    When people often think of an abstract board game they imagine games like Checkers or even Chess. Abstract board games have come along way in terms of their visual appeal and approach to incorporating an interesting theme.
    Abstract Board Games are often categorised by their beautiful set pieces, logical decision making as well as their lack of chance. This video aims to showcase some of my top favourite abstract board games that you can use to liven up your board game night or even use to entertain your friends. So lets take the blandness out of our preconceived notion of what a abstract board game is and rev it into high gear and explore some beautiful abstract board games that you will definitely want to revisit time and time again.
    Note: These abstract board games are perfect for two players!
    The Board Game Sanctuary is a family friendly board game channel that aims to introduce the board gaming hobby to new and seasoned players in a light, fun and humourous way.

    I've watched several of your videos now and I love the format and the humor you put in to it!! Super entertaining reviews and I'm really looking forward to try all the new games that I might not have found otherwise!

    Also I noted that you have done reviews/play throughs for two of the ones you mentioned (Azul and Photosynthesis). You should put a link to those at the bottom so viewers can see you thoughts on these games in action!

      Your list is excellent. Smallworld, Alhambra, Five Tribes, 7 Wonders - may not fit into the Abstract Strategy genre, but are e beautiful looking games :)

    Great list! I'm surprised you didn't put Sagrada on the list.

    Paradice (Art version), Ramses, Hunde und Schakale, Siam, Eye, Ido, Icosagame, Doquin, Cathedral, Corintho Axiom and Endpoint, look quite nice, and are good games.

    Great list. Really enjoy your videos. Can you do a "Best Games for 6 Players" list also? Or can you suggest some good games for 6 players (Medium weight games that can be played within 45 mins). We play games like 7 Wonders, Alhambra, Sagrada, Between 2 Cities and Smallworld. Any suggestions for similar level games for 5/6 players will be very helpful. Thanks in advance

    If "Gods love Dinosaurs" is an abstract game, then I want to know which games aren't.

    • @BoardGameSanctuary
      @BoardGameSanctuary  ปีที่แล้ว

      Mice & Mystics, Gloomhaven. Games where the narrative might be the driving force and the mechanisms are more secondary. Sleeping Gods and Lands of Glazyr! :)

      @@BoardGameSanctuary so, it's either an American style game or an abstract game? Every eurostyle game would then be abstract. In which case, your list should include Castles of Burgundy or Puerto Rico, Caylus or Ticket to Ride or even Carcassonne. I mean, those games are worth so much more than "God's love Dino's", and according to your definition they are abstract games.

    Awesome games!! My boy is going to love dinosaurs!! You know religious finatics don’t believe in dinosaurs 🤭🤭 creationists some call themselves 😂😵‍💫🤭 - and my girl is going to love photosynthesis - but I think we’ll put them all on our Xmas wish lists!! You should have affiliate links 🥹👏👏

      Yes I love Gods Love Dinosaurs as interesting as that title sounds! Photosynthesis is cool and abstract. I think your xmas this year is going to be a fun one from the sounds of it! I have been meaning to put affiliate links thanks for that extra bit of encouragement :)
