Top 10 Board Games of All Time

[@Reikyt]

I think we can all agree the real no. 1 is Jeff’s hat

[@FostertheMeeple]

I can agree with this!!

Cool list. Like your Top 10. My Top 10: 1 Nemesis 2 Clans of Caledonia 3 Ark Nova 4 The Witcher: Old World 5 Rurik: Dawn of Kiev 6 Champions of Midgard 7 Anachrony 8 War of the Ring: Second Edition 9 Star Wars: Rebellion 10 Spirit Island

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gracischomaker2706]

I just recently got into board gaming because of your channel! Jamie's Final Girl ranking video introduced me to Final Girl, and it's easily my favorite board game now. I've been meaning to try out Obsession too; based on your recommendation, I think I have to!

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s a good one!!!

[@phillipheaton9832]

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.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I was going to say Jamie’s list was best when I saw she had Mansions of Madness, but then Jeff had Cuba Libre, so I guess BOTH lists are valid :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

But mine (Jeff) is MORE valid. Thank you for confirming.

[@ThePebblor]

Thanks for the video, and great list! I see a lot of super crunchy games in there, which for us are out of reach, so im glad to see mansions of madness and Wonderland's war in the mix woopwoop! It made me want to try final girl, even though i never play solo games (i always think "if im setting up a table to game, i'd rather have other people around the table" however of course that never happens as often as i like so, maybe there is a place for one solo game in my life 😁) Cheers guys!

[@jamesmorgan1967]

Wonderland's War and Final Girl, yes please! And someday I aspire to learn Cuba Libre. Fun lists, thanks for sharing!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for watching!

[@Maraffler]

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!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Very fair! There is a great app to be able to play it more!

[@Maraffler]

@@FostertheMeeple Did I understand correctly that the app allows you to pause the game without having to play it in one go? I have the game on the Nintendo Switch but I'm not aware of this function. The app is great for playing against experienced players, but I prefer to play with friends at the table :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

@@Maraffler you can play asynchronously!

[@danielyeatts491]

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.

[@johannesstal270]

I would say that having to feed your family is what Agricola is all about, It’s not dumb when the theme is the hardships of farming in the 17th century. It’s about slowly expanding your home and family. You have to feel good about the small improvements in this game. Like : yay! I grew a carrot! Agricola aka Misery farm is truly great game.

[@kenbagwell8551]

Misery farm lololololol. My favorite game. There are actually many ways to feed, you just have to know/find them, and that presents a multiple-game learning curve. Not for everyone, but it hit all my buttons.

[@ButterSpider3]

Loved the list! Like Jamie, I am in awe of Final Girl. This game is so fun!!! And, I am glad to hear you talk about Root. I have seen this game around alot. But never played. I am quite curious about it and your description intrigues me even more. I think I will have to try to play this sometime soon.

[@FostertheMeeple]

There’s a good app for it! With some tutorials

[@emilykosterman1240]

Well, an app might have helped 😂 my friend and I spent 3 hours to find tutorials and battle our way through a first play. The ick was strong with this one. 😅 Need an experienced player and more than 2 to probably get a good play.

[@BenetTribble]

Agricola is one of my favorite games. Choosing your cards is one of the best experiences in board gaming, especially for those who have enjoyed CCGs and enjoy deck construction.

[@jkledis]

So Jo and I played Agricula at a Board game cafe - they taught us the game very quickly - we were having a great time and we felt like we were winning - when we suddenly remembered we had not been feeding the family - ever!! Needless to say I couldn't talk Jo into ever playing again. I wanted to learn the game. Ah - life! Thanks for sharing your lists!

[@Raphaelus13]

Agricola and "quick teach" doesn't sound compatible to me. 😅 Still a classic that I need to go back to.

[@nataliejohn4243]

So happy to see Obsession so high, Jamie! LOVE Obsession. I’m really bad at picking favorites, but whenever I’ve ranked, this ends up number 1. Just love it!

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s a great one!! So much variety each play

[@BobbiLaMont]

Me too. Obsession consistently continues to be my most played and favorite game. So good.

[@rmclean101]

You are my favorite people I've never met! Great list, thank you! I have to admit, I have Cuba Libre and still haven't tried it. It looks like a daunting game to learn. I just need to be better...be brave.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha it’s for sure not an easy one, I get it. We luckily had an awesome teacher

[@LiLAlbiHD]

Cool vibes on this channel! Glad I found yall

[@ImaginEric]

Great lists! Some absolute fire 🔥 games here. Shout out to The Castles of Burgundy, Star Wars Rebellion, Wonderlands War, and Obsession as some of my favorites as well.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank YOU!

[@luisamez8057]

Thank you very much for this series, I have discovered some new games that I would like to try. Reggie already said it but, for what is worth, Iron Man is not the friendliest character in Marvel Champions and it could feel quite frustrating. Have a nice one!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Appreciate the insight!!

[@viperfrag]

Hey gang! Awesome list of games, especially Kansan EV and Star Wars Rebellion. Just to mention, if you haven't played Star Wars Rebellion with the expansion, I highly recommend it. It changes the way that combat occurs and make it less "lucky". You still need to roll the dice but you get to choose from a set of advanced tactic cards... really improves the combat.

[@FostertheMeeple]

We hope to play with the expansion soon!

[@marksnook685]

Thanks for taking the time to put together your lists, I really enjoyed watching the videos and based on your recommendations have bought a few new games...lol...now I just need people to play with as the boys I play hockey with are more in to cards! Anyway..thanks again....oh...and is there a list available compiling each of your top 50 picks?

[@FostertheMeeple]

We’ve released videos for our entire top 50!!

[@marksnook685]

@@FostertheMeeple thanks for the quick response....I did indeed watch all 5 videos and enjoyed them...I just meant did you have a list that was sent out that we could review...but I would guess that detracts from watching the videos again so no worries..I am happy to review the videos again. Have a fantastic evening.

[@steveschloegel5454]

Glad you both have found enjoyment in TMB one of my favorite games. Take a look at Cloudspire by CTG if you haven’t already done so. It too is right next to TMB as one of my favorites for different reasons though.

[@FostertheMeeple]

We very much want to try that one out!

[@mitchellthies486]

Great list! I have been struggling to find a copy of Wonderlands War that's not $250 on Ebay. I also love Final Girl, but I wanted to add that the production value and intricacy are extremely impressive. I can't wait for the 3rd box set to come out this year.

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s a pricey one for sure! Especially the deluxe copy

[@CaptainOhio-kr1xd]

Little late to the party here, but great vid to cap off the top 50 guys! Mansions of Madness was my second game to buy when getting into the hobby bc it was on sale for $30... my first was villainous, so it was great to see both of those on the top 50!

[@boardtoplay]

Excellent end to the list! Some fantastic games on there and some I definitely need to try one day.🎉❤

[@ahemi0520]

TMB has been my #1 game for like 5+ years now. I see very few content creators rave about this one. So happy to see it on here!

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s only going to increase on the list I think!!

[@collinsj1987]

TMB is the game that took this hobby over the edge for me. I love this game to my core.

[@timborocksloud]

I really enjoyed my play of wonderland's war, but man...that set up and tear down time...woof...beautiful game though. Oathsworn is my No. 1 of all time, Dune Imperium is my number 2.

[@FostertheMeeple]

It is a slog for sure on that front. No denying it haha

[@coyotemoon722]

Agricola and Kanban are in my Top 10. The feeding your family thing turned me off my first play of it, but it's such a critical element of the theme and experience. Love me some Uwe! Also, i had no idea you could win Arnak without going up that track, which made me hate that game. Maybe I'll give it another shot on BGA sometime.

[@bryanep]

Its wild to see how much your gaming tastes have evolved over time. Also the average game complexity of games you enjoy has really gone up. Great lists.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Totally agreed! But I think that’s somewhat normal of the hobby

[@garoum9626]

I really hope we see the last factions of roots in the digital game soon! also it was great to watch all of your top 50 both of you!

Hi!! Thank you for putting this list together. You mentioned before that you are mostly a 2 player household. So are we. What do you think about Kanban for 2 players? I see mixed reviews on that online. Thanks!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We very much enjoy it at 2!! I think it’s better at higher but enjoyable at 2. That being said what works for us might not work for you, so keep that in mind!

[@TheRealSdog]

Awesome video. Jeff, Noticed that you have baseball highlights 2045 as your #50. Have you tried Football highlights 2052? Another one I'd be curious on your opinion is Mindbug which surprisingly gives me similar vibes to bh2045

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haven’t tried FH 2052 or Mind Bug! Have heard good things about mind bug though

Root is also my #1, I’ll have to check out a couple Jeff mentioned. Have you played Hegemony? I think you’d love it. Also with the dozen of top 100 lists I’ve seen maybe I missed it but did you guys have Ark Nova on your list?

[@FostertheMeeple]

I have heard great things about Hegemony! No ark nova, I enjoy the game but it’s not a love

[@snowchamp]

Nice top 10 lists! Expected most of them but always nice to see love for less spoken games, like Cuba Libre, Dominant Species, Vast, Stardew Valley. My personal top 10 goes 10. Twilight Imperium 4th ed 9. Grand Austria Hotel 8. Concordia 7. Terraforming Mars 6. Paladins of the West Kingdom 5. Teotihuacan 4. A Feast for Odin 3. Marco Polo II 2. Path of Light and Shadow 1. Dune Imperium (Uprising) Probably only no. 2 is rare. DI using Uprising with the spies and then the improved Green spaces, reduced power of Heighliner, the Conflict victory symbols are all better, and works so well with Rise of Ix expansion. I daresay it made my fav game better!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

[@kieranberry]

I see a lot of crossovers! Great video as usual guys. If you had asked me the last 5 years what my top game of all time was, it would have remained the same; But now it's finally been dethroned and bumped to 2. I am just in love with Too Many Bones. It scratches all the right itches and ticks all yhe boxes that make a great game for me. I just wish some of the Tyrant battles were better. Anywho, here's my top 10! 1. Too Many Bones 2. Spirit Island 3. Nemesis 4. Marvel Champions 5. Cthulhu:Death May Die 6.The Crew: Mission Deep Sea 7.Dune Imperium 8. Root 9. Lost Ruins of Arnak 10. Gloomhaven

[@Maraffler]

Question: I love Root and that's why Wonderland War caught my eye in your top 10 list. How do the two games compare? Does Wonderland feel different enough to think about buying it or are they quite similar? How do you see the level of complexity compared to Root? Is Wonderland more beginner-friendly? Would appreciate your opinion - thx :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

To be honest those games really aren’t comparable. They’re vastly different games. I’d say WW is much more accessible than root is to new players but I’d say it’s not a light game by any means.

[@Yarmyarmy]

Lost ruins of arnak - the missing expedition is so good and I think will bring LROA up your rankings next year.

[@gurnblanston2848]

Final Girl was easily my most played game last year, and with Series 3 coming out later this year, it probably will be again. Anyone familiar with you guys and your channel knows no caveat is needed with Jamie putting it at #1; she was the game's biggest cheerleader long before she worked for VRG. Talk about landing your dream job! Great lists.

Do you guys know if there’s a major difference between the old and new edition of dominant species? I’m not finding it online and the difference in price is 50$

[@FostertheMeeple]

I wouldn’t say major difference, but the action selection system is different for sure.

[@jessismith]

Final Girl for the win. I think it’s fair to say that you drew the attention of VRG because of your passion for FG. You were promoting it so hard, they may as well have seen you as an employee ❤ It’s like when someone asks you to be their child’s godparent, you are FG’s Godmother 😅

[@FostertheMeeple]

Lol!! So true. Thanks for understanding that!

[@billable1861]

I’ve heard good things about dominant species for a looong time. When I first got into looking at heavier games it was right when marine came out. Supposedly it was going to be a quicker game but I’ve heard so many people say they prefer the original. I’m really curious to know what the key differences are other than the obvious marine part!

[@FostertheMeeple]

I think the biggest thing is that the OG game is a bit more procedural in nature with how the action selections work. It’s hard to explain without playing it.

[@mitchellthies486]

I also wanted to add that I was really excited to play Root, but the setup instructions and gameplay rules felt convoluted and chaotic. I don't usually feel overwhelmed by large games, maybe I should give it some additional time at the table?

[@daniellebackus819]

I also really love Dune Imperium and did not own it. So I purchased Dune Imperium Uprising. That definitely makes sense to do! The only downside is I usually only buy games that play very well at 2, and since it needs an automa, it’s not my fave for that. Brian Boru, Scout, and that game are kinda the only exceptions to that rule that I have kept.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Fair enough!! Good to know, thanks!

[@jstonerganjasaurus4238]

Love final girl and it is by far my fav game aswell. It just plays so well and comes with high difficulty due to the randomness of roll dice and outcomes of the horror deck which gives it a very thematic feel to the horror tropes. I like to add that the different videotapes comes with different killers and all play different but plays like the inspiration to the horror films. To me this game is like the dark souls of board games and excited to try out the new season of killers

Great to see Final Girl get the love it deserves.

All your games are great I have most of them but regarding the root, I could not get into it, it is way too asymmetric for me and I found it hard to remember all the faction's rules and how to play them and that ruined my experience, I felt like I had to learn a new game with each faction and, on the other hand, if I don't understand my opponent's faction I have no clue if he is cheating or even what he is doing and due to that I discovered I don't enjoy the game! I had the same thing with Mageknight every time we wanted to play it I had to learn it all over again ... those 2 games are the only 2 games in my library of games I find hard to remember rules and get back into it after not playing them for a while ...

That’s fair! Not every game is gonna work for everyone

Anybody looking at Dominant Species should give Cones of Dunshire a look.

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 😂.

What a solid pair of Top Tens. Jamie, I love Obsession solo, but haven't played it in a while because I've been playing too much Final Girl! I knew the VRG Disclaimer was coming, but we all know that you joined VRG _because_ you love Final Girl, and not the other way around.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Truth!

Cole Wehrle said he was inspired by COIN in designing Root, but there's basically nothing of what defines a COIN game which is in Root. I love GMT, but I actually prefer Root over COIN.
