10 years is how long it takes me to learn some games!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

Very True!

[@danielangevine1346]

survive! is a banger of a game like 40 years on. interested to see how the reprint/streamline goes

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

1. Puerto Rico 2. BattleTech 3. Yahtzee Poker Deluxe 4. Advance to Boardwalk 5. Mille Bornes 6. Mystery Mansion 7. Viticulture _with_ Tuscany 8. Takenoko

[@SushmeitMadhavan]

Concordia! Samurai!

[@alexlord4599]

Civilization (1980) from Avalon Hill would be my #1 easily. I've been playing it for over 2 decades now. What a great game. I never get tired of it.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

What about Magic Realm?? Have you ever heard of it?!!

[@mkitten13]

Age of Innovation works well at 2 (I too do not play Terra Mystica at 2, I prefer it at 4, then 3, then 5). Also prefer Terra Mystica to Gaia Project (but Age of Innovation is my favourite out of the three).

[@RopeBunny.]

I'll need this again in 2034!

[@arthurdent9281]

Lol, I've never heard of Last Will, but it's basically the idea from the movie, "Brewster's Millions". Sounds fun!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

38:09 Takenoko!!! You mean the panda game?!!!!!!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

2:22 Where can I find that list (of your personal Top 20 Games)? Thanks!

[@RoomandBoardReviews]

@@JJ_TheGreat should be the video linked at the end

[@JJ_TheGreat]

@@RoomandBoardReviewsThanks!

[@Cdohm1]

Defenders of the realm

[@applecorc]

Shogun not getting mentioned 😢

[@jean-francoisdumas2325]

El Grande!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

9:06 What about the gears in Windmill Valley?!

[@gregmahler9506]

Your voice sounds a little like Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. Interesting video.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

17:14 Also, 5 makes the game take so long. Therefore, I would recommend playing at 4 (but as I said, Age of Innovation is just better…)

[@caritofanatica]

Elysium is a fantastic game also!

[@AlBundy4td]

HeroQuest

[@dougsundseth6904]

If I were to do a top 100 list, I'm quite sure that at least half of the list would be more than _20_ years old. And Agricola wouldn't make the list, though M:tG, Seventh Sea CCG, and Legend of the Five Rings definitely would. 8-) (I have about the same reaction to Agricola as you do to M:tG -- I get that some people really like the game, but I have to assume it's a result of brain damage or a very sad childhood.)

[@dago6410]

The best game ie Citadels did not even show up in the 100, Wow xd i mean it Got better never editions, sure, but ....

[@chrisarney8265]

1.) 7 Wonders 2.) Betrayal at House on the Hill (everyone's favorite game to call "overrated" even though nobody seems to like it much) 3.) War of the Ring 4.) King of Tokyo 5.) Small World 6.) El Grande (I'm kind of winging it, after this) 7.) Machi Koro ? 8.) For Sale ? 9.) Shark ?

[@JJ_TheGreat]

@chrisarney8265 I REALLY hate Betrayal At House On The Hill. It was the game that made me dislike asymmetric games.

[@chrisarney8265]

@@JJ_TheGreat And that seems to be closer to the consensus based on people to whom I talk.

[@dago6410]

But ten yesrs is not an order game. I would say 20 us minimum to call it order.

[@stormburns]

most of them are though in the list

[@JJ_TheGreat]

14:52 Yes, Age of Innovation is better than Terra Mystica in almost every way. I see no reason to play TM now that there is AoI… For example, the variable setup is just so much better in AoI - so you can play the factions differently. Also, the gameplay is deeper, with the books.

[@davidgezelius4507]

10 years is not old.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

I don’t play board games online… There was a reason I had gotten into the board game hobby - and it was to have some time in which we are away from technology - and throw back to simpler times in the old days.

[@GKEK]

This list is ON POINT, Chris! With you 💯 on pretty much every selection that i have experienced playing. Seasons... it IS good on BGA but nothing beats the IRL chonky dice feels, but best with players of similar level of experience with the game. Five Tribes is sooooo good and I am so bad at it. But I love this game. I just hate playing with other people (A.P.). lol Could go on and on... GREAT LIST.

[@talenkl]

Love me some Five Tribes! In my top faves

[@JJ_TheGreat]

I don’t like Five Tribes. It was the game which made me discover that I don’t like games which are overly tactical. What I really don’t like is that it is a multi-player (as in more than 2 player) game, in which the board state changes EVERY turn, based on what other players do - so therefore, it is impossible to plan your turn until RIGHT BEFORE your turn comes along - which contributes to the Analysis Paralysis (AP) - and I am the ultimate objectivist to begin with, so I am looking at every move and am quite AP-prone anyway. But, for example, in a 4-player game - depending on how things go, you might go 7 times without having a turn (if you bid to go 1st one round - and then end up going last the next round). Also, as I said, between turns, there is just nothing for you to do except for waiting until right before your turn. You can’t plan your move ahead.

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

Agricola should only be in two lists: 1. Most overrated game of all time. 2. Biggest disappointing game of all time.

[@alexlord4599]

Civilization (1980) from Avalon Hill would be my #1 easily. I've been playing it for over 2 decades now. What a great game. I never get tired of it.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

What about Magic Realm?? Have you ever heard of it?!!
