Chess is also my favorite game! Seven Wonders is what got me into other board games. Everdell looks right up my alley since I feed the wild birds and squirrels in my neighborhood with peanuts and I love nature in general. Awesome list!
My partner and I have devised a process for deciding what game to play next, which might work for you two and other gentle subscribers. We take turns choosing two games that we want to play, and the other person picks one of the two. This has really reduced our “what do you feel like playing?” conversations :-)
It's interesting how not only is there there almost no overlap in games, it seems the best games of all time may not even be liked so much by the other! I guess it's worth playing them all and figuring out what style of game(s) you like! In terms of price and/or simplicity for beginners, are there any that standout: Everdell Series*** Takenoko, 7 Wonders *** Onitama, Terraforming Mars , Its a Wonderful World, Alien Frontiers, Chronicles of Crime, Clank in Space, Yinsh, Shadows Over Camelot, Roll For the Galaxy, Hive, Viscounts of West Kingdom, Reavers of Midgard, Memoir '44 (2 player game), Stone Age, Castles of Burgandy/Tuscany, It's also interesting, many 'best-of' videos seem to usually have these somewhere: Gloomhaven Pandemic Barenpark Dwellings of Eldervale, Aquatica, Red Rising, The Search For Planet X Viticulture Welcome To... Above & Below Wingspan Miyabi Tiny Towns Concordia Merchant's Cove, Tapple , Kemet Cartographers Marvel United
Man, you listed soo many good games!! For more beginners out of your list, I’d probably pick Everdell, Wingspan, Stone Age, Hive, Yinsh. But most of those are good!
New subscriber here. I’m new to the Board Game community and I kind of find it a healthy, relaxing hobby just like video games. After having some simple to learn recommendations from SungWon, I can’t help to delve more. Guess what I just started to dive into? Everdell and Root 😂 I know but it just captivates me. Never thought Board Games could be this creative, fun and memorable with friends and family. The only thing is, most of them are kind of expensive 😂 more so than video games honestly, lol. But I don’t mind. They’re worth more than their price values. And oh, I take into heart all your top tens! 🥰👍.
Welcome to the BGP family and welcome to the board game community! Everdell and Root are great choices! Absolutely love all the critters. Stay tuned for some more top 10 action in the near future!
I actually have not played any of the games on your top 10 lists. Memoir 44 should be absolutely my kind of game mechanic wise, but I'm really deterred by the war theme. I'm def wanting to learn more about castle of burgundy, takenoko and all the GIP games as they all look so interesting to me.
I am so pleased to see Chess on a board game best of list. If this game was created today I am convinced it would make a lot of peoples best games list. I play Chess very casually and don’t like to take it too seriously.
I'm new into the hobby and I like your videos. Can I ask which one of these games (your top 10 or should i say top 20 xD), which one do you think is the most full of details? Thank you
Stone Age sure deserve some love. A quality game. My favourite in the GIPF-series is TZAAR, followed by DVONN. I recommend you to check out Tintas, which recieved a Seal of Excellence by Tom Vasel. Through the Desert, Babylonia and Ra by Reiner Knizia you should check out. Try the Rose King online at yucata. Entertaining 2-player.
Nice! Babylonia has definitely been on my radar to try! We actually have Rose King. That game has a special place in my heart because my brother loved it and we played it together.-Jodi
When I first clicked on this link, I was a bit worried that it would be a list of themeless games (imo). I am happily disappointed that was not the case…..although, I see “Yinsh” made the list. I can tell who is more the “Thinker” and who is the “Themer” in this duo.
I love Dice Placement too. Rajas of the Ganjes is one of my favorites. Seasons is another great one although its a dice selection instead of dice placement.
my taste aligns better with Jodi in general but my top game of all time is also chess lol. Nothing else even comes close. Everdell, Terraforming Mars, Scythe and This War of Mine are my top five. You guys are awesome by the way. :)
It's the first video of you I'm watching and I'm really interested in the channel. I like that there are games in your Top 10 which I haven't even heard of, which is also fun to discover. The photos you take of board games and show in between look very cool too! Nice to see that my favorite game "Viscounts of the West Kingdom" is on the list. As a 2 player game, I really like "Sakura Arms" which I need to get to the table more. Happy gaming!
Hey, i know this is kinda old, but i really liked this top40 and wanted to say thanks! PS i have to say that Jodi should look into gaia Project, seems to be totally up her ally and it is in my eyes one of the best Games ever.
Glad you liked the video! I’ve thought about Gaia Project, but I have played Terra Mystica a long time ago and didn’t like that one. That’s why I’ve been weary of getting Gaia Project. Maybe I need to reconsider.. 😁 Jodi
I agree with Justin on the Queen Bee. Great pieces. I think I may have played this one with Loren. I think my games are more in line with Justin's likes.
I never tried Burgundy or the others in the series, but our top are: 1775: Rebellion (1754 is also great) Atlantic Chase Blitzkrieg!: World War Two in 20 Minutes Blood Rage - Tavern Edition Cyclades Dogs of War Dominant Species: Marine Dwellings of Eldervale (we never played this one, but it seems awesome) Junta Root with The Underworld Expansion (when using our house variants) Summoner Wars Second Edition Tigris & Euphrates (Yellow & Yangtze is a tad less fun) Twilight Struggle (also great in its electronic form) Under Falling Skies Viscounts of the West Kingdom Whistle Mountain
beyond the super amatuer level chess is a dead game. Its about move memorization. Even Bobby Fischer said he hated chess that it was a shallow game. Thats why he invented Fischer-random chess.
Not that I have a problem with Jodi's picks, but it's great for once to see a top 40 list unabashedly full of games that are light or have simple rule sets, but not exactly easy. Who dare says chess is not "heavy"? I really love a wide spectrum from lighter to heavier and have plenty of "family weight" games in my Top 40 as well as some heavier. I think the issue I have with one a lot of heavier games (more so than the lighter side) is the "fun factor". Plenty of games I can play and do well, but did I really have fun?!? Anyway, bravo to you both and I will continue to watch your videos!
I like how differing your tastes are. One list tends to lean to the deeper/heavier longer games, one towards the shorter/lighter or strategy games. Between the two lists a great overall range. Also fun that you push yourselves a bit into the games the other one may not love as much.
@@danielmarlett1421 I see. I mentioned it because it's the closest it can be to 'a boardgamer's chess'. And the skill level on BGA is very high. I find it to work much better digitally.
I was starting to think perhaps Jodi had accidentally missed Everdell. Justin's list explains a lot regarding the one's he's introduced me to on game night. My top ten would probably be: 1. Call to Adventure 2. Gloomhaven 3. Big Book of Madness 4. Moonrakers 5. Scythe 6. Windward 7. Villagers 8. Men at Work 9. Horizon Zero Dawn 10. Hnefatafl (yes, that's how it's spelled)
I’ve just watched the whole series, and really like how funny and passionate you both are! Very good lists, very entertaining with your guesses, explanations and show&tell, and I really appreciate you give your true opinion on games (we don’t love all games, that’s normal and that’s what makes the ones we love even more important) Everdell is definitely on my “have to try” list, I’m just too afraid to go all in if I try it 😂
Thanks for joining us for the whole series and thanks for the feedback! Definitely worth trying Everdell. If you wanted just to get one expansion, we would recommend Spirecrest. Although more expansions are on Kickstarter right now 😆
Hi guys, loved your top 40 list. I have a lot of cross over with Jodi's list. I see Tekhenu behind you. What numver did it fall? Have you tried "Black Angel", "Coimbra", "Nemesis", "Blood Rage", "Smallworld", "Azul", "Quacks of Quedlinburg", "Patchwork", "Watergate" or "Viticulture" ? These are in my top games ☺
I really enjoy Tekhenu but I need some more plays..but haven’t been able to find anyone willing to play it with me 😢. There are several on your list I’ve been really wanting to play such as Black Angel, Coimbra and Watergate! Nice choices! -Jodi
Justin, I've got to ask, have you played Cairn? It's the game the replace Onitama for me; simple ruleset and a touch more complex. While I adore small box games, which I'm grouping Onitama into, I feel that with evenly matched players, we're just moving pieces around not really making progress. With Cairn, not only do you have to worry about what moves you're giving to the other player, you also have to figure out how to make use of, or deny use of, the uniquely powered stones that will populate the board.
I also enjoy a lot of your favorites. We have the Chronicles of Crime 1400 version & it is great! Some of my other favorites are Legends of Andor, Concordia, Inis, Lord of the Rings, Scythe, Roll Player & Dale of Merchants.
Good video and list of games. Curious if you know roughly how many games you’ve played that you chose the 40 games from? I was thinking of getting one of the “West Kingdom” games and liked seeing your ranking of that as well. ~new gamer and new subscriber P.S. I’ve seen the comments about enjoying the show and tell parts. While I enjoyed your passion for quality components, one suggestion I would make is to get a second camera that is zoomed in(if you start a show and tell series). I could hardly tell anything from you holding the pieces in hand, but once the close-up photos came on screen it was much easier to see and appreciate.
Thanks for subscribing! We haven’t kept track of how many games we’ve played overall, but if we had to guess, probably somewhere between 200-300? Since you are a new gamer, Architects of the West Kingdom will have an easier entry point. And in regards to camera angles, it’s in the plan but not in the budget yet 😁.
Stone Age is also sentimental as it was my first wp game. I’m sorry to read about your late brother, Jodi. I’m glad you’re keeping his hobby going. Also, Alien Frontiers is one of my all time favorite games. Have you tried Pulsar 2849? It’s also a great space themed dice draft/placement game.
Thanks so much. Means a lot to mention my brother! Haven’t tried Pulsar 2849 but it’s very high on my list!! I’m certain I’ll love it, but not so much for Justin. -Jodi
@@grog3514 I like the base game just fine, actually. But it does add some goals and added player powers that can amp up the game a bit. I’d definitely pick it up. It’s a great addition. We actually enjoy outer belt even more. Those asteroid cards can be super helpful.

My daughter wants to know where to buy this reddish shirt of yours. Super video, very honest and fun to watch.
Thank you for sharing. It was fascinating to watch you both interact. I am cycling through games which have solo variant. Parks, Horrified, Robinson Crusoe -cursed Island, This war of Mine, etc. Being solo myself I am very conscious of games which are good 'starter' games for people who have little experience of contemporary games. Why not try a you tube on games for a first date. lol Bob -Bristol UK

Ugh... Reavers of Midgard. I don't get the appeal of that one. Need to sell my copy. Everything felt kind of boring and pointless to me. I do really like Champions... though.
making chess your top 1 boardgame is a big mistake for a new boardgame youtube channel,,no one can beat chess bcuz its a classic, and its boring to talk about in a boardgame channel,,it means next year your top 1 will be chess again nothing can beat chess everyone knows the game chess, which means next year the one we will be excited for,is your NO.2 game,,the rest of the games are good tho
Jesus Christ saves from sin. Romans 3: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Hebrews 9: 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Isaiah 64: 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Revelation 21: 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Romans 5: 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14: 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Romans 10: 9-10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Jesus said John 5: 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 1John 5: 10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Ephesians 2: 8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 8: 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5: 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Nice list !
Thanks!
You make fun and great videos
Thank you for sharing. It was fascinating to watch you both interact. I am cycling through games which have solo variant. Parks, Horrified, Robinson Crusoe -cursed Island, This war of Mine, etc. Being solo myself I am very conscious of games which are good 'starter' games for people who have little experience of contemporary games. Why not try a you tube on games for a first date. lol

@@bobnicholls353 Hello from across the Atlantic! Thanks for the suggestion and for tuning in! I just played my first ever solo mode last week! So I might be playing a few here and there 😁-Jodi
Chess is old news. Play Jarl if you want a chess like challenge.
Ugh... Reavers of Midgard. I don't get the appeal of that one. Need to sell my copy. Everything felt kind of boring and pointless to me. I do really like Champions... though.
I’m the opposite. Didn’t like Champions but liked Reavers 😆🤷♀️
@@BoardGamePerspective what?...who?...uh..🦧

Let’s be real, the original Super Mario Bros game is probably the number 1 greatest game of all time.

making chess your top 1 boardgame is a big mistake for a new boardgame youtube channel,,no one can beat chess bcuz its a classic, and its boring to talk about in a boardgame channel,,it means next year your top 1 will be chess again nothing can beat chess everyone knows the game chess, which means next year the one we will be excited for,is your NO.2 game,,the rest of the games are good tho
Jesus Christ saves from sin.
Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Hebrews 9: 27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Isaiah 64: 6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Revelation 21: 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 5: 8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14: 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 10: 9-10.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Jesus said John 5: 24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
1John 5: 10-13
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Ephesians 2: 8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 8: 1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5: 21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
