I tried teaching Dice Thrown to my kids they have played Machi Koro, Flamecraft, King of Tokyo, and Marvel Splendor. After about ten minutes of going over the instructions their eyes were glassed over and they pretty much said they were done. I really think this game's weight is underestimated due to its themes and colorful cartoon graphics.

You can teach Dice Throne without even going over all of the rules beforehand. However, it IS important to play with the low complexity heroes, like Barbarian and Moon Elf. It's also worth playing with the cards FACE UP the first few times you play, so that you can explain how the cards work as the game goes along. I definitely agree with you that if you get into the minutia of the rules before you start playing, it's going to feel like a lot. I'd also suggest only playing in a 1v1, rather than playing a 3+ player game for someone's first time playing. I've absolutely taught Dice Throne to non-gamers this way, and had great results.

I think it's fine having 1 or 2 games, out of the 10, be a little heavier weight than entry level. I mean if you are giving a family 10 games and they are all basic/easy...they'll just get bored of them quick. Having like 5 entry level, 3 slightly heavier, but not much, and a couple that aren't difficult, but brings a little punch is just fine. Most families will want to give weightier games a try...and I'm not talking super heavy, but 2.5ish/5 type weight.

I think Carcassonne has sort of been surpassed as a gateway game and is starting to show its age. I think it is too long for what it does and it feels like it frequently outstays its welcome.

These guys don't seem to use those labels, almost at all, when describing games. I think they have decided they are not useful descriptions anymore because of the way a lot of games blend both sides. I seem to remember Scythe being used as an example. Is it an ameritrash game? Nope it's a Euro resource manager with some area control, according to some. Long story short - You might be best served by watching the Christmas top 10's. There was a thematic games list more likely to be ameritrash style, then the strategy/advanced strategy games are more likely to lean into Euro style

You will dump such a game as soon as you can) + a good simple deduction game for the moments your guest feels pretty smart such as Deception of Cryptid

Yeah, I feel like Dice Throne is a little heavier than Mike's giving it credit for. I would have put King of Tokyo in this slot.

I’m a little surprised no one said Catan. That’s one game I’ve never had to buy a copy of because everyone I’ve ever played games with has their own copy.

Catan is maybe a little more dry theme wise than something like Ticket to Ride. As great as it is it doesn't exactly scream "fun" at first glance. Even the people who hate Ticket to Ride love Ticket to Ride.

My grandson loved Dice Throne. I think it is easy enough for kids to learn. I see it as a gateway game. He never played anything like this, but he likes Yahtzee so he was excited to play it with me. Won me every damn time with Krampus. Krampus is way too powerful over Santa.

Lots of great suggestions in the video and also here in the comments! I didn’t see anyone mention Quirkle yet, so I’m throwing it out there. Basically, Scrabble with symbols instead of words. Boom… no longer dependent on language, or for people who just don’t like word games.

Trekking through History is great. I personally could replace that in a list like this with the Timeline series. I can teach it in two sentences, and it appeals at some level to almost every group I'm in (the more seasoned groups use it as a filler, the casual groups love it as a fun easy experience).
