Top 10 Games Made From Wood

[@boardgamebuddy9554]

It’s not all made of wood but I love how the “good” pieces in Spirit Island are made of wood whilst then”bad” pieces are made out of plastic! 😀

The game you call Bonk is very similar to a game called Birkball that I first played 20-25 years ago. The Birkball website now shows tables for 4 players; the goal and goalie are on one corner and the wingman is on the other corner. The table we used at work during lunch breaks was for 6 players; the goal and goalie were in the middle, with a wingman on either corner.

Thank you - wife is currently purchasing Shuffle Puck. Please, consider adding these to your list: 1. Raft and Scupper. A wonderful delight, and a real brain burner. Ethically made. 2. Mijnlieff (original, not the horrible Bagstract version). Played with muliltiple copies. Easy, deep, portable, terrific. 3. Tak. We had a custom set made, as we were blown away by this one. One of the best games ever made. 4. Quarto and/or Quixo. Super easy games and surprisingly deep. Quarto comes as a travel version, too.

I would LOVE to get either Crokinole or Carrooka or Carrom but don't have the budget for all three (or the space). If you could only choose one...which would it be??

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Carrooka for sure

[@lilytheghost7608]

Thank you for your videos ❤. My wife and I are getting into board gaming and I love to watch you and other KZbinrs to learn more about this exciting hobby. Sorry people are mean to you about your voice your perfectly understandable to me keep up the great content.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I couldn’t give a monkeys what they think. Thanks for the kind words 👍🏻

[@timjones990]

Some nice looking games ive not heard of on that list, cheers. i think the only wooden games we have that we enjoy are Pocket as you've shown, Jenga and Cathedral ( i have a nice wooden one), another great vid.

[@glideslope44]

What game had the tiny tower with the tiny axe? I watched this video to find out more about that game.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Click clack lumberjack

[@DIYMinded]

Great video! I've been passing time in lockdown by making a game a day and posting a quick DIY video. Thanks for the inspiration. Subscribed.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Just looked at your videos...amazing wood working skills mate 👏🏻

[@AndreSamosir]

I would add Tokyo Highway! One of the few games I have I will keep forever. Also, I'm sure I've scrolled through all your videos, but I still can't understand why I don't remember having seen this particular video. I like tactile components and love dexterity games!

[@independentfool]

Your top 3 games: Crokinole, Pitchcar, and Klask are on my short list of games to get. Ill need to look into a couple more of these. Nice vid!

[@BoardGameBollocks]

All fantastic options. Jump in...

[@Orochi_001]

I own the top 3, but have only gotten Klask to the table. It’s amazing. Have you tried Flick ‘Em Up?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Yes. We have all of it including the Dead of Winter spin off.

[@SiliconSicilian]

Can't really argue against any of your choices. Being Canadian, I have always had a bias for Crokinole... and now another that didn't make your list but did make your shelf... Catacombs. I'm guessing that the reason it didn't make the list is due to the neoprene mats?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Fiddly setup and trying to hold rules in your head. Good game though.

[@SiliconSicilian]

@@BoardGameBollocks Excellent points.

[@TheDrut666]

I’ve got to make a few of these games, thanks for the video mate

[@BoardGameBollocks]

👍🏻

[@GrandpasWorkbench]

I have made two pucket games for our kids and they love it. I'm going to have to make one of the Dutch shuffleboards too

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Make a video of the shuffleboard...would be interested to see how it’s made

[@GrandpasWorkbench]

@@BoardGameBollocks I do have to make another Pucket game, was thinking about making a video for that. Maybe I'll make one for the Dutch shuffleboard too.. I have yet to put a video on KZbin maybe it's high time I did

[@origenward3845]

This feels like the most whispery video you've made.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Does your to have a volume control? Mine does.

[@danielpreilly77]

Terrific list and great brief descriptions

[@BoardGameBollocks]

What’s your favourite wooden game? Have I missed any that you know of?

[@danielpreilly77]

BoardGames4K yah it’s a cool list, I have a few of those. Hmm, some I didn’t see I like on our house in no particular order: Animal upon Animal from Haba, Flick em Up, Junk Art, Quirkle, Bausac are a few more I can think of

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Did you play Junk art? Like Bausack but with specific tasks almost mini games. If you like Bausack you’ll love it.

[@Books.N.Roses26]

Can you list the games I missed a few of the names

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I would do but then no one would watch the video 😉

[@brianstarnes2718]

@@BoardGameBollocks I don't think you know your fan base. We would watch you discuss the games regardless of a list or not. ;) However, a list would be nice.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Cheers mate. I’ll start adding lists to the descriptions when I do the top 100 in December. Trawling through and editing old vids is time consuming and, well, kind of boring too.

[@AndreSamosir]

@@brianstarnes2718 right? I already knew some of the games whenever the title was mentioned the first time but I did NOT fast forward. I still wanted to listen to how they were reviewed/commented no matter how briefly.

[@martybartfast1]

Very interesting choices. I like the range historically and technically. Also what an awesome dad you are to introduce your youngun's to this and not just letting them run rampant on the tablet or consol. Your 'Style' is sorted. Respect Sir!

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Cheers mate 👍🏻

[@robs5688]

A pedant might ask whether pretty much all games aren't made of wood, since they pretty much all contain paper of some sort, if only for the rule book or the box. Anyway, next topic: Top 10 Games That Gave Me Wood. (But please no playthroughs.)

[@vibrationNC]

WHY ARE YOU Whispering??

[@kenthomson9562]

“We’ve got a really good board. It’s in the garage”! I know what quality of games end up in MY garage.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Unfortunately my wife won’t let me store the larger wooden games anywhere else and I don’t blame her - theyd end up taking over. There’s no room left in the games room so it’s stored there. Crap games end up at the charity shop.

[@kenthomson9562]

BoardGames4K True. I also have stuff hidden away that I’d like to see more often.

[@iansmith9762]

This is a good list

[@appenginenode]

This is so coincidental. I like wooden stuff, so card boxes, boxes in general, anything really. And I googled wood games about a week ago. Maybe like connect 4 or draughts, and other 'traditional' games. Will be interesting to see this list :)

[@BoardGameBollocks]

You won’t find connect 4 or draughts on the list...I do have them though 🙃

[@Video_Fiend]

good video and great games but not enough clarity

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Can you clarify your criticism?

[@Thegreenscreenfeatureisdumb]

I loved the video just had a hard time understanding some parts of the video I was not trying to be critical please do not think that I was trying to criticize your channel I found the video very helpful.

[@Thegreenscreenfeatureisdumb]

Please when people suggest things or say things do not be so hard on them they are truly trying to help and if they do say negative things it is best you do not respond. please do not take this message as a threat it is just a suggestion.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

What was hard to understand? I’m having a hard time trying to understand what your criticisms are mate.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

You haven’t suggested anything though or even told me what I’m doing wrong. Might help if you did 🤷

[@Mygames627]

I make 200 wooden games and donate them to children with terminal cancer. I've been doing this now for 13 years. Anyway I'm looking for wood games that are single player, ages 5 to adult and will fit on a hospital table. So please if you have any ideas I would surely appreciate it.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I’m not sure about single player. Maybe put a post up in the Board Game Geek forums. I’m sure someone there would be able to assist.

[@richj1134]

3x3 makes a beautiful marble solitaire board. It would fit on a hospital table or even a lap.

[@davidlaraia2924]

I have never heard of any of these games

[@BoardGameBollocks]

You have now 😉

[@Tverga60]

How about providing a list, or a link, it was very difficult to understand what you were saying due to your whispering and accent.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Pretty sure I’m not whispering, just soft spoken. Maybe pretend it’s an ASMR vid...?

[@brianstarnes2718]

@@BoardGameBollocks I agree, I am on number 3 and all I have understood is shuffle board. I am hard of hearing. ;) Would you list the games, on the video, as you say them.

[@KipdoesStuff]

I agree, it was too annoying to get past your voice. Feel free to dismiss this comment too,

[@BoardGameBollocks]

This is by far my most popular video…seems your in the minority. ✊🏻💦

Absolutely painful description of the games. Don't ramble on describing the game, just show it in play.
