Just One and Codenames work well for nongamers because they are more group social activities than a games.

Absolutely, everything I pull one of those out, it makes me think how beautiful board gaming is and how not everything has to with a "board" or difficult. It's why I make this channel, to bring play to more people's lives and these games are just so simple and wonderful, they will be forever keepers.

I enjoy heavier games but am always keeping an eye out for games I can share with less experienced gamers. I have a well-rounded collection at this point. Also, Codenames is my favorite game; the GOAT. I find that King of Tokyo can be a little light for experienced gamers; however, with the Power-Up expansion it's great.

3 family/gateway games you may want to try is Fresco, Stone Age and Dice Town. Easy Peasy and Unique. Of course there are many, but i teach Newbies new games at my board gaming group and these 3 never fail. Good luck on your journey.

This is a new approach to reviews: data heavy but with a clear human element. I’m a heavy trick-taking gamer and while The Crew and Nokusu Dice really scratches that itch, it’s wise to start off new gamers with Skull King and Potato Man first so they get the ideas and basic skills needed. And sometimes a certain game and mechanic may never have the chance to appeal. I’m like that with TtR. Thanks for the video!

Cascadia is my favorite game right now. I think that is easy to learn, but there is a bit more to it in figuring out what to draft and where to place everything. Azul, which appears just out of the top 10 on your graph, is my number 2 game. Just One is a great filler or something to start the evening. I agree that The Crew might not work for someone that has never played a trick taking game. Took a bit for my girlfriend to figure it out. Haven't gone back to it in a while. Codenames I've only played at two, I think, and also played Codenames Duet. It can be a struggle to come up with clues that can get more than 1 word without risking the assassin. Some other good gateway games - For Sale, No Thanks, Super Mega Lucky Box, and Point Salad.

Nice video. It's another proof how different persons like different games and relying in a top 10 doesn't guarantee success when introducing a game to someone. It's like music, food, books, etc. Anyway, I've read that there's no game to please everyone, but with so many games at least one will be enjoyable for a specific individual.

1. Why are some content creators chosen? You left out some big ones, though you say “I looked at all the KZbinrs” with some caveat that doesn’t apply. Maybe these are the channels you prefer? So it’s kind of biased and not comprehensive, but that’s what your caveat should be. 2. I thought your video would be more data driven, but the majority of your video is just reusing clips from other channels - did you ask their permission? Is permission required? That should be addressed in your video. 3. I would recommend BGG to be included. Seems like a good second step.
@WhatCanIPlay. 8 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for your comment. 1. Firstly, I'm very new to the board game community and for that I'm learning alot, something I do with everything is use data to inform me, so as with all my videos so far it has been answering a question I want answered, then I do the research into it. So put simply, I may not know of all the youtubers, I simply used youtube search and search for top 10 board games of 2023, and went from there, I started this back in December and was well aware new youtubers made their videos, I was chasing some to try include all, but frankly I stopped. If some day this channel takes off and I have a community and help I assure you more rigor will be applied. So it's a factor of time , resources and well since I didn't really expect it to get some traction bit of me just wanting to get it done. 2. As for permission, it's covered under fair use, if I had to ask for permission this video would never have come out. Ideally I would have been able to present the data and give my opinion on them, but I have not played them, so the video felt empty not giving some thoughts on each game, that is why I choose to include their thoughts. Again as I learn and get better at this whole KZbin thing I wish for a different end product, maybe even a collab with them giving me a new unseen clip reexplaining their thoughts, but something like would be a massive undertaking and well frankly someone with my following would not be taken seriously if I were to approach. As for using BGG. Everyone has access to that resource I wanted to provide a new data set, as I value word of mouth recommendations from trusted sources. I appreciate your feedback, and I'm listening. I too want these videos to be better, but unfortunately I have a lot to learn both about boardgames, data manipulation, editing and youtube. I'm not an expert in any of these, just above average and capable at it. And that's the niche I'm trying carve out for my self. I hope if you come back 1 year from now you would notice improvements on all fronts.

In my opinion some of the best games of 2023 are: Thunder Road Vendetta Dune Imperium Uprising Unmatched Adventures Tales to Amaze Pirates of Maracaibo World Wonders Forest Shuffle The Witcher Old World has to be the most boring, ultra slow and long, expensive game I have ever tried and already after the 2nd play we sold it, totally not worth the time and money.

This is why I made the list everyone has different opinions, whilst this list is only 9 channels and about 15 different opinions, its crazy how they differ so much. This is why I love data, it whilst the underlining metrics are subjective when you wash it with more data sets, you get some stand outs. I hope in future as my channel grows i can increase the data sets to my community and beyond.
