Top 50 Board Games of All Time | 50-41 | Best Board Games

[@stefkortchak3012]

Mmm probably would guess 20 games overlapping? Interesting to hear the variety of games that you both chose.

[@connwom1]

You know the brothers Murph are just jealous of how Jeff can rock a hat. 😂

[@FostertheMeeple]

Oh 100%! They know it to be true

[@FostertheMeatball]

I would love to hear more about Dominent Species since both reviews so far I've seen really ended up never wanting to play it again because of the length and calculations, so surprised to see Jamie like it so much.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I’ll be honest I haven’t watched any reviews to know the issues. Can only speak to our play and I have 0 complaints (at 2p)

[@FostertheMeatball]

@@FostertheMeeple that's excellent to hear!

[@terradudley1240]

Taking a break from studying for my certification exams to catch up on some videos! Always love this series so I’m excited to see how this year pans out :) I guessed 4 crossovers this video, 21 crossovers overall.. was off by a few on this video, so let’s see how it goes overall… also mechanics-wise, I’d probably call obsession a tableau builder/hand management game?

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yea I think that’s a fair assessment of the mechanics!! Good luck on the exams!

[@jaayse3690]

I recently did a pub meeple ranking for myself for the first time, I only had 280 games on it and it took forever! 50. Splendor 49. Cascadia 48. Spire's End: Hildegard 47. Betrayal at House on the Hill 46. Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island 45. Calico 44. Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig 43. Endangered 42. The Guild of Merchant Explorers 41. Dead of Winter: A Crossover Game

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much for sharing! Hope you had fun with it like we did :)

[@jaayse3690]

@@FostertheMeeple It was tough to make some of the choices, and I didn't massage my list although it probably needs it, but I think it has helped me let go of some of the games at the bottom of the list which is a pretty good side effect.

[@LittleBigThumbs]

Loose Caboose!! Can we add that to our list of games to play if/when we finally hang out?? And oh wow, Neuroshima Hex is a classic! Glad to see that one still getting some love. Side note - Lindsay (my partner) loves your lighting and says I need to figure out how to do it that way. 😅

[@FostertheMeeple]

1) yes to loose caboose / let’s just pick a date and make it happen (shoot us an email)! 2) Feel free to hit up Jamie with any questions!! Any way we can help just ask!

[@rolling.reggie]

I love your guys particular tastes and want to play or already love so many of these. LOL at Jeff’s hats (keep ‘em coming) and Doninant Class. Please tell Jamie I want to play Marvel Champions with her!!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Jamie said she wants to play marvel champions with you!

[@slashfear]

Rezourches, it’s all I can hear 😅 thanks y’all. Really enjoy your videos!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha we’ve had people mention it to us and I never notice the difference!

[@newguy2878]

Great video thank you. Really love the new intro. The short part that shows you guys cracking up brings me joy. Thank you for that. Love you guys

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much!! We really love it too

[@VideoGameTakeOut]

Jeff is going down a dangerous hat route. Soon he'll own hundreds like Tom Vassel. It's not too late for you Jeff, turn back. lol

[@FostertheMeeple]

hats on hats on hats

[@dennisdonetti1675]

It’s hard to take Jeff’s list when he looks like a farmer who lost their crop in the dust bowl.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hat hater

[@deanmccrossen2766]

That’s a fishing hat! 🎣 LOL

[@Paper_Smith]

You guys play most of your games together right? Ima say 20 crossover games 😁 also! Love the new edition to the marvel jeffvengers hat universe haha!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahah thank you!

[@gwvance]

Love the video and the games, but Jeff’s sweatshirt deserves a shoutout. Mount A for the win.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Fellow MTA alum?!? Nice! Jamie & I are both alumni.

[@gwvance]

@@FostertheMeeple Sure am! Proud former resident of Edwards House.

[@FostertheMeeple]

@@gwvance south side!! Hunton for both of us!

[@MichaelWielgorecki]

11 cross-overs

[@chriswoosley4525]

Anyone know where to find fuji flush in the states? Thanks in advance

[@liquefiedpork]

I found a copy on EBAY a couple months ago. That was the only place online that I found it. And I'm pretty sure the price was higher than it should have been. Good luck.

[@portwills]

I think 3 crossovers

[@jgutkind]

Guessing you will have 28 cross over games. Jeff was the hat joke edited out because I miss it? All your hats help me remember what video I have watched so please no crossovers on the hat wearing.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha I don’t think I can keep up the new hat every video trend Eileen!

[@Endeva09]

Stardew Valley is soooooo good.

[@FostertheMeeple]

It really is

[@sydnoodle1005]

I really love that Jeff keeps changing his hat 😂

[@FostertheMeeple]

I can’t keep up with it Sydney!! Hat shortage is looming!

[@JakeJackPot_]

Farmer Jeff!

[@gyaneshmishra3195]

I predict 10 crossovers, and maybe 2-3 double crossovers. Great video, but terribly low on Jamie's sass 😪 We need more sass!!!

[@family_meeple]

I consider Obsession to be a tableau builder with hand management. That's how I describe it.

[@tyleryoung3158]

Jamie, thank you for getting the fluffs off of Jeff's brim. He looked VERY silly.

[@FostertheMeeple]

HAHAHA this got a good laugh outta me. Kudos to you Tyler

[@DualistGamer]

I just love Obsession, great pick. The fact that you couldn’t describe the mechanics without talking theme tells you all you need to know! So smooth and thematic. Also, we live in Derbyshire UK where it’s set. Yes, it’s that beautiful. 😁

[@FostertheMeeple]

You’re a lucky human! But yea - it’s smooth for sure. Adore it

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Ok several things. 1. Jeff, I am pleased to see you are finally wearing a sensible, subtle hat. It’s about time. 2. The fact that we have inspired you to do anything at all in this world is truly amazing and we are beyond humbled. 3. Since we’ve inspired you to do all this… we’ll take 10%

[@FostertheMeeple]

1) Thank you, stay tuned for much more sensibility & subtlety. 2) You deserve all the praise and more. Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do for this hobby. 3) 10% of 0 coming your way. Do you take cash, cheque?

[@twhanmer]

Only 10%?

[@ThinkerThemer]

LOL That’s actually our Irish channel 🤣

[@FostertheMeeple]

Well now we definitely need an Irish thinker themer channel!

[@Melsboardgameroom]

Great list so far. Neuroshima Hex and Dominant Species are currently on my unplayed shelf. Need to get playing.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yes!! Agreed, let us know what you think!

[@kevinfer6253]

Jeff. I'm a hat guy too! When's a Foster The Meeple fitted or snap back coming out? Or a fidora?!?

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha I have no idea!

[@Emily_VT]

I'm guessing over 15 crossovers!

[@gemtimegames6040]

Omg Jamie, the confidence with which you said, "Look, are you asking the world or are you asking me because I've already gotten one thing right." 🤣

[@FostertheMeeple]

The hubris of Jamie knows no bounds

[@anikdoucet6240]

I got Fuji Flush and Boomerang Europe because of you and it’s SO MUCH FUN! And I just bought Ugly Gryphon Inn, excited to try it. I really want Planet Unknown, my next purchase.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yay!! So happy you’re enjoying them!

[@scyldscefing3913]

12 crossovers

[@marymamabear5415]

I have that song stuck in my head, too!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha I’m glad we are not alone

[@dannyp3333]

This hat journey is amazing

[@FostertheMeeple]

I’m worried I’ve begun a quest I cannot complete

[@sroswell22]

Here for the great 2023 hatastrophe

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahah love it

[@malvinafis6907]

Finally catching up here. So many great games already.

[@malvinafis6907]

I am shoked FCI is so low for Jamie :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

So was I!

[@jayfraser6497]

My guess is 24 crossovers. btw.... Blood Rage!!! should be higher, but still glad to see it on Jeff's list!

[@FostertheMeeple]

It probably should, you’re right but I’m just getting reacquainted with it!

[@JakeJackPot_]

I am really excited to see how this list goes! It would be really cool to see a quick list from last year at top 10 before you give your lists just to see how they have shifted or something like that! Can't wait!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Will see what we can do Jake!

[@richlather6911]

I predict two in this video, eleven overall. And Jeff's exasperated, octave higher, "Why would you!? " during the candy retrieval sode quest is exactly what I do at home. My wife and I drive each other nuts like that, and it's fun to see it on screen with others. 🤣

[@richlather6911]

Aw nertz, revising down to 3 crossovers overall.

[@bobageoff]

I'm just here to see what Jeff's next hat is going to be. Fingers crossed the next one has a propeller on top

[@FostertheMeeple]

I’m gonna run outta hats soon. I’ve started a bit I can’t follow through on!

[@patrickfawcett637]

Just starting the video, but I’d like to say that it was last year’s Top 50 that pulled me in to your channel. Thank you so much for the great videos and for sharing your stories with us. #porkpiejeff

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha thanks so much Patrick! Glad you’ve enjoyed and thanks so much for always being here to comment. It does mean a lot to us!

[@warblefly81]

Dominant Species is one of my favorite games, but it does take about an hour per player. Just know that going in.

[@robrattley3902]

Don't lose the sass Jamie, we're here for the sass.

[@FostertheMeeple]

She will NEVER lose that sass. You need not worry haha

[@gyaneshmishra3195]

I second! Had to comment because we want to hear her sass!!!

[@gurnblanston2848]

Great lists so far, except for Radlands being so low, and that making me sad, but I'll soldier on. Can I ask which version or Edition of Innovation you were playing? I have Third Edition, and there's no art on the cards at all. Your version looks MUCH prettier, and I may need to rebuy it to get the nice looking version.

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s the iello version of the game with much prettier art haha. I am unsure how widely available it is

[@beckybarfois7831]

I love your channel! I get so excited every time I see a new video. And if Jamie recommends a game I’m all over it! Our tastes are SO similar!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much Becky!!! So happy you’ve found a commonality with Jamie! Happy gaming!

[@natrc4593]

Loving the first installment of your top 50 😄I thought Food Chain Island would be Jamie's highest Button Shy Game! On a side note, I also have a degree in Biology (Environmental Biology to be exact) maybe that's why we love games about animals and nature haha 😄

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha I’d say that’s definitely the case!

[@Thebrad11984]

100% agreed you need a Mathew Jude theme song. It’s been stuck in my head for weeks. And I keep calling people dumb dumb bing bongs. Also was hoping to see planet unknown a little higher up. 10pts at least for lazy Susan. Also nice to see Jeff repping Agricola. Fight the blah

[@FostertheMeeple]

I will forever fight the blah Brad!

[@tyleryoung3158]

Also, careful with Marvel Champions, you'll soon become ADDICTED.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha I got her a couple new characters for Christmas. I also fear for her

[@patrickwhite7785]

I think Obsession is kind of cross between a tableau builder and area control. No, not really area control, but kind of a similar feel trying to have the most points for the room type for that season. I agree it is not worker placement, despite all the servant meeples, it is more like resource allocation? Whatever it is, it's great and Dan Halligan is one of my favorite people in boardgames.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I think resource allocation is a good call-out. Just that your resources are people?

[@jamesmorgan1967]

I'm unboxing Tiletum and Planet Unknown as I watch! Came for the board games. Stayed for the hat. (You have to keep the hat parade going!)

[@FostertheMeeple]

I’m gonna run out of hats real fast haha

[@StephenHill-et6ri]

I'm here more and more because of Jeff's hats. But seriously enjoying the content and banter. Thank you.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for watching Stephen!

[@richlather6911]

Also, you've been to Ohio! Lovely! Holding out hope you might be able to get to Origins this year!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha we have!

[@matthewatherton6537]

"Get out of here with your sass". Sorry, never going to happen. And we the audience never want to happen either. Great video!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha glad you enjoy Matthew!

[@clairemack2750]

Jeff needs a firefighter's helmet

[@FostertheMeeple]

I DO need a firefighter helmet

[@IllBuythePopcorn]

I feel you guys will have at least 10 crossovers. I really want to play Rococo & Planet Unknown.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I really want you to play Rococco & Planet Unknown!

[@jjtheBaldBoardGamer]

I’m going to say around 15 crossovers total! You each enjoy a lot of the same games, from what I can tell. But Jamie solo’s and Jeff has a decent amount of one’s he plays that Jamie isn’t into.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I think that’s a fair assessment!

[@dupthedodger]

“Who are you asking? The world or A SCIENTIST?!” 😂

Radlands is hands down in my top 50 games. Played some epics rounds of it over the weekend.
