Top 10 Games to Start Your Collection!

For all those folks who maybe have played games for a while but now were looking to begin your very own board game collection, this is the list for you! We have tried to curate a list of games that will be accessible, have a variety of themes and give you ample opportunities to bust out that new game collection of yours. There are some games that we would consider "Next Level" meaning they may be a game best suited for once you have played through some of the other games in your collection first. These games are meant for you to grow into and discover as an on going part of your board game journey!
What do you think of this list? What do you consider an essential game to get early in your board game collecting? Give us suggestions in the comments below. And we would love suggestions that don't cost too much so no Gloomhaven unfortunately.
Our list for quick reference:
10. Raiders of the North Sea (Fun intro to worker placement games)
9. High Society (Silly Auction/bidding game where you get to be fancy)
8. Sagrada (Build a beautiful stained glass window with colorful dice)
7. Wingspan (pretty birds, awesome combos, simple actions)
6. Detective Club (try to not look suspicious with awesome art)
5. Stop Thief (Catch thieves using audio clues with the whole family)
4. The Quacks of Quedlinburg (push your potion making luck!)
3. Cartographers (Be the best map maker you can be!)
2. Barenpark (Fun puzzle as you build a bear park. Praise Be)
1. Carcassonne (THE gateway game. Build the game as you go!)
We hope you find this list helpful! Cheers!
