This is the most underrated board game channel out there. Love your videos guys, keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
When Monique and Naveen talk about their board game evenings I feel such a sense of FOMO that I'm not their friend. I bet their evenings are amazing! :D

Love the list. CUBIRDS is fantastic, one of the only games I sleeved due to how much these hazards get handled. Lots of Great games, I like card games.
Apparently it's now widely available on Amazon, we might pick up a 2nd copy.
Really enjoying this series! Alchemists is one of my favorite games, the rulebook is hilarious, and and it's great production for the price as well. The Search for Planet X is also an excellent deduction game and is significantly shorter and without the cutthroat worker placement part of Alchemists.
SO excited that you guys are doing your Top 50, as our tastes often align! I just made a Top 50 myself and will follow along - we have a few crossovers here!
50) Kingdomino

Great list Kathleen! Out of your whole list Barenpark is the one we would really love to try someday!!
When I run through pubmeeple I also always ask myself "if I had the perfect group and the time which game would I rather play?" So glad you guys are doing this!
Glad to hear you talking about Splendor, I have no idea what people have against It. It was one of my earliest modern games and I still like it today.
So true!! It’s a great one.

Monique and Naveen are so charming. Your content is so honest and down to earth too: no hype. Looking forward to this 5 hours of content!
Guys, why don't you release the next episodes of this video? I hope you will include PAX PAMIR Second Edition. It is a masterpiece, and I think it deserves much more attention. It could be easily in the top 10 strategy list and in the top 10 overall rankings at BGG.
So many great games on both lists! Many of Which would probably be higher if I were making a list.....now I can't wait to see what you have listed higher. Thanks for all of the great content!
I've done my comparisons on PubMeeple and come up with my top 50:
50 - The Great Balloon Race - great game of bluff and nerve.
49 - Top Race - best racing car game I've played.
48 - Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails - Ticket takes to the waves and monsters.
47 - 1829 - the original 18XX, brilliant in its day.
46 - 1830 - Railways and Robber Barons - 18XX moves over the pond.
45 - India Rails - one of best crayon rails games.
44 - El Grande - sculduggery in medieval Spain
43 - Great Western Trail - Rawhide in game form (showing my age!).
42 - Samurai - Reiner's best tile laying game.
41 - The Castles of Burgundy - one of Stefan Feld's best games.

I envy YOU!!!!!!!
Gosh, have I played 50 board games? I'm pretty new to hobbyist board gaming, but this channel keeps adding things to my list of game to keep an eye out for. My husband just got me CO2: Second Chance for Christmas after I raved to him about your Ladera series. We've played co-op twice and didn't make it to the third round. 😅
Haha CO2 is super hard/punishing. Keep at it, it feels so good to win!
Thoroughly enjoying your top 50! My 41-50 are as follows:
50 - Ticket to Ride: Europe
49 - Seikatsu
48 - Rolling Realms
47 - King of Tokyo

Manhattan Project: EE is not set in the future it’s set in post WWII and the theme is post WWII development and mitigating the pollution that historically was a new concern.
I liked hearing about your honorable mentions. When you first stated you were eliminating games you loved but only played once, the one that first came to mind for me was Hansa Teutonica, and then ten seconds later you mentioned it! It is a heap of fun, but certainly best if you have five players.
Appreciate the content:
41 - Linko, Michael Kiesling & Wolfgang Kramer
42 - Dominant Species, Chad Jensen
43 - Santiago, Claudia Hely & Roman Pelek
44 - Can’t Stop, Sid Sackson

50 - Cosmic Frog, Jim Felli
wow, I cant believe you guys are doing this. Can't wait to see what you enjoy!
Us too!
I too am surprised at how low Splendor is on Naveen’s list. It was one of the games I taught at the Norwich Games Festival when I volunteered there for a week. It was quick and easy to teach, and most everyone liked it.
I would say playing Splendor with only 2 players makes it much more aggressive. Only 4 chips of each colour means that if someone takes two in one turn, that’s half the pile. I’ve noticed that novice (or vengeful) players do this and go for high-cost cards first, then reach their max token count not being able to buy the card they want, so they just sit there buying first-row cards with the colours you don’t need, amassing cheap cards while keeping the tokens you do need. This is why I lost my first 37 games in a row. 😂
As you mentioned, it’s a gateway game, and seasoned gamers often (though certainly not always) have that one game that is their Splendor killer. For many it’s Century: Spice Road, but I never got into that one much. For me, it was Gizmos, which has all the same actions, plus super satisfying chain reactions, and with the randomised supply, if you get deadlocked, it’s your own fault! 😀
I could watch y’all talk about board games all day.
HAHA thanks!
Totally love 3 of the games mentioned today. Splendor is such a simple to teach yet fun game. Bohnanza is such a classic, the way we play, we end up not negotiating but begging to give away cards to other players! Finally, Rajas of the Ganges does have that nice dual track race you mentioned. Slight correction though, the 1st to cross does not necessarily win the game as equal turns are given in the end game trigger. aka, if 2nd player that round triggers, 3rd/4th players still get to finish their turns.
Definitely my favourite gaming play/review channel. Looking forward to seeing the journey your top 50 lists take.
Happy to see Splendor on your list! I get why people don't like it, or grow out of it, but it's such a great starter game when introducing people into the hobby that I feel it deserves a spot. My Dad typically grumbles when he's visiting and I ask him to play something because he struggles with too many rules, but he really got into Splendor and actually bought a copy for himself and my Mom. Thanks for sharing!
Exactly! Splendor is a fantastic game. We recently played it again and all the players agreed it still stands up to this day. That's so awesome about your dad!!! hahaha
Great list! I’m really happy you are doing your top 50. Looking forward for the next video.

You guys have such a nice, pleasant demeanor. Naturals! To the point, engaging and fun! Thanks for all the hard work - I love The Search for Planet X too! I think your tastes really vibe with my wife's and mine as well so makes your videos even more valuable. Thanks again!
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoy our videos!
I love these kind of lists.
Love this channel! i started watching you both and got so much more into board games! Thanks for sharing your love of the Hobby with us all!
Aww Charlene! That is so nice to hear. That’s what our channel is all about. Welcome to the hobby, we hope you continue to dive in!
Hansa Teutonica is my top 2, amazing game! Great list there.
It’s so good! Played a full 5 player game and it was a riot!
Started through the list in the last week, and always interesting to see where games will land. Enjoying these so far.
Really enjoyable, love the way you guys delve into the games, best configurations, the things you don't like as much, etc.
Thank you so much 😊!
I had a game of Calico that was "this close" to greatness. I was literally one tile short of scoring all my objectives completely, but my oponent had taken the one perfect tile I needed maybe halfway through the game.
I have some of the games in this list, and I really like the quick crunchy card game variety. Usually the set up is zero and the satisfaction is great (such as Hanamikoji, it's a recurring ender for me). Hats is another one (which I learned about when you featured here!), and Mandala (which is similar, but two player only).
Following the original rules, Bohnanza with 3-5p just uses the 6-20 cards, which makes for a much snappier game. The extra cards in the the Rio Grande edition are an official variant (needed for higher player counts), but they really drag out the game with 5 or fewer players. Ditch the extra cards so Monique can enjoy Bohnanza!
Thanks for the tips! We had no idea!
I keep a running list of games I want to play and 3/4 of them are from your recommendations. I've already tried Alchemists and really enjoyed it and you introduced me to Spirit Island, which I am currently obsessed with. Really enjoyed this video!
This was so good! Thank you for taking on this huge task, so many great games!
Thanks Carrie!!
It's great to see you guys doing a top 50, and some interesting stuff in this chunk. We love Calico and Splendor, and are keen to check out Shotten Totten and Planet X.

Can't wait for the rest of the list! Calico is one of my favorite games of all time too. Idk if I can pick a favorite for my collection but I will say the game my husband and I have played the most is probably New York Zoo.
Both are fantastic!
These lists are what makes the end of the year special :)
Festivus for the rest of us!

Thanks David, hope you are doing well!
If you like wheeling & Dealing you should try "Chinatown" !!!
A handful of people have suggested that game. I’m definitely down!
Really like your choices! There is a substantial overlap with my taste in games. I never heard about Animal Kingdoms until I watched this video, and Naveen inspired me to get a copy. Just got it yesterday and loved the first play of it. Thanks for putting this on my radar! Very curious for the rest of your top 50 :-)
Dude that’s awesome!!! Animal kingdoms plays great at all player counts too!
I'm so excited to see these lists!!! Definitely want to know what kinda games you guys like, so I know what to expect!!! Love the vid! ❤️
Awesome picks!! Cant wait to watch the rest of these lists! Love y’all’s vibe and energy ❤️😊
Thanks Bridget, we are having a lot of fun with it.
Yes! I was literally just looking yesterday for some sort of top favorite games.
I really love watching you guys. I watch your channel during my lunch at work. Always such a relaxing ,fun vibe
I knew I wasn’t crazy in thinking that Villainous is actually good!
50 - Feudum
49 - Tainted Grail

47 - Paladins of the West Kingdom
46 - Smartphone Inc.
45 - Troyes
44 - Dixit
43 - Magic: the Gathering Vintage
42 - Flesh and Blood Blitz
41 - Watergate
Love this and you two! Can't wait to see the rest of your top picks. After we get thru the holiday season I'll be expanding my collection and using these videos for insight! Thanks!
I loved Splendor and while it didn't get me into the hobby, it was one of the earlier games I owned that had a lot of plays. At this point, it's a game I would play as a gateway with people but generally wouldn't ask to play. I considered selling it off, but we have young kids (2yo and one coming) and due to it's simple rules without text to read this is one that might be one accessible for them in a few years.
Really enjoyed. Excited to watch the other count down videos to see now your top 5. Trust your choices so making a list.😀
I'm very excited for this series. Of this chunk of games I've only played nine and of those nine my favorite might be Bohnanza. Though that game is very group dependent. I had a great group for it but I also played it with some people who were less willing to wheel and deal and it was definitely not as good.
Hansa Teutonica is so very good. It's my #1
Hi Terry! Hope you had a blast last weekend! It was really great to meet you both. Hansa might just make a future list if we were to do another top 50 in 2 years time.
@@BeforeYouPlay It was a fantastic weekend - plus we got to meet you both! The only thing that would have made it even better is if we'd been able to play a game with you - how cool would that have been?! Thanks again for the contest!
Thats so Clever is really good. My wife and I play and its surprisingly interactive, as you can be significantly influenced by what your opponent needs. Its quite fun. This interaction doesnt shine as much in multiple players as you cant thwart them all.
Anyway, a really good presentation of a top 50. i will eagerly watch the remaining lists.
take care and enjoy the holidays. Jeff
We would love to try it competitive, but the app gives me so much joy lol. Happy holidays to you as well!
So much love for Energy Empire! And Calico! And so many I need to check out as well!
Excellent start to both of your lists! I'm really enjoying your videos more and more since I found out about you this year! Wish I had met you both at PaxU. I wish you both a Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much 😊, we had a great time at PaxU. Hopefully we can connect at the next convention!
I played 81 games in 2021 that I’d never played before, so I made a top 50 of those for Instagram.
Here are #50-41 in the Top New-To-Me Games of 2021:
#50. Oceans
#49. Aqualin
#48. Above and Below
#47. Troyes Dice
#46. Trains
#45. Imhotep: The Duel
#44. PUSH
#43. Kingdom Builder
#42. Barony
#41. Draftosaurus
A nice start to a long list :)
I am glad you mentioned Lorenzo il Magnifico, as it is one of my favourite games. The big box is already available in Europe, check it out! Has a 5th tower of cards (a mix of the other 4 colours), as well as an option to play with 5 players, and much more. Give it a shot!
The same creators made Grand Austria Hotel, which is also an amazing game I happened to acquire recently :)
Looking forward to the rest of your list!
Love seeing this list! Trying to figure out which of you I have more in common with gaming wise. Monique has 2 games in my top 25 already (Rajas of the Ganges - #22, Five Tribes - #7) and I have one crossover with Naveen (Energy Empire - #45). I own 3 of Monique's 41-50 and 4 of Naveen's. So far I think I am closer to Monique, but once Naveen gets into his dry Euro's I might lean more his way!
Here's my 50-41:
50. Concordia
49. Clans of Caledonia
48. Dominion
47. La Granja

Looking forward to seeing the next 4 rounds of this. Not that I don’t enjoy looking at your lovely faces, but in the next videos if you could leave the game play clips up longer that would be appreciated. Having those visuals up while you talk about the different elements of these games is helpful and makes it more immersive. Also, it’s crime that Manhattan Project Energy Empire did not get ranked higher 😁
Search for planet x looks great. I'm playing a friend's copy this weekend. Maybe it will end up in my top 50.
Thanks both of you for another highly anticipated video! Awesome, I love your content so much. Excellent choices and looking forward to the rest of the series!
This is going to be great! I’ll discover new games and reminisce past playthroughs that made me discover great games such as Rajas of the Ganges.

41. Welcome to...
Hi Robert, you sound like our kind of gamer!!
Bohnanza was one of the first games I bought (and lost, so I bought it again), and I still love it.
On the other hand, I used to like Splendor, but I burned out on it after about 30 games. I have played a lot more Catan and Ticket to Ride than that, but Splendor didn't hold up as the casual game that I would enjoy for much longer.
Ahh I see, we take extended breaks from Splendor and it always feels “homely” when we return to it. We were not fans of the expansion though…
@@BeforeYouPlay Now that you mentioned it, I probably could get back to playing Splendor. Maybe I've recovered from the burnout at this point. 😄
Ah! It's that time of the year for PUB MEEPLE!! I've been doing this ranking of my collection every year at the end of the year and see how my games rank from last year. I might wait a little bit as I'm trying to get a couple games of Azul: Queen's Gardens in before the end of the year so I can rank it honestly. After two plays it's already my favourite Azul, but not sure where it'll place with the rest of my games. I'll have to come back here in a couple weeks when I've got my results.
We’ve sadly only played the original Azul and absolutely love it! That’s good to hear the new one ranks highly for you!
@@BeforeYouPlay Okay! It's been a couple of weeks and the results are in! My top 50-41 are:
50: Project L (just played the Finesse expansion last night and it that really helped it to squeak in)
49. Photosynthesis
48. Burgle Bros.
47. Welcome to the Moon (so good that I'll be getting rid of the original Welcome To...)
46. Azul: Queen's Garden (here it is! not bad for a new game, there are quite a few '21 releases in here)
45. Unlock! (the series - just so much fun and no destruction of components)
44. Five Tribes
43. Sagrada (and all the expansions makes it such a thinky game)
42. The Reckoners (doubt this will be on many people's list, but as a fan of the books I get completely immersed.
41. Joraku (not too well known, but so clever and unlike anything else I've played)
