It’s hard to pick a favorite light-weight game! First one that comes to mind is Century: Golem Edition. I never get tired of it! 💎

Golem edition is far superior to the spice edition!
@BoardGameDave2 жыл бұрын
That is such a great, pretty game! ☺ I was tempted to buy one of the sequels yesterday at the board game store! (Oh, and I didn't tell you this, but they also took this beautiful game called Equinox and gave it a golem re-theming, too! I'll have to show you some pictures; I'll bet you'd love the art for the original Equinox, too! Very lovely!)

@@dadsanddice We were just talking about this, weren't we? You can't even compare the two editions! The original theme could not have been more boring! Convert turmeric into saffron, cardamom into cinnamon... 🥱 Amazing gameplay, though! Have you tried either of the sequels? (Eastern Mountains or Endless World?)

Man this is a great video! I can't get enough of Can't Stop, extremely frustrating at times though. I haven't tried take 5 yet, I may do that on my lunch break next week.
@BoardGameDave2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! Can't Stop is hilariously frustrating for sure! 🤣 It's amazing how wildly lucky and unlucky you can get in that game! And definitely give Take 5 (it's called 6 Nimmt on there) a try... although I'll warn you that it's addicting! And probably even more frustrating than Can't Stop!

Great list of games! Some quick games you didnt mention that we like playing on BGA: Coloretto, LLAMA, Oriflamme, Incan Gold, Draftosaurus. There are so many good light ones in BGA that even a top 20 list could be made. PS. I would like to have a sped up version of 6 nimmt! on BGA :D We have played it plenty of times IRL and the BGA version feels so slow in comparison..

Hey there, Mark! Thank you for the great recommendations! I haven't played Coloretto, LLAMA, Oriflamme, or Draftosaurus so I've got to check those out! I actually made another video covering 15 other games on BGA on my channel and one of them was Incan Gold! That is such a great game and it's a blast to play in real life with friends! p.s. Does it really? I've only played on BGA and I just bought a physical copy... I wasn't sure if resolving each row would maybe take longer in person! I can't wait to get it to the table! It's such a fun but frustrating game! 🐮

Happy City is another quick, light game I just discovered recently. Also would Kingdomino count?
@BoardGameDave2 жыл бұрын
I've never heard of Happy City; I'll have to check that out! Maybe you could teach me sometime! And yes, Kingdomino is a great lightweight game! (I talked about that one in my "most-played games on BGA" video!) 🏰

For sure! It's so much easier and quicker to use than TTS or Tabletopia, although obviously they don't offer nearly as many games! (They're adding a lot more lately, though! And a lot of medium/heavy games that we like!)
