Thank you for highlighting both Vast and Mansions of Madness here. I love both games for different reasons, but neither one gets much attention on other channels. Vast is one of the most difficult teaches I have experienced as a game teacher which makes it tough for people who haven't played it to get on board. Mansions is just a great co-op with so much story and as a dungeon crawl it really hits as a timed mystery to be solved.

Root is also my favorite game. The biggest hurdle for me is finding people who are willing to commit to a game that they realize they need to play regularly to learn the rules and strengths and weaknesses of the factions. Fortunately, the basic rules are simple and thanks to the faction game boards, players are well guided through their turns. There are far more complex games out there, but it's not a family-friendly, easy game like Settlers of Catan, even if it looks like one. But if you have a group with whom you play regularly and you like asymmetrical area control games, it's a clear recommendation!

Off the top of my head, these are my top ten: 10. The Downfall of Pompei. This is such a fun game that I often don't care if I win. I bought little meeples to use instead of the cubes and it makes a difference, as you toss them into the volcano! 9. Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game. The newest game on my list, it has quickly become one of my favorite games. 8. Forest Shuffle. Another new game. My group can't seem to get enough of it. (Note: 8 and 9 could easily be swapped) 7. Star Wars: Outer Rim. Another great game, it is a simpler Xia. 6. Splendor/Century: Spice Road. Almost impossible to tell apart - both are great. 5. Ticket to Ride. A great game for almost any group. 4. Wizards of the Grimoire. I love this game. 3. King of Tokyo. One of the best, simple games ever made, anyone can play this. 2. Res Arcana. This one gets played at least twice a month. 1. Jump Drive. This one gets played at least four times a month. I have worn out two copies of this game and am on my third. Special. Dungeons and Dragons. If this was a boardgame, it would blow all the others away. I have been playing this for almost 50 years and I love it, both as a player and a game master. Nothing else comes close.

One of us. One of us. One of us. The epic rise of bones. Dune and arnak forever entwined. They should just make a melded game of like lost ruins of arakis. Mansions is kind of replaced for me by Arkham horror and death may die but such a good game

Since I am late to the party I think I can comment on the Games now and not spoil anybody. I am also an Arnak for Life Girl, Like Jamie. It is even in my top3 at this Point. So, so good. I enjoy the campaign too. Dune Imperium has fallen flat for me. I think I should play it again with a proper explanation and understanding of the game. Castles of Burgundy is great, too. TMB is one I would love to try one day.

I'm a fan of Uwe as well. I haven't played Agricola, FFO, and some of his older games. Ive played his lighter games like New York Zoo and Patchwork. Of his games siimilar to Agricola, I played LeHavre, Caverna, and Fields of Arle in that specific order. I enjoy Caverna more than LeHavre but Fields of Arle is by far my favorite Uwe "heavy" game. If you get a chance to play it, try it out. It's 2 player or can be played solo. Jamie will probably have reservations vecause, as in typical Uwe fashion, there's feeding involved 😂.

Thanks for this year's list, guys. I guess we'll stay tuned for when you'll have more on Paetron (or Discord?). Are you thinking 51 through 100? I'll be curious to see where some of the games that fell off your 50s (Fuji Flush, SCOUT, Dwellings of Eldervale, Shores of Tripoli, Fantasy Realms, Godfather, Camel Up, etc.) wound up.

It’ll likely be 51-100!!

This is an interesting list. Unfortunately the game all have long play times, high complexity, or both, which makes this a list of games I find extremely difficult to table.

I made mine after watching this, but you have to know, before judging me that I hate euros in general with a few exceptions.Also I haven't played a lot of games that I own and I think would be in that list like Inis, (i need to play more Cyclades also), Everdell, Marvel Champions, Star Wars Imperial Assault. 01 - Kemet 02 - Dice Throne 03 - Legendary Marvel 04 - Century Spice Road 05 - Abyss 06 - Azul 07 - Fury of Dracula 08 - 7 Wonders 09 - Twilight Imperium 4th ed. 10 - Pandemic Legacy: Season 1

It worries me when i hear that feeling stupid in a game triggers you. As I'm a kind and caring person, i will help you through those moments. When it happens, i need you to repeat the following mantra until you are feeling better. Repeat after me: At least I'm not Max, At least I'm not Max, At least I'm not Max,

I was admittedly fully aware that Jamie put Villainous all the way down to number 16 on the last list, but still, my brain kept telling me I probably imagined that and she must be about to say it on here in the top 5. Reality is basically broken.
