Welcome to The Board Game Garden! My name is Jenna Rose, nice to meet you!
This channel is all about board games! Lists, reviews, game chats, organization & so much more! Anything board game related really. This hobby makes me so incredibly happy and I hope to share that joy and love with you through this channel!

According to Ruel Gaviola, Faraway does have a fan-made solo mode. Ive played Coffee Traders, and i think you would enjoy it. It does have some meat on the bones.
So glad for another installment in the series. 1) Great sweatshirt! 2) See you at Gen Con? I stupidly waited too long to come say hey last year. 3) I need to play Harmonies.
Haven't tried it yet, but have heard good things about a solo variant for The White Castle that was posted on BGG. Also, Expeditions is fun solo (IMHO).
At 1 hour 15 you said you can't use your discard pile again. You can - that's the point as this is a sort of deck builder. You have maximum 8 cards with 5 max in hand. When your draw pile tuns out, you shuffle your discard pile to cycle through them again and draw from them.
At 46 minutes Aidan could have taken the purple publish action to place a disc because if you don't have a disc already on the board to place it on top of, you can just remove it from the game
Even though you have 8 partner cards, there is a hand limit of 5 cards which you should discard down to. Aidan had all of his cards pretty much in hand for the early part of the game.
Hair, coffee and boardgames, it's cool and refreshing 😀 The only game I've played here is Faraway which is fun and original. Kinfire Delve seems a lot of fun too but no french edition still... I would love to play Final Girl, but there's so many comments like yours saying it's frustrating some times (and as an Arkham Horror lcg player, I know what frustration really can be) Thank you and keep it that way 😉
I do like list episodes, but I prefer when they are thematic, like top space themed games, or top games for travel. I personally find top one hundred to feel like a long list of games.
Would have loved to hear you review after playing, but getting an overview of additions should tell most people with the base game what to expect. Indeed, it's these smaller animals like reptiles, amphibians and smaller mammals that make up most zoo collections, because they are absolutely cheaper to house and look after compared to the charismatic megafauna. You had questions about Xenarthra which is interesting they created a separate category for. The name for this order of mammals means ´weird joint´ and the group contains animals found exclusively in the Americas that used to be much more diverse until the end of the Pleistocene (Ice Age era): today it's armadillos, anteaters and sloths and extinct members are giant ground sloths and giant armadillos for example.
You look great Jenna. Are you having even more fun playing board games now that you’re blonde? BGG has a great Faraway solo variant. Ruel Gaviola has a play through video. I have only won once but as you mentioned in your review the puzzleiness of it all is so much fun! Looking forward to your next video.
I have played so much Zoo Tycoon as a kid, I absolutely loved that game. I had heard of the board game but did not watch any videos about it yet. The expansion instantly got me hooked. I am a simple person. I see Komodo Dragons, I want it. And there are so many cool animals other than that! And after watching the video on the base game the mechanisms seem interesting to me as well. Both, base game and expansion, are now on my wishlist. Thanks for the video!😊
Jenna this new look, lovely! I cannot wait to try Wok & Roll and Coffee Roaster. Faraway really doesn’t do it for me, it’s almost too brain burny for my taste lol but I love Calico so idk. Maybe you could teach me on BGA real-time one day soon :) EDIT: SAGRADA <3 if you have the app on mobile we should play turn-based 91 Wavelength 92 Balderdash 93 Evolution: Climate 94 High Society 95 Ready Set Bet 96 Deep Dive 97 Hues and Cues 98 Food Chain Island 99 Codenames: Duet 100 Carcassonne
Hi Jenna! I found a way to display button shy games with a random garbage picking find (I think someone said it was part of a dog gate). I can’t post a picture here, but if you want to see what it looks like I’m happy to share a pic in another way. Thanks for the video!
That's so cool about the upcoming Sagrada Collection. After witnessing how cool and friendly Daryl is, im 💯 buying a copy of Sagrada. And will probably buy that expansion too. Exciting!
Woohoo. Hair looking fabulous. I've only played Barenpark and Sagrada from this list, both of which I think are amazing games. Wok & Roll and Faraway both look really interesting to me.
this was such a cool list! I already love some of these games, and some other ones I definitely need to try, I'm excited for the next 90 games on this list! that new hair suits you very well by the way!
What happened to your other YT (jennarosebeasley) channel? I loved that channel and I am honestly not a board game person, so I just miss seeing your other content.
Honestly, I've dealt with a lot of burn out filming lifestyle vlogs, I do miss it though! I don't want to force myself to do it and cause even more burn out. I'm hoping to start again in the future but giving myself time to get rid of this burn out completely and only coming back to it when I truly want to and feel motivated to. Plus ever since starting The Board Game Garden, it has been taking up a lot of my time.
I recently played Skyrise and immediately picked up at my local board game store. They kickstarted it, so I was able to get the deluxe copy. That game is really good!

coffee traders was a really nice experience. But we've only played it once as a 3 player game and I suspect that it will be much better with 4 or 5 people :)
My Top-100: 100. Skymines 99. Łąka 98. Dobry Rok 97. Res Arcana 96. Smartphone Inc. 95. Niezbadana Planeta 94. Eleven 93. Kaskadia 92. Jekyll i Hyde 91. Kakao 😉
Go Team Jenna!!! I have Faraway, Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition, Sagrada, Twilight Inscription, and Kinfire Delve. I really enjoy Faraway alot right now and even played it by myself once to show it off to people though it doesn't have a solo.
You look positively radiant :D The colour suits you very well! Nothing like the occasional image change to recharge batteries ^^ Sagrada plays so well at 6 and it occasionally slips in if everyone is too tired to do anything more complex :P Ares Expedition sadly fell through in my play group - we still prefer original Terraforming Mars with speed start houserules, no draft + Prelude + Venus + Colonies preferably at 3 or 4 players. TM is one of our comfort games. ^^ We only played the base game of Ares a few times and figured it just takes us about the same time while feeling more restrictive/confined and less satisfying. Have not played anything else from this part of the list and am looking forward to what the next one holds :D
Thank you so much! 😊 Yeah Sagrada is wonderful. It's definitely a comfort game for me as well. Such a great puzzle. And good to know! I still need to try the base Terraforming Mars. I'll have to find a way soon!
Hey, happy to see you are doing a Top 100 because most Top 100 are almost multiplayer only games but urs will be most likely a nice mix between multiplayer and solo. Have you already worked out an upload schedule?
That's a very good point! There is definitely a good mix of games I've played only solo, only multiplayer and a bit of both. 😊👍🏻 And yes! My goal is to upload the Top 100 videos on Wednesday's and Saturday's!
holy fantastic hair! also these picks are already fire, i still need to try Twilight Inscription, I've played TI 4 like 3 times so def want to try the roll & write of it
