Where can I get those smaller foldable bit trays shown at about the 6:22 mark? I have some similar ones but they are larger (maybe 5” wide” but can’t find smaller ones.
Thank you for sharing your lists with us! Before I watched the video I thought if it is not going to be Unsettled and Chess I will be very surprised ) I love both games very much! Thanks again guys!
I really liked your top 50, there were many of my favorite games included 👍, so I'd like to browse through your videos a little more and subscribe. ☺️ VlG from northern Germany, Andrea
Happy to see Heroes of Land, Air, and Sea on your list. I mostly play solo but the solo deck is so easy to play that I made copies and use 3-4 “AI factions” to play against.
Ha! Justin’s expression when Jodi pulled out Unsettled was priceless. I’m just happy to see Justin stayed tried and true to the “fewer rules” games as these games tend to get overlooked by a lot of Top 50 lists as people want to show off their large or more complex games. And while I skew more towards Justin these days, it’s more a matter of what do I play MORE of and these complex games just don’t get enough plays. And the reason is…I can’t keep all the rules to these complex games in my head unless get the opportunity to play them 9 times in a row, which doesn’t happen. How are you able to do it, Jodi? 😊 Medium to medium light games like Mille Fiori, Luxor, Abyss, etc totally dominate my list with about 4-5 “heavies” somewhere in there.
Understandable! I have to refresh on rules before I play any game really..my long term memory is awful. But, I love reading rulebooks so that’s not an issue for me haha
@@BoardGamePerspective Interesting! I don't know many people that love to read rulebooks! You might be the first. 😄 With that said, I can learn it better that way than through videos.
Nice picks! Very interesting to see your difference in tastes become more apparent in this segment as Jodi skewed more to epic big box experiences while Justin's list is topped by elegant abstract strategy games. I wonder how different the literal weight in pounds between your top 10s would be. 😂 -Ryan
I think I am right in the middle. "Five Tribes", "Tigris & Euphrates" and "Azul" are my current top 3. Props on having "Hive" SO high. It is definitly a simple game with a lot of depth. I wonder if Justin has ever played "Go". Simpler in rules than chess but the depth is brilliant once you really get into it.
The two of you are just like my husband and I. He loves chess and I love the overproduced games. Right now, I'm sitting here trying to learn Bitoku with it all set up and when my husband walked by he gave me the same look that Justin gives to some of your games. 😅😂 I'm hoping he will like it since Justin does...once I can actually convince him to try it.
Hi guys, really enjoy you're choices, i like both, abstract and great design games, ONITAMA is perfect!!! But i really need to try Voidfall, the problem is time and space. Greatings from Portugal!! Just subscribed.
As someone who was introduced to the hobby after being a massive chess buff, i see your n°1 as a complete delight. I was always wondering why people inside the hobby don't like chess when it is such an awesome game
@@BobLee-df4zhI think chess is wonderful at a level between amateur and pre-professional; when you play based on opening mid game and end game principles, strategy and tactics. Below that it’s just whoever makes less errors, and above that massive parts of the game are just who studied the correct lines to the correct depth… it becomes beautiful again at the elite level, when all of the study knowledge becomes a given and it’s about seeing those little intricacies. I gave chess away once it became a slog~ 2000 rating without ever studying openings.
10:53 One of eight actions… Wow, I am not sure this is a game for me. For example, I prefer Calico over Cascadia - because the former limits the amount of options you can choose from on your turn - holding your hand on what to do.
Great lists. I keep a copy of Onitama in my office. I tell people it's "chess for dummies." I actually don't like the seriousness chess, but Onitama scratches a similar itch. And last month I finally broke down and picked up Unsettled. Really happy i did. :]
32:28 Hmm… And I don’t know, either… So obviously, it is NOT Twilight Imperium… With a bit of a cheat (looking at the BGG Top Games), I am going to guess Terraforming Mars.
@@BoardGamePerspectivedon’t know where you guys are. I wish were near by here in Dallas. I want to try all those hams in Jodi’s list. 😅. I love those space games.
29:12 I have 0 interest in Voidfall - especially the way it was marketed, as a space 4X - and it competed against Fractal. I wasn’t really into Fractal, either. Between Voidfall and Eclipse, at least I have some interest in Eclipse - but none for Voidfall (personally).
Jodi’s list is spot on. Higher complexity, steeper learning curves. Justin’s games are medium to medium light games that teach quick and are easy to table. Not gonna lie, his list are gateway games but Jodi’s list is what you move to when you’re ready to challenge yourself.
Eric doesn't understand a very basic truth of the world. Enjoying games is subjective. There is no "right" list. Both lists are equally valid and equally good.
@@nikolamanojlovicci so you’re saying board game lists are subjective….🤔 profound! 😒 Actually, I’m making an observation that her lists were all big heavier games that require big teaches and longer gameplay and most (not all) board gamers eventually move to these types of games. His games were much easier to approach, teach, play, and didn’t force people to sit at a gaming table for 3, 4, 5+ hours. Again, an observation. I prefer her list (subjective), but the differences in what they enjoy (observation) was my actual point being made. Thanks though 🤨
Eric got caught propagating snobbery and then proceeds to prove it in the next comment. It's okay buddy, the hobby is full of it. You too are fine with your "sophisticated" taste. Just don't put down people who enjoy different types of games and nobody will call you out.
