#boardgames #top10
How could you do my boy Odin dirty like that?
The next 10:
20. Maracaibo
19. Five Tribes
18. My Father's Work
17. Boonlake
16. Clank! Legacy
15. Cthulhu Wars
14. Scythe
13. Great Western Trail: New Zealand (Sorta true crossover!)
12. Underwater Cities
11. Earth
20. Cascadia
19. Everdell
18. My City
17. Art Robbery
16. High Society
15. Battle Line
14. RUN
13. Sky Team
12. 20 Strong
11. Galactic Cruise
Do the brothers like Alchemists?
Mike’s 12: the world no longer makes sense. Up is down, left is right, black is white.
The only games I've played the physical copy of are Suburbia and Arnak. I've played both Tzolk'in and Feast for Odin on BGA. All of those are great games. I own The Crew, but haven't played it yet. My 20 to 11:
20 – Scythe
19 – Le Havre
18 – Mama Mia/Sole Mia
17 – King of Tokyo (Dark Edition)
16 – Roll for the Galaxy
15 – Project Elite
14 – Settlers of Catan Card Game
13 – Memior 44
12 – Dinosaur World
11 – Starship Catan
Some more great ones here! I want to get Grand Austria Hotel so badly but I'm waiting to find the expansion available so that I can play it solo (which is how I'll get the most value out of it). Also interested in Great Western Trail: New Zealand and Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux based on your descriptions and enthusiasm.
20. Ark Nova
19. The Great Wall
18. Twilight Imperium: 4th Edition
17. Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
16. Obsession
15. Parks
14. Nucleum
13. The Reckoners
12. The White Castle
11. Weather Machine
many of these are well known games, instead of going through what the game is about, it would be more interesting to hear what drives the big drop/rise compared with your previous year rankings
My jaw dropped when Mike revealed where Feast For Odin is now on his list. 😂 Great list gents. Here are my 20 to 11:
20 – Return to Dark Tower
19 – Gloomhaven
18 – Agemonia
17 – Lost Ruins of Arnak
16 – Viscounts of the West Kingdom
15 – Knarr
14 – Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion
13 – Raiders of the North Sea
12 – Too Many Bones
11 – Star Wars: Imperial Assault
I would absolutely love to see a 2p playthrough of Grand Austria Hotel from yall
Nice to see you two still appreciating Grand Austria Hotel. I feel sorry for those people who play it once and have one of those occasional suffer games and then never play it again. My partner and I, who have played it dozens of times and know the flow of it, even had one of those recently when an extreme few ones and twos were rolled over the course of the game. Wasn't fun, we didn't even do end scoring, just packed it up. At least it sucked for both of us. You definitely don't want to be the one person having a suffer game while the other thrives. That hurts.
Also cool to see Lisboa so high. What's so lovely about Lacerda's games is that although learning them is tough, the gameplay is so elegant and smooth. We're still waiting for the right time to learn and play The Gallerist, because we know it will be fun, we just need extra time and energy to get through the painful learning process.
i am suing google for alowing deepfake on this feast of a parody !!!!! the channel has been kidnapped by deepfake aliens!!!!
Is wonderful world similar to century? If so, which one would you recommend more? Thanks !
Anachrony probably would have been in my top 20 too, but I've only played on BGA so I didn't rank it lol. Great game.
20 The Taverns of Tiefenthal
19 Ascension: Dawn of Champions
18 Patchwork
17 Lost Ruins of Arnak (one spot off of Nick!)
16 The Isle of Cats
15 Just One
14 Space Base
13 Wavelength
12 Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails
11 Pax Pamir: Second Edition
Also, have AFFO ranked higher than Mike 🤯
Glad to see Suburbia get some love.
Nick is cult of the new! I love it!

A feast for odin is one i really need to pickup, I've only played nusfjord and i hear the praise for odin and need to add it in.
Guess I’ll have to cancel my preorder for AFFO now… such a shame 🥲
Feast drops out of Mike’s top 10? The real big shocker is when he reveals his top 10 as 10 different versions of Monopoly.
I adore so much that King of 12 has made this list, I'm starting to evangelize it too!
The cut from pulling the phone off the mug killed me loll
You guys are awesome!

Some good picks here, I played GWT: New Zealand for the first time yesterday, the sheering thing took me half the game to get my head around, but once it clicked about needing the extra Harry (Shearer) it was great!
20 – Cribbage (Up 23)
19 – World Wonders (Down 11)
18 – First Rat (Down 9)
17 – Trekking Through History (Up 1)
16 – Mansions of Madness 2nd Ed – (Down 6)

13 – Critter Kitchen (Down 2)
12 – Just One (Down 6)
11 – Mille Fiori (Up 6)
Love your picks, love these lists!
My 20-11:
20 Architects of the West Kingdom
19 Lost Ruins of Arnak
18 Jaws
17 Galaxy Trucker
16 Hadrian's Wall
15 Star Wars: Rebellion
14 Nemesis
13 Fleet: The Dice Game (Second Edition)
12 Sleeping Gods
11 Furnace
Just got a Feast for Odin on your reccomendation last week and played it over the weekend. Great game, I have to know what has supplanted it for you now!
Great picks. Tough to rank them as they are all good.
I want to try King of 12, Anachrony, and Paint the Roses.
I gave SkyTeam as a gift as I keep hearing good things about it.
Boon Lake has my curiosity now.
Arnak is sitting on my table right now for another game of solo play.
Jeez all worker placement or euros… where are all the non euro gamers??
Ok honestly AFFO dropping out of Mikes top 10 after being #1 for so long literally blew my mind hahaha
Also, I really hope you guys get a chance to play the Lets Waltz expansion someday. The asymmetric player powers and the ballroom expansion are one of those “I’ll never go back” additions. Plus the solo absolutely rules too. One day!
I just received king of 12 from Lucky Duck's Memorial day sale… You guys are the only reason it was even on my radar. Excited to give it a try!
King of 12, had it for a few months and just go let it to the table with my fam a week ago (4 players). Fun game I can see that it would get better and better the more you play with a group.
I really want to play the other Great Westerns Trail (internal plural). My top 100 continued:
20. Marvel Champions The Card Game
19. Imperial Settlers Empires of the North
18. Ark Nova
17. Carnegie
16. Cthulhu Death May Die
15. The Quest for El Dorado
14. The Crew
13. Pandemic
12. Memoir '44
11. Res Arcana
My prediction for Mikes top 10:
1. Kanban EV
2. Ginkopolis
3. Clans of Caledonia
4. Le Havre
5. Wayfarers
6. Teotihuacan
7. Tawantinsuyn
8. Oranianburger Kanal
9. Darwins Journey
10. Forest Shuffle
Nick's I need to think about a but more 😄
My number 14 needs the caveat that it doesn't technically exist yet. I've helped playtest the prototype a ton though and I really like it.
20. So Clover!
19. Lost Cities
18. Tiny Epic Pirates
17. Downforce
16. Ticket to Ride (series, France is my favorite)
15. Celestia
14. Helionox: Chronicles
13. Century: Eastern Wonders
12. Star Realms
11. Automobiles
11 Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small
12 Sea Salt & Paper
13 Cyberion
14 Stellarion
15 Jump Drive
16 Caverna: Cave vs Cave
17 Tapestry
18 Terraforming Mars
19 Gaia Project
20 Point Salad
This suffers from recency bias a bit. I don't think Cyberion or Stellarion will hold those positions, but the others are pretty solid in their place.
Turing Machine didn't have a place on my shelves for a while, because it lived on the coffee table for easy "turdle" access 😂
