The Quad Ep. 5 - Best Games for 5 Players

[@jacobstein5678]

Corey was a great guest! This is my favorite episode yet for all the banter! The banter is what I am here for. I think you all are finding your pace and the show is really getting a flavor. Can't comment without also saying Ethnos is my favorite 5 player game.

[@stevebratina8249]

El Grande - hands downs the best game for 5 players.

[@mattschwenk7000]

My 5P picks: Smartphone Inc, Earth, Royals

[@RaduGaston1]

Agricola, Concordia, A Study In Emerald (1st Edition), Dominant Species and El Grande are my favorite games to play with 5.

[@Salixalba1000]

Really like this show. If I may add a couple games to the 5 player list. Euro game Smart Phone inc. Hybrid game Scythe.

[@user-jn3di8qp3c]

Also, Cthulhu Wars is the best five-player game, though you need an expansion faction to accomplish it.

[@KabukiKid]

I'm with Matthew... BSG! I'll happily play El Grande too, though. :-)

[@matthewmelissamakak2615]

Yessss!! Finally, someone who understands 😂

[@user-jn3di8qp3c]

Since I owned, but got rid of both Battlestar Galactica and El Grande, I have to go with one of the other two. It seems like Gloria Mundi would be easier to get to the table for me.

[@KabukiKid]

I could swear that Stephen once said that Amun Re was his favorite FOUR player game. Am I wrong and was it five, or maybe does it fit into both categories for him? heh ;-)

[@matthewmelissamakak2615]

Lovvveee Corey!! He's so awesome!!

[@DrBrooksNY]

I play 5 all the time. (In no particular order) Scythe Foundations of Rome Castle of Mad King Ludwig Isle of Cats Architects of the West Kingdom Bunny Kingdom Viticulture Century: Spice Road/Golem Edition Space Base Quacks Ticket to Ride King of Tokyo

Awesome video and discussion! My 5p games are often one of these: Amun Re El Grande Hansa Teutonica Princes of Florence

[@stevebratina8249]

Oh, yeah that's right! Hansa is great at 5! I also really like the tension of 5P Through the Desert.

[@scottf2558]

Franchise, Tribune & Traume Fabrik (aka Golden Age of Hollywood) and K2 are awesome and play their best at 5 players. I'm one of the 14 players that played Gloria Mundi it was not good vowed never again! It's so well loved you can find a sealed copy for $12

[@egoDEATH33]

With an expansion you can play Cthulhu Wars at 5 players, such a lot of fun! "Monsters on the map!" like no other :) Lots of interesting asymetrical play, with some good mechanisms and strategic play.

[@johncollins8511]

Betrayal at the House on the Hill second edition is the best game with 5 players. While not all haunt scenarios are created equal, I feel the majority of them are at their best with 5 people. I base this off of countless playthroughs with 5 players.

[@msmilder25]

It's A Wonderful World is my favorite game at 5 players, short list of other faves: Carcassonne & Charterstone (both I prefer at 6), Lords of Waterdeep, Wingspan I love at all player counts, Istanbul (very competitive at 5), Small World, Ticket to Ride, Tokaido, Space Base...and if those games aren't new enough for you, what about Flamecraft?

[@davidthompson7233]

Yes, yes, yes, Candice! My favorite game! Woot!

[@cashliam]

Hansa Teutonica

[@jamesjewell9723]

What about Terraforming Mars?

[@mitchhorton9178]

Prefer RA to Amun Re from the Dr. It is great game for 5 (and 3 & 4)
