Top 10 Board Games I've Been Enjoying Recently! | October - December 2024 Wrap Up

[@DiceJesters]

Civolution looks like such an interesting game and absolutely love the artwork of Wondrous Creatures. Hoping to try those both soon! ☺️

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Civolution is great! I've been wanting to play it again ever since that first play! :) I hope you have the chance to try both soon!

Great video! I could watch you present board game lists all day.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

AWH! I really appreciate that! Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed. :)

[@One_Stale_Donut]

Nice list, I love the diversity of choices!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Thank you so much! :)

First time going to Level Up this year! Luckily it's only a 30 minute drive 🤩

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

AHH YAY! So happy to hear you are joining this year! :) I hope you have the best time and I'll see you there! Feel free to say hello and maybe we can play some games.

I could be wrong, but I thought in Mosaic, everyone pays the same amount for their 1st Wonder and the increase is only if you personally build a second wonder, then an increase if you build a third etc. The increase is based on how many you personally have.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

OHH REALLY?! That would have made it a bit easier for sure! I just played the way I was taught so that is good to know when I get the chance to play again! Thanks! :)

[@ddcraven535]

Gotta try Civolution soon! I have heard it is a bit Tapestry like and that is my favorite SM game.

[@GameMarketWest]

This list is great! I also really enjoyed the Herb Garden section of card games and trick-takers.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

So glad you enjoyed it!! 😊

Happy 2025! Off topic, but where did you get your sweater? I love it!

I got Wondrous Creatures for Christmas and I’m excited to get it to the table. Your excitement for it has really ramped up my excitement as well. I see two expansions available, Gargantuan Beasts and Crew Set, and I’m wondering if you are playing with those as well or with just the base game. And of course if you are they worth looking for and getting? Necessary? Unnecessary? Thanks.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

YAY! So happy to hear that! We just played the base game and it was so good! I have been wanting to get the expansions and deluxe components but it's hard to find them for sale here in Canada. I hope you enjoy the game! :)

[@EirikrThorvaldsson]

@ I dot a chance to play a 4 player game and we all really liked it! I’m in Canada as well. The only place that I’ve found that will ship to me is the publisher and that will cost me over $90 USD with shipping for the upgraded components and the 2 small expansions and that just seems too much. Luckily the retail components are really nice and include the painted crew and leader meeples. I wish I had the wooden eggs but the rest I can do without. Looks like I’ll have to wait and hope for the expansions to get reprinted and make it to retail. In any case it’s a really great game out of the box.

[@justynag.3950]

greetings from Poland :)

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Hey! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Artistree6958]

I so agree about medium weight game… that is me too!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Yes!! 👏🏻 they really are the best of both worlds!

[@jalalfiguigui7936]

Nice video. Are you playing any war board game? If yes, do you have any top 3 war board games that you enjoy as 2 players? Thank you 😊

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I don’t play any war games. Sorry! I would definitely check out Foster The Meeple as they are more into war games than I am and they have great 2 player game recommendations! 😊👍🏻

[@jalalfiguigui7936]

@@TheBoardGameGarden thank you for your answer 🙂

[@ianw0ng]

i feel like wonderous creatures look better on the box than on the inside, art wise.

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I absolutely LOVE the box cover! I do agree somewhat. The art on the cards is gorgeous but yeah it would have been even better if it matched the "softer" art like the box cover.

[@CardboardEast]

Uh oh... did you say Khora?? I have that game too! (It's the reimplementation of a Japanese game) Looks like we have our next game meet up game list lined up! Let me know when you're going to a NA con & we'll meet up!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

YESSS! I've played it once and I've wanted it ever since. It was wonderful. :) Woohoo!
