The Most Beautiful Abstract Strategy Board Games Ever Made...

[@frog7741]

I've watched several of your videos now and I love the format and the humor you put in to it!! Super entertaining reviews and I'm really looking forward to try all the new games that I might not have found otherwise!

[@vidotter]

You are also hilarious - so fun! Thanks so much 🙋‍♀️ from Texas USA

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! :)

I liked the "grow on you" joke with leafy accessory.

[@carlwong8587]

Also I noted that you have done reviews/play throughs for two of the ones you mentioned (Azul and Photosynthesis). You should put a link to those at the bottom so viewers can see you thoughts on these games in action!

[@carlwong8587]

Another great review. Thanks Danny!

[@kimoro9643]

wow fun list, great choices and beautifully shot! some I was thinking of that you didn’t mention: Marrakech Fire Tower Hive Fae Nunami :)

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

What are some other really beautiful board games that you like playing. I would love to hear about them. Write them in the comments below! :)

[@spinz2008]

Your list is excellent. Smallworld, Alhambra, Five Tribes, 7 Wonders - may not fit into the Abstract Strategy genre, but are e beautiful looking games :)

Glad to see your new video.

Thank you!

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

Thank You!

[@blackboardgaming5348]

Great list! I'm surprised you didn't put Sagrada on the list.

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

I kind of put sagrada in the dice game cateogry.. but I did overlook that one! :)

[@spinz2008]

Great list. Really enjoy your videos. Can you do a "Best Games for 6 Players" list also? Or can you suggest some good games for 6 players (Medium weight games that can be played within 45 mins). We play games like 7 Wonders, Alhambra, Sagrada, Between 2 Cities and Smallworld. Any suggestions for similar level games for 5/6 players will be very helpful. Thanks in advance

harmonies would be on this list now

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

100%

[@martinwood744]

Paradice (Art version), Ramses, Hunde und Schakale, Siam, Eye, Ido, Icosagame, Doquin, Cathedral, Corintho Axiom and Endpoint, look quite nice, and are good games.

If "Gods love Dinosaurs" is an abstract game, then I want to know which games aren't.

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

Mice & Mystics, Gloomhaven. Games where the narrative might be the driving force and the mechanisms are more secondary. Sleeping Gods and Lands of Glazyr! :)

[@knehren]

@@BoardGameSanctuary so, it's either an American style game or an abstract game? Every eurostyle game would then be abstract. In which case, your list should include Castles of Burgundy or Puerto Rico, Caylus or Ticket to Ride or even Carcassonne. I mean, those games are worth so much more than "God's love Dino's", and according to your definition they are abstract games.

Do you know Motif Board Game?

[@vidotter]

Awesome games!! My boy is going to love dinosaurs!! You know religious finatics don’t believe in dinosaurs 🤭🤭 creationists some call themselves 😂😵‍💫🤭 - and my girl is going to love photosynthesis - but I think we’ll put them all on our Xmas wish lists!! You should have affiliate links 🥹👏👏

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

Yes I love Gods Love Dinosaurs as interesting as that title sounds! Photosynthesis is cool and abstract. I think your xmas this year is going to be a fun one from the sounds of it! I have been meaning to put affiliate links thanks for that extra bit of encouragement :)
