Jon, there is one game that you're missing on your channel that I think could have made it to this list - Monopoly Deal! Not the classic Monopoly, but the card version of the game. I've made so many friends with this game. Just randomly playing with people in hostels, airports, pubs, etc. I think you'd love it! :D
I agree with others: love the new set, an improvement imo. This video format is my favorite: give me quick explanations/opinions on several games, and small-box card games are my preferred format too!
Jon, I've been binging on your videos and I really love your focus on the fact that it's board game geeks often only have non-geeks to play with but everyone wants to have fun anyway. Thank you!
I love these videos. They are so helpful when there are so many small card games on the market. And this is what gets my family and some friends to actually play games with me.
Wow, all 5 of those looked absolutely great, and unique enough that I'm left wanting every single one. I really love your videos... your explanations always make sense and always win me over. Of these 5, I think Llama party and Truffle Shuffle looked like the most fun.
Love the new angles and color contrasts! I love truffle shuffle, neat little game, also the art and colors and even the feel of the cards is so satisfying.
This is great!! Sometimes with certain people you just need something extremely simple to replace UNO or Rummikub or Yahtzee but without adding any complexity which is very gard to find, and which you don't know because gamers don't mention them. Great job!
This is really good. When going to visit my Mum the only game we can ever play is Timeline because she struggles with understanding rules. Defo a few options to try here.
Love this channel, it’s the first place I go when looking for a new game. And with the new setup, there’s real drama as to whether that hourglass is going to get accidentally knocked off the table.
One of my late mother's favorite card games was Pit. She really got excited. The name refers to a tiny stepped arena at commodities exchanges where members call out proposed trades. Pit is an unusual type of rummy game, in which multiple players announce proposals to trade hidden cards with each other, until one player assembles all nine of his cards into a single type of commodity, e.g. corn. He then rings the bell and yells out, "Corner on Corn" or whatever.
Great picks! I added all in 1 card to my wishlist. Also similar to Rummy is an older game called five crowns. Very ugly to look at, but very fun and easy to play!
Hi Jon, I have really been enjoying your videos. This has some great choices and a few I would really like, seems like they are not easily gotten in the USA. I would say that I have a lot of success with 5211, and lately am really enjoying Merchants Of Dunhuang.
This video was really helpful! I have a brother who would play any game with me. But my wife is a non gamer and is repelled by anything that seems complicated lol. I’ll definitely check these out.
Hi Jon, everything on 1 card reminds me of silver and gold. Is it made by same publisher? My family loves llama time! We've enjoyed point salad and insider lately too. I'll check out these others when I'm not pnp'ing 😂
Another very easy and fun card game is Port Royal. Have you tried it? I would love to see a review of this one from you. Not that I need it, but I love your videos.
Great background, and the addition of the chapters in the time bar makes it easy to go back and watch a specific segment, so thank you. "Truffle Shuffle" says that it's for 14+, but BoardGameGeek calls it a family game. Any reason an 11-year-old couldn't play it?
No, I think it would be fine for an 11 year old and possibly younger. I think sometimes age suggestions are unnecessarily high because the publisher hasn't gone to the lengths of getting official approval from whatever governing body makes decisions on these things.
Alright...had to order/buy all of these card games! 😅😅 im looking forward for my persian edition of loot, looking like isnogod comic style 😍 and rethemed with kamels 😄 thanks for making me looking forward to play some ease games and get them addicted haha
I love watching english board game channels, because not every game is available in german. So I will not get everything 😁 Great Video though... remids me of playing lama again😀
You know what my problem is with you? You make a video where you tell me to not buy all the games, but you introduce those games in such a way that I want them all, even though they will probably be unplayed for the most part.
My goto games for these occasions are 6 nimmt, no thanks, Spicy or - if the round can handle a little more - Stikeln (Sticheln). Lama is something I would not bring to the table if I do not want to torture myself for something.... 😉
@Actualol - I can't seem to decide whether to get Duck or Llama to play with my wife and daughter. Both seem to be fantastic at what they do. What would you recommend? I don't want to get both because they are quite similar...
It might be a little too new to have reached everywhere. It is available in Germany and the UK at the moment. I expect it will be available elsewhere later this year.
