@dilansiy "Hey guys, I’m looking for a gateway game for my group. The heaviest game we’ve played is catan. What should we play next? I was thinking castles of burgundy or quest for el dorado" Hopefully you see this comment mate. It's such hard question as we don't know your group. HOWEVER we absolutely recommend Quest for El Dorado, it is a great introductory deck building race game that has a lot of replayability. Other games we love you can check out in our next video which is our Top 10 Gateway Games of the Year which is pretty much guaranteed to have a great selection of games in there.
So do we! We certainly recognise that our Top 10's are not for everyone, but I am sure there would be games that we like that you love! What are some of the games that you like?
@@bggateway Yes, there are some games on your lists that I enjoy. Castles of Burgandy and King of Tokyo stand out. I enjoy Code Names Pictures but things like Dixit, Space Base, Ark Nova and Terraforming Mars I detest but will still play if there aren't any other options.
I think thats a great list! Dice Forge is such an under-rated game and Clank Catacombs we adore. A lot of those games made it into the pool for voting for our Best Gateway Games of 2024. Also i'd never play TFM with people who don't want to play it, with the wrong group it drags and becomes so slow with downtime, same with Ark Nova. I'll admin i've never played Obsession but I have seen it and would love to give it a go. - Neeber
This is my 1-5 list of my favorite board games 1. Blood on the Clocktower 2. Cascadia 3. Dune imperium 4. Smartphone 5. Settlers of Catan Hall of Fame List 1. Terraforming Mars
Dune Imperium: Uprising is the Dune game to play. An easy step up from the original. I know people don't want to buy the same game twice, but i had only played the digital version of the original, so it was an easy call for me to grab the Uprising physical version.
We agree, we've played them all as well. I will admit I had the same thought of "its the same game" but after playing Uprising it is the subtle changes they have made that just make it a tighter package. - Neeber
Enjoy the professional experience going on here. Two things. Loose the ability to see under the table. Painted shiplap would work. Id rather see a set that looks more like the Gutfeld show on fox when there’s this many people. Tom Arnold use to have a sports show with a similar set..it was also on fox. Second, don’t dress the same. Also where are the girls? It’s also wise to group everyone into smaller groups and do multiple top 10 lists, you need someone directing and producing each episode off camera, you’ll get more views and it won’t seem so chaotic. There’s also room for better graphics here which is needed, you need to show larger box art and an image or two of the game itself on the player. There also needs to be more focus on the mechanisms and the way those mechanisms work towards the game “feeling” hitting components and the artwork as well. You also don’t mention the designers publishers or the artists. There’s a lot of potential here, hope you can figure it out.
Hey mate, thank you for the feedback we really appreciate it :) In regards to the set, we are working on a more permanent to actually have that feeling. Currently we have to setup and teardown all equipment after use which is hard to make the box work in the current setup. There is a lot of things we are learning about editing on the fly as well and we will have a look into better graphics. The Top 10 lists are normally a departure from our usual format where a lot of the things you say are normally addressed. But we hope you stick around and give more feedback as we are looking to make this the best we can as well. - Neeber
I feel like everyone has a hall of fame for some games. Games that you know will always hold a special place in your heart, ones that aren't perfect but are perfect to you. But yes totally a cop out. You have seen straight through me, I just didn't want to rank it!!

Where is Keyflower?
I love Keyflower! It didn’t make my top 10 this time but if it comes to the table more it might squeeze in there in future.

Great video, but hall of Fame? What a cop-out
I feel like everyone has a hall of fame for some games. Games that you know will always hold a special place in your heart, ones that aren't perfect but are perfect to you.
But yes totally a cop out. You have seen straight through me, I just didn't want to rank it!!
