    Jamie has my favourite personality of any board gamer on TH-cam. So funny. And I can relate to Jeff 😂

    Also the paper in a bowl game is called “Fish Bowl”. Whoever taught you might not have known the name. That or they had a “he who will not be named” thing going on😂

    Great listing! ❤ I'm guessing Azul probably needs to be on this list (especially with multiple versions).

    There's a game that myself and a group of friends and family members have been playing for over 40 years. It is Avoln Hill Rail Baron. Now, we do have several house rules.

    Too Many Bones. Quacks Of Quedlinburg, Dice Throne are three more games that I think will never die. Cheers 🍻

    I just recently bought and played my first game ever of Ticket to Ride. We got the OG version, and I honestly don't know how it took me this long to play it. Super fun. Now I just have to get my new deluxe Castles of Burgundy to the table and play that game for the first time. 😳

    I splurged on the special edition of CoB...and I've never regretted it. Usually for a box that big, people go, whoa, that game must take like 12 hours to play. Nope, it's just a beautiful, elegant, design deluxified to the hilt. It's the only kickstarter I own my wife will actually play with me :). Wingspan, nuff said.

    If you have ever seen Supernatural, then you would know that to kill vampires you cut off their heads and the way to kill ghosts is salt and burn their bones.

    Love Twilight Struggle, die Burgen and Monikers! I think the game of Go will be played millenia from now... For something closer to home I would say Race for the Galaxy. I can see Scotland Yard following the Monikers route of being reinvented every decade or so: Letters from Whitechapel in 2011--> Mind MGMT in 2021...

    For me I cant see mythic mischief, or root ever going away. I don't think too many bones will but I'm curious if elder scrolls will take its place since they seem similar. Honestly almost anything from leder, iv, or chip theory has a good chance of always being something I'm eager to play at any given time.

  • @BlueTorchWeddings
    @BlueTorchWeddings ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm gonna probably get dumped on, but Monopoly will never die. I will probably never play it again, but almost everyone has interacted with it. Catan is also very ubiquitous in the community.

    • @FostertheMeeple

      Yea for sure!! Both fall into the “obvious” category we were avoiding here.

  • @youvelookedbetter

    I would say Codenames and Just One. Codenames has many iterations.

  • @williamfaughnan6298
    @williamfaughnan6298 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree with Jeff that castles might be perfect mechanically. It's a fantastic game and, honestly, the only downside is learning the yellow building powers/interpreting the iconography on the player aids. Outside of that, in my opinion, learning to play the game isn't that complex and it works soooooo well!! Also, I've just recently started playing the Wingspan app and it really is a fantastic game!! It didn't appeal to me, thematically, at all, but once I gave it a chance I realized the hype is legit. Excellent game!!

    My collection of games has some lesser talked about games that apparently will never die for me - I’ve had them for 10 to 20 years. and they’re still getting played:
    - Cleopatra and the Society of Architects - 2006
    - Yspahan - 2006
    - Helden in der Unterwelt - 2005
    - Era of Inventions - 2010
    - Last Will - 2011
    among others

    When it comes to pandemic, season 1 is like playing 12 games of normal pandemic with some add one. If you don’t like pandemic, don’t play season 1. Season 0 shakes things up big time and Star Wars is like a completely different game and is a lot of fun if you know the clone wars show and even if you don’t.

    I'd put Scythe on this list! Love that thing. Everdell doesn't click with my wife, but I have a certain appreciation for it. We do love Castles of Burgundy Deluxe and we'll be playing it forever. I have Root but it's a bit intimidating, although the app is helpful. My only problem with Undaunted is which set to buy?! Thanks for the great content! You guys are rockstars!

    • @FostertheMeeple

    One that will never die for me and will probably live forever as a niche game is the 18XX series. It seems once you get into those you play them forever! It's just not everyone's cup of tea.
