12 games I can see reaching my top 100, but I've only played them once. | The Cream Of The Crop #1

[@jamesmorgan1967]

Oh my gosh, I was not expecting you to mention The Magnificent. I've played this multi-player a couple of times and solo 2-3 times. Love the art and mechanics of the game and need to get it down from the shelf again!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

It’s such a good game! More people need to try it! It’s definitely one I am looking to add to the collection soon. 👍🏻

[@AndrewWatsonChangingWay]

Great idea for a video. My "suspect it's a great game after only one play" list is headed by Orleans.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed! I still need to try Orleans! It’s a classic!

[@grog3514]

It's a really good game but don't judge it until you play with the trade/intrigue board. It really completes the game.

[@warpo007]

don't you dare cut the hair!! (lol do what you like really :P)

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Haha!! I do this often. Once my hair gets to a certain length it just gets so annoying and I always get it chopped. 😂 Even though I LOVE the long hair. My hair grows fast!

[@briant2438]

Nice hat. Looks good on you. Wingardium leviosaaa. 😂 You crack me up, Jenna. Love your timestamps. Sankore looks great. I have several of these. Good tastes.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Thanks Brian! 😊 glad I can make you laugh! Love making the timestamps!

[@sorrowsong08]

Your number 1 is probably my favorite or tied for my favorite with Let's go to japan for releases this year. The combos are insane, I love it.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Awww yeah I loved Let’s Go To Japan as well!! So many amazing games. 😊

[@ChewieHuey]

OMG! We have the same tastes! The only one from your list I don't have is Witchstone.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Yay! That’s awesome! Love finding people with similar taste in games! 😊

[@tyleryoung3158]

La Granja recently rocketed into my top 10. It’s just so good.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Yeah it REALLY surprised me!! I really enjoyed it! Can’t wait to play it again! 😊

[@blackboardgaming5348]

I recently played Skyrise and immediately picked up at my local board game store. They kickstarted it, so I was able to get the deluxe copy. That game is really good!

Next in the series, the top ten games I 've never played.

Awwww thanks for the shoutout!!! Love you Jenna!!!

If you are not currently please consider donating your cut hair. There are a number of organizations that use donated hair to make wigs for people in need like cancer patients.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Definitely looking to donate it! My hair is unfortunately dyed though so I’ll have to find one that accepts dyed hair. 😊

[@ramyahoo]

Hot and talented, plus a board gamer, big win

[@corsa180]

I've given up on ever being able to choose my top 100...or, heck, even my top 10 games! Closest I can come is to determine what my S-tier, A-tier, etc. games are. Look forward to your top 100, and I appreciate the effort put into it.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

It is truly so hard! We are so blessed to have so many amazing games to play these days! 🥰 Can’t wait for the top 100! I get to chat about all my favourite games! Woohoo!

[@floydandtotoro]

loved this list!! good job Jenna! I just got the John Muir Trailblazer one and am so excited to try it. have you played Garden Nation? that one surprised us and we love it! no one talks about it😅

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

So glad you liked it!! 😊 I haven’t tried Garden Nation but it has definitely been one I wanted to try solely because of the name and theme! I’ll have to check it out!! 😊🪴

[@MegaSNES64]

Trailblazer is really good and you can play it casual or brutally hard… and everything in between. You can adapt it to your mood.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I can’t wait to play that one more! 😊👏🏻

[@foglight11]

This was a fun video! I want to try so many of those games now! I love when you talked about only playing something once and then not being able to stop thinking about it. I have that happen so often.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I love that feeling! That’s when you know it’s a good game! 😊

[@boardtoplay]

Yes let’s play Witchstone again! I’m always down to play it!😊

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Yesss!!! I need to play it again!! 😊👏🏻

[@DevonTalksTabletop]

Jenna talking about Veiled Fate: “I don’t like talking to people” 😂 Speak your truth, friend 🙌🏻

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Haha! 😂 Awh Devon! I miss your face! Hope you are getting a chance to relax after all that travel! Can’t wait to see you at Gen Con! 😊

[@DevonTalksTabletop]

@@TheBoardGameGarden excited to see you there as well!

[@bretecollins74]

Have you played Nova Roma?

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I haven’t yet! I want to though! I think that might be the next one I learn!! It looks great! 😊

[@bretecollins74]

@@TheBoardGameGarden Multiple mini-games that you do at different powers based on how you place your workers.

[@laurencesingh3948]

Looking forward to your top 100 series. That's exciting! Also, by the way, Totally Tabled has a really great solo playthrough of Inventions. He teaches as he plays and makes it really easy to follow. That could be a good way to learn the solo and have it feel less intimidating.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I’m so excited for it!! 😊 and good to know! Thanks for letting me know! I’ll have to check it out.

You didn't mention Cartographers -- another good polyomino that is popular right now. Just released on BGA

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I love Cartographers! I’ve played that game a ton so it definitely isn’t on this list! Spoiler, it’s definitely in my top 100. 😊❤

[@HoganLong]

@@TheBoardGameGarden Ok that's right -- these are the runners-up -- I forgor for a moment. 🤷

[@shockwavemasta]

Great picks! I'm also looking for a nice copy of Skyrise

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Thanks! Yeah, I will not settle! 😂

[@jasonv8516]

Perfect!☺️

[@AdKoolaid]

"Holy poop" I love it lol

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I get a bit too excited talking about games. 😂

[@griff2259]

Where do I get hat?

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

The hat is from teebletop.com 😊

[@alexwilson9881]

Cute hat!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Hehe why thank you!!! 😊

[@df15ch13]

1st!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@timboslice9299]

Uh oh! Don’t go too wild with the hair Jenna! lol…. whatever you end up doing though I’m sure will look fantastic 😊 love the idea you had for this video and I want to play World Wonders and Veiled Fate sooo much!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Don’t worry! I’m doing something similar to what I have done in the past and I really like it. 😊 hopefully you can try out those two games soon. I really enjoyed them! I want to try World Wonders solo soon!

[@andreisteopan3551]

Thee hat was not a good idea, it puts some bad shadows on your face 😢
