Which Disney Board Game is Best? | VS. Series | Best Disney Games Ranked | Board Games & Brew

[@ams20518]

Agree Sidekicks was frustrating to play. We really struggled with the rules.

[@ams20518]

You can play Paint the Roses on BGA...It's really good! Especially if you like logic puzzle type things.

[@ams20518]

Definitely play Haunted Mansion! It's wonderful!

[@justinwebb2214]

So a Disney game we just picked up and gets little/no recognition is Snow White and the seven Dwarves: A Gem Stone Mining game. So far we’ve been loving it. It’s a very simply push you luck game that our non-gaming family was able to enjoy and created a lot of laughs and people pushing their luck too far. It’s out of print and hard to find, I was lucky enough to find someone to trade for it, but something you should look into considering your guys love for Disney (which we very much understand and relate with lol)

[@wc3552]

More Disney Games I enjoy, Disney Codenames, Disney ColorBrain, Disney EyeFoundIt, DisneyParks Candyland, Disney pictureka, Disney 5 second rule, and Disney Villains Monopoly!! Loving your videos!!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you!!!

[@BoxedMeeples]

We love Villainous as well, but have had the exact same issues with the Marvel version, possibly as we also play at 2. We have been saying for ages we need to give it another shot too, maybe will try some of your suggestions and take out the events

[@northabbot7116]

I recently picked up Sidekicks and Shadowed Kingdoms for like $12 total at Target. I knew why they were on clearance, but it’s a steal nonetheless

[@natrc4593]

Happy belated birthday to Jamie!

[@FostertheMeeple]

She said thank you!

[@mandalyngarrett5390]

Marvel villanous per the directions suggests just playing one shared event at a time. That's what we do.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Good to know thanks!

[@twotonesmybones]

would love to see a review of marvel villianious with loki, didnt know it fixed marvel villianious. like the upside down gargoyle edit!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahah Jamie was very proud of that one!!

[@MrNorthwestern]

Sad to hear Sidekicks was clunky, I had hopes that it would be worth adding to my limited collection. As a fellow Villainous fanatic, I came around to appreciate Marvel Villainous more once I had the characters down. I would recommend that you play a few rounds under the "Inevitable" mode where you can only have 1 Global Event in play at a time. Once you really understand each character's strategy and gameplay, you can go to "Undying" mode to add in the ability for 4 events to be live at once. The two things that will likely stay as problems with Marvel Villainous will be that it's a little less balanced at 2 players, and that the cards are not a clear in their interpretation. I have a few that I read and say "this is my interpretation" and that's how my house plays them.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ok this is good to know Eric! Thanks. We’re committed to giving it another try so this will definitely help!

[@randalladkins7452]

Great video! Disney Villainous is easily my favorite Disney game and my favorite asymmetric gameplay game! :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s an amazing game!! Happy to hear you also love it Randall!

[@anikdoucet6240]

10:58 - Wait what's going on with my youtube... look closer to Jeff and the game.. ohhhh this is why🤣 🤣

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha Jamie thought she was very clever on that one!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Me and Kate are gonna watch this one together! Excited too :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

Wait until you see Saturdays video ;)

[@bryanscollick8305]

I am a big fan of Disney Villainous, unfortunately my family is not😂. I actually did find a solo AI on BGG to play it solo! I hope it comes to BGA some time in the future! Take care and thanks for showing me some new Disney games!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for watching Bryan!

[@janellecahir2372]

Happy Birthday Week Jamie!

[@FostertheMeeple]

She said thank you!!

[@maggieotter793]

I think I need to try Villainous another shot, we played it at a game day event and I think it was more the person who taught it than the game itself that made a negative impact 😆🤣

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yea give it another shot!!

[@mrmeow2297]

Sorcerer Arena!

[@amandagrubbs3000]

My parents bought the Haunted Mansion board game one year for Christmas and we still haven’t figured out how to play 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@FostertheMeeple]

Oh no hahah

[@ThePMStatic]

Have you guys had a chance to play The Haunted Mansion game yet? It doesn’t beat out Villainous for me but it’s a good time. I’m excited to check out the Big Thunder Mountain game. Marbles and Deck Building, sounds like it could be an interesting combo.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yes!! It makes an appearance at the end of the video (we forgot to add it into the ranking system haha). We enjoy it for sure! Yea big thunder mountain looks awesome!

[@drewhead1292]

Hey...that Shadowed Kingdom game looks interesting. You should do a playthrough video on it.

[@FostertheMeeple]

PASSSSSSSS

[@drawdeepwater]

Hey you two! This is Treasure. It was so awesome to meet you at DTW! Totally love this video! I just saw Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Barnes & Noble! Have you had a chance to play it yet? If so, what are your thoughts?

[@FostertheMeeple]

We don’t have Barnes & Noble here :(. And our equivalent (Chapters) doesn’t really carry boardgames. But hopefully we can grab it next time we are there!!

[@jkledis]

Well - I love Villianous as well - Parade must play at a higher player count - I will have to check it out! I almost purchased Sidekicks but have heard it is clunky - Eric Lang should be able to fix it! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jamie!🥳🥳🥸🤯😻🎅🧞‍♂️🧜‍♀️

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you Jim!

[@ams20518]

Is Parade really "Disney?" Seems like it's Lewis Caroll and not "Alice in Wonderland"?

[@Noc.Mchale]

Return of the Headless Horseman is a fun Disney game. It would be interesting to see where it would be ranked.

[@blue_hour_appeared]

Loved this video! Have you ever played Toy Story: Obstacles and Adventures? I know it’s technically Pixar, but I really enjoy this game! 💕

[@FostertheMeeple]

We haven’t! Will check it out

[@blue_hour_appeared]

@@FostertheMeeple It’s a really cute deckbuilding game and there are boxes to open after completing each adventure ☺️ Hope you guys will enjoy it if you do decide to try it out 💕

[@leosseriesandgames02075]

When it was Gargoyles and Sidekicks Jeff was upside down

[@FostertheMeeple]

We did that on purpose to represent me as an upside down gargoyle lol

[@northabbot7116]

I love Parade, one of my top 3 card games

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s a great one!

[@philippeperrier4016]

You would probably like Talisman: Kingdom Hearts. I agree with Villainous, it is the best Disney game. I cant wait for the Star Wars version that will come out soon. I Love that they have a lot of games that have a Disney version, with 2 young kids at home that are obsess with Disney, we can play lot of them and it get them interested in the board game hobby.

[@FostertheMeeple]

This is awesome!! Glad you enjoyed. Great gateway into the hobby for sure.

[@johnroney32]

You guys gotta try Wonderland's War! The art is incredible it has really unique gameplay I think itd be 2nd on your list

[@FostertheMeeple]

We are waiting for it to arrive!

[@jenniferhebb9348]

Villainous was a.miss for.me.at.first.for the.various win condition that confused me.without.being able to understand them without watching playthroughs. I greatly enjoyed a solo variant I discovered on KZbin that helped me dive into each one. Still.find it intimidating to teach to others.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Awesome!! I love that the community is always on the hunt to adapt games for solo play!

[@wado_ichi]

Have you heard of Disney's sorcerers arena? Was thinking of picking it up

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yes!! We have a video on it!!

[@malvinafis6907]

you were agreeing so much... what a surprise :D

[@FostertheMeeple]

Right?!? We were shocked

[@jokerES2]

Hocus Pocus was a miss for me because the win has a lot of luck associated with it. You can stack the deck such that winning is pretty impossible, especially if you're trying to deduce based on questions. I much prefer the control of Hanabi for this style of game.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Makes sense! We don’t mind the luck aspect at all.

[@sroswell22]

I’d love to see what you think of sorcerers arena. I’m on the fence for buying it. Do you have a ranking of the expansions of villainous? Not sure where to start. Thanks!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We are hoping to get a copy to review of Sorcerers Arena! Our best recommendation for expansions is to pick the one that you resonate with the characters most!

[@ianlim9437]

How about Disney Sorcerer's Arena?

[@FostertheMeeple]

We hadn’t played it yet at this point!

[@BoxedMeeples]

You're so lucky to be able to get so many of these games, they're not avaliable in the UK You should give Kingdom Hearts Talisman a whirl it has some incredible minis. Have you played many of the video games ?

[@FostertheMeeple]

I have played one of the video games and didn’t really mesh with it!

[@ransombaggins9301]

As I noted before, I'm not a big disney fan anymore, but I can still have some fun with some of these. Was not aware of Parade and am really looking forward to learning more now. As for Hocus Pocus, I don't like the film and I cannot stand Midler, so that's not gonna happen. :)

[@leosseriesandgames02075]

You guys did a typo on ranking. On #6 it was Mickey and friends food right not food fight

[@FostertheMeeple]

It happens! Thanks for the heads up

[@jhkerby]

Agree on Villainous, definitely the top Disney Game we own (unless you are including all Marvel related games). I’m surprised Jeff isn’t a fan of dexterity/speed games, being a hockey player I assumed he’d be good at them. Or is it more just not being a fan of chaotic party games in general?

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s 100% just due to chaotic party games. Not my thing at all haha.

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

I’ll have to replay Sidekicks and Jungle Cruse. Sidekicks isn’t that bad. The way the game defines some things is different and that adds to the complexity. The problem was the marketing and expectation mismatch.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I’ll have to disagree there. I can’t really speak to the marketing piece but the game is definitely clunky with ruleset and mechanics and the rulebook doesn’t help. Obviously everyone’s experience is going to be different

[@ldn2bih]

Have you guys played Disney sorcerers arena board game?

[@FostertheMeeple]

We have!

[@cartermyler4180]

Marvel villainous, though worse than Disney (and prolly Star Wars) is a very great game. I mean really good. Try it again pls 😭

[@FostertheMeeple]

We will see what we can do!

[@northabbot7116]

Didn’t mention Marvel United, I think

[@FostertheMeeple]

We didn’t consider marvel or Star Wars for this list!

[@ncreson]

You had Marvel Villainous in there but not Marvel Champions? Would be interested to see where it'd rank in this group.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Honestly we didn’t even think to not add Marvel Villainous, we didn’t want to open the Marvel and Star Wars can of worms for games haha. Oversight on our part

[@tylermacfarlane7645]

Funny because I prefer the gameplay of Marvel over Disney villainous. Disney characters are better but marvel gameplay is better. One small rules thing... you can only have one global event card and one personal event card active at a time. If you ever draw events when one is already active, you just discard it because it can't be played. This rule correction might be what it takes for you to like Marvel!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Good to know!! Thanks Tyler! We are gonna give it another try

[@timelesstimesgoneby]

Disney code names Disney trivia Disney video one

[@emmalander1905]

Have you tried the new bigger and badder expansion for villainous?

[@FostertheMeeple]

We have!!! It’s very good

[@kumanight]

I've heard legends of people liking Disney as much as Jaime, but I honestly didn't believe them until now 😂. I've been to Disneyland (California) twice in my life & never as an adult. Probably spent a total of 5-6 days there. Is it fun if you don't have kids?

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha the legends are true!!! It is AMAZING without kids haha

[@JonTripp115]

interesting how there have been so many Wonderland games lately, and none of them are Disney. Have you checked out The Rocketeer yet? 2-player head-to-head card battler. I just got it recently, but haven't gotten it to the table yet...

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yea good point!! Have not checked out Rocketeer but have heard about it!

[@jodymitchell1678]

I'm having to find new people to play Disney board games with. The guys I used to play with abandoned me when Disney started pushing transgender stuff while I kept playing Disney games. Calling me names, saying I'm supporting pedos, etc. Looks like solo gaming for a while until I find a new group. There's no local game hobby stores where I live so no idea what to do now.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Honestly? You’re better off without them. Good riddance. Upward and onward. I’m confident you will find like minded people who also love games! If you aren’t in our discord. There’s lots of lovely people in there ready to welcome you with open arms.

[@logiclust]

no Star Wars games considered?

[@FostertheMeeple]

Nope! We kept it to the original Disney stuff :)

[@carlhughes669]

Sorry to be picky but , Is Marvel Villainous a Disney game or a Marvel Game?

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yea we messed that one up! But, it’s all for fun! Haha

[@shrimpgaming1749]

Marvel Villainous is much better with 3+ players. Also, in the rule book it says that if a second Event is revealed when another one is already in play, then you discard that new event (You can play with multiple events at once, but it is not very fun).

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yea we definitely messed that rule up

[@sivadcmada]
