You keep using the word ‘strategy’ and I’m not sure you understand what it means when you include more luck based games such as monopoly.......

[@1986BNick]

Actually? Monopoly is a strategy game. It may not be warfare based, but it is useful in pondering of decisions and alliances that affect stuff like the poor pawns who go into war for kings and queens or whoever is setting the stones down on the board. If your pawn? All you can really do is just play with a deck or take a chance on the dice that was tossed.

[@zunderpacis9464]

Guess what stock market investment is luck based game too

[@normalwaysplayerone2894]

@@1986BNick it's more tactical than strategic because player adgency is so low it's nearly impossible to make a long term stratergy. For example I could go into a game thinking 'my stratergy will be to buy all the railroads' and then I could never land on them, or worse land on them only once they've been purchased. The decisions you make are based almost entirely on what is best for you that turn and then you have little to no information (other than moving between 2 and 12 spaces) about what might be best next turn. This is tactical gameplay, not strategic.

[@gdrngdragon2892]

Monopoly is actually also heavily strategy based.

[@christianpla02]

In monopoly you have to learn how the get the probability on your side, its more strategic than you think.

[@Prokasu]

First of all, it seems you guys didn't do your home work so here goes: there are way better games than your very shallow list, most games in the list are here mostly because popularity not quality so here goes. Strategy: A plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim. Tactics: A plan for attaining a particular goal (think more, short term) Sequence: is a tactical game, you do with what you have you may have the most amazing strategy but if the cards don't appear for you it's for naught. Try instead: Ticket to ride Cranium has no strategy, you move with dice and if you answer right you advance. Try instead: Wits and wagers, codenames Ticket to ride: This one I have no problem with. A bit more tactical but at least you have more control of your destiny. Monopoly: almost not a game, roll and move, you have almost no control of your destiny. Popular because people don't know better. Try: any other game. But seriously, settlers of catan, Space base, century golem/spice road, power grid Settler of catan: Same as ticket to ride but way better than the others so gets a pass. Carcassonne: Good pick. I don't like it but I think it's a good game with enough strategy/Tactics to be compelling. Risk: It's strategic in the sense you can plan what you will try to achieve all right. Not a good game, specially the first version that took 6 + hours. Try instead: Memoir 44, risk legacy (good version of risk), small world Scrabble: Meh game, I can see strategy on where to place your tiles but the game is not really good. Try instead: paperback Go: Good pick Chess: Good pick Simpler but good: Onitama Try boardgamegeek.com to find way better more strategic and fulfilling games

[@rickthompson3843]

Thanks for the positive reply! Yeah this list is horrible, but making suggestions for better picks is a useful idea.

[@Toshineko]

It's WatchMojo, soooo what do you expect? Lol! Though I do agree, Chess IS a game that requires intelligence AND strategy. No luck required.

And I swear, there are videos I saw where there are lots of negative comments, despite them having a lot higher likes than dislikes, like... what? Do people have nothing better to do other than to just like videos they criticized so badly?

[@kattyrevel5910]

I was going to like your comment, as you made some very good points especially about risk and monopoly however I retain my like because you said scrabble is not a good strategic game; I wholeheartedly and entirely disagree with this have a few more games of it then edit your comment, saying nothing other than its an excellent game and I will award you a like. ☺

[@stefdeloose8854]

have you guys even played any modern strategic boardgame of the last 10 years? No way that Monopoly, scrabble or cranium are making this list there's just pure luck in these games! If you guys want to advertise games why don't you do more research and actualy bring some good ones of the last years? for example: Azul, Dragon Castle, castles of burundy,... some of my favourites but almost no luck in them and still simpler than monopoly but they offer 5 times more depth.

I can MAYBE grant Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride, but Puerto Rico should be more than 'honorable mention'; meanwhile, you can add games like Agricola, Pandemic, 7 Wonders, Castles of Burgundy, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Splendor, Ra, Navegador, Scythe, ...

But, why are the best poker players consistently the same people? It has to do with social intelligence, its a strategy of its own that is part of both monopoly and poker. Look at all the components involved, if you play by the rules it is not revolved around luck. In monopoly the strategy is in trading and buying and selling at the right time in a way that will benefit you. Just saying you can be the luckiest noob playing against the most skilled player with the worst luck and the noob will lose hands down.

[@unitymanwelp8937]

@qvistus82 the reason why Monopoly requires no skill besides making in game alliances beyond deals is because the dice completely determine where you will land which in turn determines. Sure y can increase the probability that someone will land on your properties by having more but how much properties you have is also determine d by the dice. Monopoly is a game based on risk that's what makes it fun. No one argues that slot machines require skill you play it for the rush
