The reason I subscribe to the Board Game Garden is because the games that you play seem to match what I enjoy. I enjoy the laid back approach and I can see the passion for what you do. Thank you and keep creating. The world needs more Gaming Gardens.
Jenna, this was so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing all your favorite games with us. This channel continues to deliver a calming vibe to the board game world. Here’s my current top 10: 1. Dune Imperium 2. Dwellings of Eldervale 3. Wayfarers of the South Tigris 4. Cascadia 5. Darwin’s Journey 6. Revive 7. Legacy of Yu 8. Expeditions 9. Wyrmspan 10. Raiders of the North Sea
Have really enjoyed this top 100 series in the Garden. Starting my own board game collection and it’s really helped find games that I would really get into! Great job, can’t wait to see more!
Really enjoyed this series! Must have taken a long time to prepare the list, thank you for sharing your most favorite flowers from the garden with us!🥰
I can't believe you have a "top 100" list drawn from your garden.. I have like 7 board games and still haven't played some! Me and my wife are obsessed with gloomhaven. We beat jaws of the lion, now we are on gloomhaven, and can't wait to play frost haven! So excited!!! Thanks for all the effort! I noticed you really like those puzzley, sort of matching games :P
Loving all the boargame rankings and top 100 lists!! Many of my Boardgames collection were based off your recommendations and thank-you, Jenna!! Always a joy and a highlight of my day to watch the Boardgame Garden!!
Great choices for the top 10. I've never played Vindication but I love your other choices, so I need to look into it. I'm subscribed to the garden but didn't see the rest of the top 100 pop up. I started with the best and now I need to go back and watch the rest
I really liked your top 10. Wayfarers is also my favorite Garphill Games game. Viscounts was my introduction to their West Kingdom games and is still my favorite of those, but I love Architects and Paladins too. Vale of Eternity is amazing. I’m not sure how to squeeze garden in but here it is. Keep up the good work and love your dog.
Completely agree on Concordia looks vs game. I purchased stickers for the meeples on Etsy and metal coins before introducing it to friends and that helped. Would be thrilled if it got a newer edition with a deluxe version some day.
Hi Jenna, your list just reinforces why I love the Garden. Our tastes align so much. We own and enjoy most of your top 10! Plus, your presentation is welcoming, relaxing and informative. Best of luck at WSBG!!
I've played 8 of your top 10 and I agree that they are all amazing games. The Missing Expedition is soooooo good, it really changes how the game feels and is extremely innovative in it's use of what the game has already to create a story and really fun too! Love the garden that you have here! (Dove, not doven or dived)
One of the first videos I saw from your channel was The Castles of Burgundy Special Edition unboxing and sorting. I shorty there after bought the 20th anniversary and have thoroughly enjoyed this game. I actually purchased the Special Edition this last go around that Gamefound did and am so excited to get it later this year. Love the channel and I’m looking forward to many more wonderful videos. Especially more live solo games
thanks for your lists! our taste on gaming wildly differ as you love low player interaction while i love high conflict and direct interaction games, but i still enjoy watching your videos as you enlight me with a different view on games that i don't like and i get relaxed just by listening to your thoughts, calm enthusiasm and love for games. You are like board game asmr lol, thanks again for your videos
Thanks for these countdown videos Jenna, they've been so enjoyable. In this ultimate 10 to 1 vid you've listed plenty of great games that are highly placed on my wishlist, and one that's proudly in my collection - and thoroughly deserves your top 10 ranking. Spoiler alert: it's Paladins of the West Kingdom. Thanks for the wholesome Garden content both here on TH-cam and on Discord too. Please keep it coming
What a great top ten! I love my CoB Special Edition game. When I can't play CoB in person, I'm battling with my friends on BGA. Thanks for all of your awesome garden content!
A great mix of games new and old! Thanks for sharing! Happy to see Concordia and Castles there! Also, it was amazing hanging out at Gen Con! Hope it won't be too long until we see you again!
Been starting to get into the hobby so I really like seeing all of these top lists and jotting down the ones that consistently make it on there. The Board Game Garden along with some others have been go to content creators.
Just finished binging your Top 100 videos from this year and I love how unique some of your choices are compared to other top lists that I've seen! Especially with some of the smaller box games you showcased. Wish I could find my own garden community of sorts in NY to play more board games more frequently, but I shall continue to live vicariously through your channel (and others) haha
Happy to learn that I have 6 of your top 10 in my collection! (especially since I just started getting into the hobby in January of this year) Got Cascadia, 7 Wonders, Paladins, Wayfarers, Castles, and Concordia and I agree; they're excellent \m/
Lovely Garden ! I'm also attracted to aesthetic games and these are lovely recommendations. We are new into the "hobby" and have a small but growing board game garden. These videos make it easer to organize a wishlist.
I'm so glad to see Tapestry and Wayfarers make it so highly on your list! I haven't had the chance to open them yet but this gives me hope that they were good buys.
Your videos are always calming and pleasant and so fun to watch! I think Penny should be included in every Board Game Garden video intro. She's a great addition and seems to help keep the table clean!
I've had my eye on The Vale of Eternity for my own garden of games, but now I'm definitely even more looking forward to trying it out. It was a great journey through your top 100.
I love the ways you tend to the GARDEN of this community by providing a little bit of everything for people to explore and see what games might fit for them. ❤
Wow, you did a great job explaining each game in a way that drew me in and got me excited to play or purchase. It seems we share similar interests in games. This was my first foray into the garden world, but won't be my last! Thanks.
I've only recently discovered the board game garden but I really love how calming and informative your videos are. Perfect for drinking tea and relaxing to!
I am fairly new to the GARDEN. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! Thanks for your great reviews. Can't wait to try some of your favorites!
So many great games in your top 100. Been great following along. Never even heard of The Vale of Eternity but now I really want to try it and add it to my own board game garden.
I am so glad 7 Wonders is on the Boardgame Garden list!!!! It is one of my all time favorite games and sad that it does not hit many people’s lists anymore. Also I have it sleeved as well!
Watched all the vids in the series and everything in between to get to this top 10! Finally get to see what Jenna has put together. Great content as always. Variability of Cascadia does push it high for me too, very family friendly, fun puzzle. Happy to see Concordia as #2. I own it, have all the expansions except the solitaire one. But I haven’t played it! I loved Mac Gertz’s Imperial. It’s a top 10 for me. Holding off til my kids get older. Love Feld. Awesome #1. But I lean a bit more toward Macao as my fav of his. Awesome series, Jenna. Thank you
Nice video. Always enjoy these lists. You're so pleasant to watch but now I have to do research on some of these games. Love a game with a solo mode. Don't have a Top 10 yet, I'll just throw some out there. Star Wars Rebellion, Furnace, Talisman, X-Wing miniatures, Dune Imperium, Forbidden Desert, Azul, Dixit and probably Scythe to round it out in no particular order.
Thanks for sharing your top 100, love seeing new titles to check out. I may or may not have an obsession with Anachrony, would like to see more of your take on it in the garden.
Very interesting top 100! And as always, Penny steals the show. If I ever made one myself, we would for sure have many games in common. I also really need to try some of the ones I am missing, like Castles of Burgundy, Dune imperium, The search for planet X, among others.. Appreciate the international giveaway as well (garden).
Thank you Jenna for making amazing content! It was a pleasure hearing your thoughts on your top 100! It was a pleasure meeting you earlier in July, keep up the amazing work you do for the Garden!
Just discovered your channel recently and have really been enjoying the videos! The Board Game Garden is also one of my top channels for the hobby! Also, great job with the Top 100, you've inspired some of my recent purchases and glad to see Cascadia in your Top 10 as I just purchased that as well and agree this is an amazing game.
Garden ! Thank you Jenna for doing this top 100. I did a marathon of your top 100 playlist, and as someone who has just started playing boardgames, these were gold! while I was already thinking of Stardew and Eila next, it was really very nice to discover Above and Below and Mythwind from your videos (plus some 15 more games I'm copying from your top 100. 😅 )
Thanks for this series of your top 100! The Vale of Eternity looks so interesting, and I’d love to add it to my own board game garden 😊 Thanks to Renegade Games as well!
We have a match on six of the top 10 games. And I haven't played the other four yet (Paladins, Wayfarers, Vindication and unfortunately Concordia). Thank you so much for the 10 entertaining episodes. I wish we could have met last year when we were in Buffalo - it would have been fun to play a round Castles of Burgundy (Canada vs. Germany). Will you visit the Spiel-Fair in Essen? Fun info: Your mention of Railroad Ink prompted a test. We immediately got the Deluxe Edition on the second-hand market.
This was a journey!! Such great taste in games. Really love your top 10 and hope to play some Garphill games myself one day soon. Need to try your #2 as well, such high praise from Jenna means it's gotta be good.
When you said a trio of games I immediately thought the West Kingdom series and then you said Paladins and I screamed because it is my favorite game of the entire series, for the exact same reason. I have to try out Lost Ruins of Arnak because I looooove trying to do as much as possible every turn.
So excited for this giveaway. The garden is one of the places that really grew my love for Board Games. I have loved watching your videos all the way from India. Has inspired to start my own thing here.
I watched this while running on the threadmill and it kept me motivated to resist until to the very end :D now its time to rest and look up your games on bgg, very intrigued about Castles of Burgundy
I understand how Castles of Burgundy is your top 1. I love the anniversary edition and it must be in my top 20 games. It made me fall in love with Feld's games. Garden ;)
I am so glad you mentioned nocturne. My copy was sent to me a week after I left for the summer and haven’t been able to play it yet. I would love to see a play through of it. Also interested in how it plays in solo mode.
What an incredible top 100 list Jenna, I’m so happy to be part of the garden and have loved seeing your channel flourish! Keep up the incredible work!!😁
Your commitment to giving all 100 games here such a spotlight is admirable. Glad to support this channel and see this garden blossom.
The reason I subscribe to the Board Game Garden is because the games that you play seem to match what I enjoy. I enjoy the laid back approach and I can see the passion for what you do. Thank you and keep creating. The world needs more Gaming Gardens.
Board Game Garden is like comfort food for the boardgamer. Keep it up!

Board Game Garden is one of my favourite board game channels - thanks for making these videos!
I love to be part of the garden. :) These videos are by far the most comfy in the boardgame scene and I really enjoy watching!
Keep up the good work!
So awesome to see your top lists! I love seeing where I overlap with folks. Cheers and thanks for welcoming us all to the garden :)
Excellent list Jenna. I now have many of those games on my own list, thanks to the reviews that you give. Board Game Garden is a great channel.
Really enjoyed this series! Must have taken a long time to prepare the list, thank you for sharing your most favorite flowers from the garden with us!🥰
I can't believe you have a "top 100" list drawn from your garden.. I have like 7 board games and still haven't played some! Me and my wife are obsessed with gloomhaven.

Loving all the boargame rankings and top 100 lists!! Many of my Boardgames collection were based off your recommendations and thank-you, Jenna!! Always a joy and a highlight of my day to watch the Boardgame Garden!!

Plus, your presentation is welcoming, relaxing and informative.
Best of luck at WSBG!!
I've played 8 of your top 10 and I agree that they are all amazing games. The Missing Expedition is soooooo good, it really changes how the game feels and is extremely innovative in it's use of what the game has already to create a story and really fun too! Love the garden that you have here! (Dove, not doven or dived)

Love that you feature so many lovely garden themed games in your top 100. they are all great games with lovely art.
What a great top ten! I love my CoB Special Edition game. When I can't play CoB in person, I'm battling with my friends on BGA. Thanks for all of your awesome garden content!
Your analysis of games was very well done. Your GARDEN of games is well cultivated and you provide nice and concise reviews of them. Thanks!
A great mix of games new and old! Thanks for sharing!
Happy to see Concordia and Castles there!

Lovely Garden ! I'm also attracted to aesthetic games and these are lovely recommendations. We are new into the "hobby" and have a small but growing board game garden. These videos make it easer to organize a wishlist.
My kids and I love watching the Board Game Garden! These videos have pointed us to some new games!
I just found The Board Game Garden last month but it's already one of my favorite bg channels on youtube! Thanks for the great content!
Glad to support this channel and see this garden blossom. Missed you at GenCon this year. I watched for you but never saw you.
Board Game Garden is a pleasant change of pace in board game videos landscape. Keep up the good work!
You have created such a nice community with the board game garden. I love your videos and sometimes watch them multiple times. Keep up the good work!
Glad to see so many games I love on this list. Keep up the great board game garden production!

Hoping to see you play Verdant in the Board Game Garden. Love playing that game.
I've only recently discovered the board game garden but I really love how calming and informative your videos are. Perfect for drinking tea and relaxing to!

Awesome series, Jenna. Thank you

Hi Jenna. I love visiting your garden and “chatting about board games”. It is so cozy and relaxing here. Thank you!
Very interesting top 100! And as always, Penny steals the show. If I ever made one myself, we would for sure have many games in common.

Congrats on how big the garden is getting!!! So excited to hear how you enjoyed Gencon ♡

The garden is always such a chill channel, I love it
I like the way you talk about games, with passion!
Will you do one day a list of games that you were anxiously waiting for and that disappointed you??
I watched this while running on the threadmill and it kept me motivated to resist until to the very end :D now its time to rest and look up your games on bgg, very intrigued about Castles of Burgundy
Such a great list Jenna, this was so good to watch through! Hope the garden is enjoying its time at Gen Con!
Garden! Fantastic work compiling this list! Love your videos!
I'm so glad I found the Board Game Garden a few weeks ago!!! Your videos are so much fun to watch ❤
Got through it all! so much work I’m sure but I enjoyed seeing where everything landed. Best of luck at WSBG will be cheering for the garden :)
I understand how Castles of Burgundy is your top 1. I love the anniversary edition and it must be in my top 20 games. It made me fall in love with Feld's games. Garden ;)

Garden love always!!! & love to see Castles of Burgundy being #1. It is also an absolute favourite of mine.
Absolutely loving this top 100 - what a beautiful garden of games 🩷
Thank you for this series! Learned about so many board games and have put several on my garden list to play one day! Your explanations are great! ❤
The Vale of eternity is amazing. I loved to play with you and Adam that day. I would love to add the game to my garden. Great list!
