Great top 10!

My favourite board game experiences: Gloomhaven, Pandemic Legacy: Season 1, and Clank! Legacy: Acquisitions Incorporated.

Besides those Legacy games, my top picks for 2 players would be either War of the Ring: Second Edition or Mr. Jack in New York.

Favourites with 4 are The Boss, Clash of Cultures and 878 Vikings: Invasions of England.

For 5, Chaos in the Old World with Chaos in the Old World: The Horned Rat Expansion.

For 6+, No Limit Texas Hold 'Em and word-based party games like Beyond Balderdash.

Really enjoyed this! Great choices and some very new games on the top 10! That's what's so exciting about this hobby... you never know when a new favourite is going to hit the table 👀 Lots of love to you both ❤

Johannes: "Thank you board games for giving me the final punchline: Orleans stories" XD
Nice top100 from both! I still think that Feast for Odin is waaay too high, but I am glad to see Kanban so close to the top. It was a lot of fun listening to you talking about your choices and all the crossover dances. Thanks for this

As a personal top10:
1) Kanban: Driver's Edition
2) ZhanGuo
3) Race for the Galaxy
4) Vinhos (I urgently need to play it again, I am not sure where it holds right now)
5) Aquatica
6) The Gallerist
7) Hero Realms
8) Underwater Cities
9) Blackout: Hong Kong
10) Trains

Was shipyard somewhere in this top 100. I feel like it is usually there near the top and was expecting it.

Awesome list guys ! A lot of crossovers with your list, my top 10:
10. Feast for Odin
9. Gaia Project (haven’t played Age of Innovation yet)
8. Gloomhaven (haven’t played Frosthaven yet)
7. Ark Nova
6. Castles of Ludwig Deluxe
5. Pandemic legacy
4. Clank legacy
3. Nations
2. Terraforming Mars
1. Castles of Burgundy !

"Kiss-ass-trophy" is the greatest version of "catastrophe" ever invented. I expect to use this newly coined term frequently :D

Thank You and keep the good work. I will take two names : Lacerda and Frosthaven, definitely in my top 3 (three).

You are one of 2 board game channels that I don't understand why you don't have 50k subscribers. Congrats on another Top 100!

Hello, thank you for this updated 2024 top 100! Given the style of games you like, have you already tried the Splotter ones like Food Chain Magnate, Indonesia, ... ? Look forward to your review 😊

Yay a new number 1 from Sunniva! And a good one too (love it!)
Johannes, I knew your #1 wouldn't change, it's like me and Scythe, i could almost have it tatooed it's so there to stay 😅
I can't say "great list" because I've only played half of the games on that list, but the ones i played were great that's for sure. My top 10 would include Terraforming Mars, Revive, Concordia, castle of burgundy special edition (so special ❤), Azul, Hansa Teutonica, anno 1800, inis, underwater cities and of course Scythe (duh). Orleans and The Crew just exited my top 10 to let Revive and castle of burgundy in.
From your list, the one I would most want to try is Federation.

I love both your silliness! I reminds me that board gaming is about fun! Thanks!

Love this channel.

OK, I'll bite. My top 10:
1. Ark Nova
2. Wingspan
3. Terraforming Mars
4. It's a Wonderful World
5. The Castles of Burgundy
6. Gaia Project
7. Underwater Cities
8. Meadow
9. Viticulture
10. Great Western Trail

Dear ones, what a pleasure to follow you in your top 100. I love your enthusiasm, it's contagious =) thank you, love you, follow you on my favorite channel (although I'm not so proficient in the English language) Our hobby also makes me happy. Here are my top 4 in my language ;) Die Burgen von Burgund; Flügelschlag; Obession und die Architekten des Westfrankreichs
Best regards from Switzerland

Just loved the progression of Cinema's reaction to JJ's neverending Frosthaven 101. "Yeah, that is indeed how that game plays", "What in the hell is the funny man talking about now", "Can you believe this, audience", "haha, he's still going on", "wow phew, we did it" :D

Agree... The new edition of CoB made it my nr 1 of all time too 😊

Go on then, since you asked 😉 My current top 10:

10. Nusfjord
9. Cuzco (slightly superior to Bora Bora!)
8. Marrakesh
7. Hallertau
6. Federation
5. Paladins of the West Kingdom
4. Great Western Trail (OG but NZ is pushing it pretty hard!)
3. Barrage
2. Brass: Birmingham
1. Terraforming Mars (the only game I've played over 100 times!)

What a fantastic list! I'm teaching a couple friends federation soon and I hope I do it justice.

Feast is in my top 5, with Frosthaven, Mage Knight, and through the Ages!

Evac is 🎉🎉🎉

Just played Crisis on your rec - great game!

Great video and great series; I enjoyed it and all of your thoughts. (Castles of Burgundy - I usually have a game of that going of yucata).

really loved your video and your love of games - thank you for sharing

Fantastic list! I think of all the content producers out there I have the most in common with you guys. Our crossovers would be well above 60. Here is my top 10 list.

2 Barrage
3 Lisboa
4 Clans of Caledonia
5 Underwater Cities
6 Anachrony: Infinity Box (with Fractures of Time)
7 War of the Ring: Second Edition

You guys are great! Thank you for doing what you do!

Vic here - gaming veteran from Canada (started with Avalon Hill games in the 70s). Here is my current list of top-twenty all-time favourite games, not counting Vital Lacerda’s games, which are in a class by themselves and just don’t get played near as often as I would like and they deserve. I am waiting to play Inventions for the first time, but otherwise my current top-six Lacerda games (all of which I adore) are:

Lisboa
On Mars
Kanban EV
Vinhos
The Gallerist
Weather Machine

Before I list my top twenty, I need to mention that of course there are many great games I haven’t played yet and that this list doesn’t include my all-time favourite game experiences (because they are one-off for me). Those cooperative experiences would include the Pandemic Legacy games (especially Season 1) as well as Sleeping Gods and Forgotten Waters. Here’s my top twenty today:

Die Macher
Age of Innovation
Federation
Revive
Gaia Project
Concordia
Terraforming Mars
A Feast for Odin
Le Havre
Marrakesh
Nucleum
Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory
The Castles of Burgundy
Teotihuacan: City of Gods
Ultimate Railroads
The LOOP
Praga Caput Regni
Rajas of the Ganges
Newton
Ora et Labora

My no 1 is also Feast for Odin!! I dont know how to explain it, it is just sooo fulfilling!! Great set of videos guys, thank you so much!! You are great ❤

Thanks for suggesting the Feast for Odin expansion. I would have never considered picking it up otherwise.

Gaia Project is still superior to Age of Innovation

#1 games were the best euros in existence for many gamers.

I would say:
10. Federation
9. Pax pamir
8. Castle of Burgundy
7. El grande
6. Lisboa
5. FCM
4. Barrage
3. Dune imperium
2. Ark nova
1. Brass

This was lovely and fun to watch, thank you! You guys have such an uplifting energy. You also have great taste in games, and you explain extremely well what you like, don’t like, and why. Well done, and congratulations! BTW my favourite game is Dominant Species. It’s old and it’s mean, but boy is it a good time. It’s one of those “event games” that I only play once or twice a year, but always love it. Cheers!

Great top 10... I knew Lacerda would rule this part of the list. Except for Frosthaven every game in your top 10's could be in mine, but Anachrony, Obsession and Ark Nova are missing for me.

Loved watching your list and love watching you.

Watching you makes me happy ❤ like this 😊

5. Feast for Oden
4. Concordia
3. Gaia Project
2. Voidfall
1. Brass Birmingham

Great series folks. Loved every video detailing your top 100 games.

In Japanese, the letter A is always pronounced "ah," So both syllables would rhyme with yawn or Don. 🙂

You summed up how many of us feel about the hobby. Well said! To answer your question, my number one is (and likely always will be) Dominion. Dominion does for me what Lisboa and others do for you. Keep doing what you do, I will keep coming back to watch.

The old vinhos i agree is better!! The fair is also more interesting

my favorite gameis Ark Nova

I like you guys, wonder what you are feeling against music. if you do, react to `the Warning🤘🤘🤘

Lovely impassioned speech near the end there. 👌🏻

Oh em gee… it is time for the top 10! And for me to watch 3x. Loved the entire series. Yay!

Fe. De. Ra. Tion!!! Perfection
