, everybody else can play!

  • @bbblackwell
    @bbblackwell 11 лет назад +7

    Hey! I'm raising the banner for solo gamers! A lot of people don't have the time or social scenario to game with a group as much as they would like and playing a solo game like Friday can bridge the gap. Is the classic card game Klondike (solitaire) not a valid use of one's time? So why not Friday or Thunderstone? Better than sitting in front of the TV melting your brain by watching COPS or TMZ, is it not?

    • @weprintplastic
      @weprintplastic 7 лет назад +1

      Agreed... any board gaming is better than most TV these days. Including playing solo... I enjoy games like Memoir 44 solo, just playing either side to the best perceived option for each turn. Or sometimes I just play solo to get up to speed on the rules of a new game for when I do get the chance to play the game with a group on another day.

    • @RebeccaJoyner

  • @wroot_lt
    @wroot_lt 11 лет назад

    Saboteur was my first step in board gaming (first buy), which really hooked me and my colleagues. And i play Zooloretto the dice game all the time online and don't really care about the big box ones and you can't reroll here and can't take dice if you just rolled them, only on the next turn, so not completely yatzee, more of the dice allocation game. Hive pocket looks nice, though original one is pretty portable in a bag.

  • @Ziraffo
    @Ziraffo 11 лет назад

    New bohnanza boxes are smaller but they also contain less cards. Still I don't know all editions, but the larger box I owned had the 4 chocolate beans and the 24 brown beans. The small box edition didn't have those and I'm not even sure about the 22...
    In consequence, you could play with fewer players with the small box.

  • @Orion3T
    @Orion3T 10 лет назад

    When you guys give prices, are those including 'sales tax'?
    Just curious, I'm from the UK and the games all seem more expensive here so I'm wondering if the tax would account for some of the difference.

    • @dra900nka1n
      @dra900nka1n 9 лет назад

      Orion3T This is late, but on this side of the pond (I'm Canadian, but same principle applies), prices are always given before the sales tax is applied.

    "No Thanks" after "Flower Fall", I believe Sam would agree.

  • @Wolfie64
    @Wolfie64 11 лет назад +1

    Spoiler?
    Really surprised Hanabi and Space Hulk: Death Angel didn't make the list. And I was really not expecting Zee's #1 to show up and would have also mentioned it if it hadn't. Great choices all around and my coolstuff wishlist has almost doubled!

    • @sixthofinfinity
      @sixthofinfinity 11 лет назад +1

      ... I should not read the comments before finishing the video. Seriously though, SH: Death Angel should have been on the list. Its small, inexpensive, and really really fun. I remember Tom saying he liked it in his review of it as well.

  • @D6Damager
    @D6Damager 11 лет назад

    Chrononauts, Lunch Money, Get Bit, Gloom, and Fluxx(pick the theme they like most) are great too, all under $20, and will fit in a stocking

  • @JaKamps
    @JaKamps 11 лет назад

    I've played Castle Panic solo before, but I prefer to play board/card/dice games with other people as well. However, Friday does sound interesting to me. For a Solitary game there is that Titanic game, or D-Day Dice as well.

  • @JaKamps
    @JaKamps 11 лет назад

    Custom dice or novelty dice could be a cool stocking stuffer I think.

  • @Mackerachi
    @Mackerachi 11 лет назад

    Kind of amazed Dungeon Roll and Noir didn't make the list. Also a good one, Kakerlaken Poker.

  • @MrJobocan
    @MrJobocan 11 лет назад

    I do think Samurai Sword is better than Bang if you compare the core games, I feel it needs a bit more stuff in it. Maybe if it gets an expansion it'll be the definite stronger title between the 2.

  • @Waterd103

  • @PeterSchott
    @PeterSchott 11 лет назад

    I'd probably throw in a recommendation for Wurfel Bohnanza. I don't think CSI has it (but they might). I know you can get it from Amazon.de for a pretty reasonable price and the English rules are available at boardgamegeek. We got that earlier this year for under $15 and it's more than made up for that cost in play time.

  • @JamesArialPuck
    @JamesArialPuck 11 лет назад

    No HANABI? or Coloreto? :(

  • @JaKamps
    @JaKamps 11 лет назад

    Bang the Dice Game & Love Letter are great games! Most people (gamers) like to play it multiple times (but not everyone). I'd like to try Samurai Swords (I've never played the original Bang!)
    I would also recommend Martian Dice, Agent Hunter, & Resistance:Avalon (instead of the standard edition).

  • @majormarkd
    @majormarkd 11 лет назад

    Surprised you didn't pick Citadels. It's not a game I liked very much (played it 2 player) but it certainly would fall into the stocking-stuffer category.

      @GRex7777 7 лет назад

      Agreement comes from 2 years in the future (according to RUclips) Zombie Dice and the expansions are one of the most successful games I've ever brought to a game group. I'm actually thinking about picking up a second set actually, as well as the brain tokens some game stores sell for point markers. (And fun fact, I found a second base copy of the game for $3 in a Walmart discount section, though it's now gone back up to $15)

  • @MrJenssen
    @MrJenssen 11 лет назад +4

    Tom, how the hell could Mr Jack Pocket be a BAD choice in your opinion, when you HAVE NOT EVEN PLAYED THE GAME? Come on, man. You don't even remember when Zee showed it to you last time.
    Well, I remember. Because after he showed it, I went out and bought it. And I agree with him, it's a super-fast, light game that still has a ton of replayability, and it comes in a ridiculously small box.

    • @HeirToPendragon
      @HeirToPendragon 11 лет назад

      After playing it on my phone a lot, I'm of the opinion that the game isn't properly balanced. I have YET to beat the computer on really hard while I was playing Jack.

  • @CrabBaskets
    @CrabBaskets 11 лет назад

    Farkle is a great and fun dice game that I would add to that list.

  • @zenpvnk
    @zenpvnk 11 лет назад

    Wurfel Bohnanza is better than Bohnanza and is also much more stocking stuffer sized.
    Mr. Jack Pocket is awesome, Friday is really fun, and Zooloretto Dice is a _great_ 2 player game. Zee knows his stuff.
    Other great choices would be...
    - Citadels
    - Sleuth
    - Biblios
    - Hanabi
    - Jaipur
    - Hey That's My Fish (FF small version)
    - Battle Line
    - Felix the Cat in the Sack
    - Fish Fish (for kids)
    - Anomia

    You can print and play Pixel Tactics for like 4 bucks. C'mon!
    Also by the end of December Level 99 says everything should be out. Pixel Tactics is the best two player card game after Netrunner. Super dynamic, super fun and if you like sprite graphics (Unlike Sam) and can see the beauty in simplistic characters and want a better Magic the Gathering, Pixel Tactics One, Two and Three when it comes out. (Pssssht it's dope!)
