I taught Horrified to a 10 year old and to a drunk friend. It went smooth both times, maybe a drunk 10 year old would be a bit too much though.

I should have had my parents get drunk first and the game would have clicked with them. I guess that’s the price of bringing a hobby board game to family game night. 😂

For me, Sagrada (in addition to Splendor - but it has become apparent that Sagrada went over better than Splendor... Yes, I know... Different type of game... I have never played Century Spice Road, btw - only the 2nd of the series, I think).

Great picks! Mine are: 1. Just one - fastest teach ever. You chose a a random word without seeing it, everybody writing a similar word, show them to each other, similar words are removed and then you try to guess the word. And that’s it, you are ready to play. 2. Las Vegas - Throw dice, choose a number from the die result, take all the dice and add them to the casino with the same number. If you win at the end of the round, you take the money. Easy peasy. 3. Foundations of Rome - this game is simple, but offers strategic depth and looks spectacular on the table.

Hogwarts Battle is an excellent Pandemic alternative, but like many Ascension-likes, it suffers from a cloggy market and lack of deck culling (iykyk). And perhaps a lack of Dominion-style soft synergies

I enjoyed this video and enjoy you guys as reviewers/content creators, BUT.... speaking as someone whose wife will switch off when there are more than three things happening from a rules point of view, a lot of these won't get to the table - I have been looking at 7 Wonders Architects for awhile so may give that a go, and already have Cascadia (which I play solo) ....but to give an example, my wife LOVES Splendor, but when I bought Marc Andre's follow up (Splendor designer), Majesty for the Realm, she felt this had too many rules, as did Century Spice Road (often described as a "Splendor Killer")... I would suggest Ticket to Ride, but I understand you're looking for newer games. I would also suggest looking at Spiel des Jahres winners (not Kennerspiele) as there are a lot of straight forward games on that list...

This is a big concern of mine. I got all these amazing games but some are quite complex. I've had my eye on Star Wars Deckbuilding Game for awhile now. I think the time has come to scoop it up. Thanks guys! You are the best!

Great video. One that you guys might consider is Foundations of Rome/Metropolis. I've taught it to 15 people this year and it's been super easy to teach each time. You only have three actions: take income, but property, or build a building. Great video as always.

Planet Unknown and Project L are my faves from this list. I'd also add Terrorscape!! 10/10 and easy to learn.

Actually Base Dominion is one of the simplest games to teach yet has vast replay ability.

Most Knizia games fall within this category - High Society, Through the Desert and Ra are all good options.

It's hard to find these kinds of games. I call these "party games for gamers". I'd take any of those games over exploding cats, etc.
@janisbernans65413 ай бұрын
I think Dungeon Fighter is a great one. It's super easy and fun. You can set it up, start playing, and explain details along the way. It's a great game that's not a party game but makes you laugh as a party game.

I have only played Planet Unknown from this list but I feel like I COULD play every single one of them right now. Great choices! The one I would want to try most is Freelancers. I hear so many good things about it, it sounds like a lot of fun. If I had to teach someone an easy to learn game it would most probably be Zing-a-Zam or Savernake Forest because those are the easy to learn games I own 😂
