Loving this countdown so far, can't wait for #10-1!
Except they'll call it 1-10 🤣
Haha 😂 good catch!
You guys deserve way more views and subscriptions. The combination of passion and rationality while explaining your lists and games reviews is outstanding. I am literally looking what to buy next based on your videos.
Keep doing what you do because you are perfect at it.
Naveen has had some great shirts in previous videos. I think this one is my favorite. Breakfast is the best!
Agreed: great shirt!
Where can we get it? 🍳 🥓
If;; I understand uu I! Yeah of uu your
Thank you, Monique and Naveen! I learn something each video about games I’ve never played - and cheer for ones I do know and love. It is always enjoyable to watch you two talk about games.
Aww thanks Sara, hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Been in this hobby a couple of years now and spent way too much time watching playthroughs, top 10s etc. I think I'm ready to declare your channel the very best of them all. I admire your passion, knowledge, clarity when you speak, and none of the fluff; plus Monique's hair is mesmerising! Great job you two and I am really looking forward to more content. Subbed.
Thank you for this set of lists/ videos. You share excellent insights on your game choices. It’s nice to see some “ older” games that have stood the test of time.
Oh yeah, we can’t forget the games of the past. So many excellent titles the last 15 years.
Brand new to the channel and probably just binged a dozen of your videos. Love the countdown and found some new games I must have!
"You are continuing to anticipate it!" haha You guys have great banter, so natural on camera. Thanks for the video!!
LOL!!
Was excited to see this pop up on my feed! Looking forward to the rest of the mindclash series and I would love to see a Brass Birmingham playthrough! Also, Naveen's t-shirt is awesome.
Thanks for watching our videos! Naveen absolutely loves that t-shirt.
Me and my partner are cuddling and watching this vod, and I can’t think of a better way to ring in the new year! Happy end of 2021 and hope you two are as happy right now as we are!
Aww how cute!! Happy New Year!! 🎊
A great selection of games. I absolutely love Wingspan, Root and Dune Imperium. Also I have been meaning to try many of these, Obsession, Kemet, Castles, Modern Art and beyond the Sun. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the list! These videos are filled with so many hidden gems to discover!
Awesome to hear that, hope you get to try some of these titles out!
Hi! I just started watching and wanted to say I love your videos. I’ve been watching lots of playthroughs at night and listening to you two is so calming and relaxing. Would actually love to see a video of some more “accessible” games. I love board games but I have poor vision, especially at night (so game nights are tough) but some games with less (or no) reading on cards and limited visual cues would be nice to see! I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I know a lot of blind and visually impaired people who struggle with board/card games because they just aren’t accessible! Would love to see some content of anyone’s thoughts on games out there that might fit the bill or how they can be made more accessible!
Fantastic video as always! Thanks! A couple of picks really surprised me, so grateful that you put out this list. My predictions for the last video: Cabo, Scythe, A Feast for Odin, Gaia Project, Brass (Naveen), On Mars, Lisboa, Kanban 😊 Have a great holiday week!
I loved this video! I especially loved how excited Naveen looked and talked about the games he presented from his list. Great picks from both of you! Some games I haven't played yet that have caught my interested (Yokai Septet, Concordia, Brass Birmingham, Obsession, Beyond the Sun), should check them out next year. :)
I've played Kemet: Blood & Sand, though not the original. It plays nice and fast, and I especially love the use of the monsters and all the movement options you have.
before you play really grew on me slowly but surely over this year, have a happy upcoming new year.
I love your video's and these lists are awesome! I can't wait to see Top 10. I'm a newer gamer and you have helped me a ton (especially the play through's!)
Wohoo, love these video's so much! I am currently looking of a new board game and you have a similar taste in board games as i do, so this helps a lot!
Finally ranked the games in my collection here's 20-11:
20. Raiders of the north sea
19. Wingspan
18. Secret hitler
17. Tekhenu: obelisk of the sun
16. Terraforming mars ares expedition
15. Lost ruins of arnak
14. Search for planet x
13. Photosynthesis
12. Everdell
11. Parks
I know they're kind of varied but I enjoy a wide range of board games and to be honest the most important thing for me is looks over function so I think that's why I rated photosynthesis and everdell higher even though I don't play those games as much. But still, all solid games that I really love. Great video! It's really great getting to see other people's top games and get exposed to new games to try!
I love your videos, thanks a lot! The Gallerist is lying around here and will be played next - as are two yet unplayed expansions for Trickerion (Academy and Technology). I'd personally put Trickerion and Brass high up in 1-10, like On Mars - but then: we don't own that many games as you do (while still a lot). And personal tastes do differ even when we both seem to be in the club of Lacerda-Lovers 🙂Keep the good work up and happy New Year's Eve from Germany!
That is such a cool shirt! I'm really enjoying these lists as well 😄
Haha thanks Angela!
Can’t wait for the last video but I have to say after your play through video I am obsessed with getting my hands on obsession …
Get excited when I see the next countdown video. Can’t wait to hear your top 10!👏🏼😊
Thanks Susan! We really appreciate all your support!!
These countdowns are so much fun and y'all have some great taste in games! I definitely need to try Castles of Burgundy, Search for Planet X, and Beyond the Sun
Start with Castles of Burgundy!! It’s a MUST!!!
Nice list. I got the deluxe edition of Brass Birmingham for Christmas. Kind of hard to learn, but really excited to play.
Great lists of top games! Castles of Burgundy is one of my wife’s top games and I just got The Gallerist - my first Lacerda title.
Don't even own Brass, but bought the Iron Clays for poker chips because they're so beautiful. Looks like they just raised the prices after too...
I love Naveen's tshirt!!!
We're so close to the final 10! It's so exciting.
Well, there's my 20 to 11 list:
20- Viscounts of the West Kingdom
19- That's Pretty Clever!
18- Blood Rage
17- Underwater cities
16- Great Western Trail
15- Welcome to...
14- Raiders of Scythia
13- The search for planet X
12- Calico
11- Parks
Naveen and I almost have an exact cross over with The Search of Planet X, hahaha. 14 and 13... So close!
Thanks, he had to have it the moment he saw that shirt lol. Excellent list of games, Blood Rage is one we both still haven’t tried!! 🤨
@@BeforeYouPlay I play the digital version, because nobody in my gaming group was interested. The first two games I didn't understand what was happening, but then... Incredible. I hope I can play it with the minis in the future 😝
Grats on 35k! looking forward to more playthroughs and videos in the new year!
Thank you so much!
The Iron Clays are very much worth it. I've used them in every game that requires money. It feels so satisfying to have a stack of chips vs. a pile of coins/cardboard to me.
We do the same. No more paper money. No more numerous, cheap cardboard chits to keep track of. The Iron Clays are the best investment we've made, by far, since we first got into board gaming several years ago.
I agree, they're marvellous
Agree great buy , works for many games.
Some great selections here! I also really love Obsession, Dune Imperium and Root. The new version of Kemet seems really good an improvement and slight reworking of the original which i also greatly enjoyed. It is pretty easy to pick up if you have played the original. I need to play Trickerion again, but its been so long that the rules have leaked out of my brain! Wingspan is always fun but I play more on the App now than with the actual game.
Man, that art in Alchemists... So vibrant and charming- makes me want to try it on looks alone.
Highly recommend if you like deduction games!!
It's a really pleasant surprise to see Goa so high in a Top 50 list! That is such an underrated game.
Great to see Beyond the Sun on this list. It's been a little overlooked this year (a lack of card art can make it seem dry), but I found this a good game to teach because of the limited actions initially available, with the unfolding tech tree adding options as it progresses. I found Dune much harder to teach since all the complexity is on display from turn 1.
A total shame how overlooked this game has been.
We were so pleasantly surprised with Beyond the Sun. Not a looker but plays so well at all player counts.
Great lists! So many fun games here. The Crew, Wingspan, Trickerion, and The Gallerist are some of my favorites too.
Also, Naveen, that shirt is amazing, where can I find it?
Monique!! I was also taught that in The Crew you had to complete each mission in order before moving onto the next. That way it acts like a true campaign card game. Are people just skipping around as they please?! Chaos!! Hahhaa
Your lists are amazing!
Yep, awesome list! Can find myself in every game! Looking forward to the next installment!
Thanks for watching, next video will be out soon!!
@@BeforeYouPlay Looking forward to it! :-)
Hi Monique and Naveen, season greetings, I love your channel and love the current countdown. I have a request for a play through next year hopefully. Since I saw Monique put her number 13 as Castles of Burgundy, I would have thought you two would have done a playthrough of it by now. So before I decided to post, I made a quick search and to my surprise you havent done one. All the best for the new year.
Really great video this chanell was the one that got me into the hobby! I am verry greatfull for that😁 A game that I think it would be intrsesting to see yall play would be cartographers a roll player tale I think you might like it that was one I got for christmass and cannot stop playing it
-love your channel🙂
Great video! Cant wait for the last part!. Just one thing, in the Brass part all the images shown are from Brass Lancashire, not Birmingham, but not a big deal!
Some of my favorites on this segment. Wingspan, Concordia, Trickerion, Brass, Dune Imperium.
You are our kind of gamer!! 😍
So many games I love on your list once again ❤️ Most prominent are Root, Trickerion and Castles of Burgundy
All fantastic titles, so many gems in the board game hobby!
I love Obsession!!!! The Upstairs/Downstairs expansion is fantastic! And I totally use my iron clays when I play. Just putting that out there, wink, wink.
Ooooob Iron clays would be excellent! Love this one
You said your prefered version is birmingham but he photos used in the video are from Lancashire!
Great video and content, thanks 😊😊
LOL YOU’RE SO RIGHT!
Thanks so much for this! Can’t wait for the top 10! Do you have a favourite hidden movement game that works really well at 2?
Find someone who looks at you the way Naveen looks at The Gallerist. Beaming. Great to see.
Two Rooms and a Boom is probably the most surprising entry here. I would not think it would make your list based on the games I saw you guys play previously.
Yeah, not quite a Euro game but she absolutely adores it
So uhhh... I love your content and watching you guys play these games, but when are you playing Root Riverfolk and Marauders?! Not to mention maybe a game with advanced set up and the Exiles and Partisans deck. Lot of content to cover and for me to consume haha.
Yee! This is really fun. Can't wait for the top 10! Here's my #11-20 played in 2021...
20 Citadels
19 Ticket to Ride
18 Skip-Bo
17 Carcassonne

15 King of Tokyo

No Root in Navine’s top 50?! 😱 haha. Great videos guys. Enjoyed the series
Naveen! what an awesome t-shirt! :) love it :) also love the whole list so far ;)
17:34 I could tell it was Wingspan just by this description alone lol
Excellent list! There is more known titles in this portion of the top 50 for me. I have also more cross over with you guys.
I can’t wait for the last video!

11 Horrified
12 Concordia

14 Exit Series
15 Unlock! Series
16 7 Wonders Duel
17 Telestrations
18 Anachrony
19 Targi
20 Viticulture Essential Edition
Love u guys and ur content
Can't wait to see the rest
Post the next one! Dyin’ over here… Lisboa is No. 1 on both lists, surely. But then what else? I don’t think Vinhos has placed in either yet… very exciting! Love your channel, my favourite board game informants! Happy new year. x
Obsession is such a massively good game that is both surprising and fun and I think it's even underrated.
I keep writing off Obsession as something I wouldn't be interested in, but now I have to play it.
aww you guys! I love your list! can't wait for the next one! Really want to check out Modern Art one of these days.
Please do!!! Play it 4-5 players though…
I haven't played Concordia, Search for Planet X and Dune Imperium but they're both on our wishlist. And my number one game has appeared on one of your lists now! Looking forward to the top 10. My list:
20. The Gallerist
19. Coffee Traders
18. 7 Wonders Duel
17. Lords of Waterdeep
16. Forum Trajanum
15. Strasbourg
14. Stone Age
13. Lancaster
12. Scythe
11. London (Second Edition)
Hello my friends. Sorry we're a little late to this one. Loving your lists, thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to mention that Elysium has had a fully developed expansion waiting to be released for over 5 years. The good news is Space Cowboys (the publisher) has said that they have a surprise coming up for Elysium in an interview a few months ago. But they haven't committed to a date either for announcement or release. But all hope is not lost! And keep up the good work you two!
I am waiting for the final video.. very exciting :-))
Loving the series. Also love Naveen's shirt.
can't wait for the next one!
I can't wait for the Top 10 list!!!
Love to see Modern Art so high, it's definitely solidly in my top 20 as well. Some other overlap with my list but Modern Art is one that I think doesn't get brought up as much as it deserves.
It’s probably the best pure auction game (by Naveen’s standards lol).
Nice, I think I agree. The Estates would also be up there for me if that also counts as pure auction.
Great video as always. This is my 20-11:
20 Sushi Go Party!
19 Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries
18 Century: Golem Edition - Eastern Mountains
17 Blood Rage
16 Carcassonne
15 Photosynthesis
14 The Great Zimbabwe
13 The Castles of Burgundy
12 The Resistance: Avalon
11 Azul
Looking forward to a Brass playthrough... Wallace hype!
The points you mentioned Naveen about Wingspan is why I chose Everdell instead. You unlock a worker each round instead of giving one up. More animals than just birds.
Yeah that's true! Everdell is another one that accomplishes similar things to Wingspan and super cute theme too
It's so good to see Goa on this list! It's in my top 5!
I haven’t entered into the contests but I think it’s a neat idea you’ve done giving away a copy that appears on your list.
Nice to see Elysium on your list. I also wish there was an expansion that adds new families and perhaps a new mechanic. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I love it and I love the art. Beyond the Sun is soooo amazing! I really want to try Search for Planet X.
Re: you collecting all the maps for Concordia but never playing them.. Yes! I do that too. I think I've started really reconsidering this as of late. Some expansions or extra content is fun to play with. Wingspan, for example, really sings with the Oceania expansion and I'm glad I got it but then there are other unnameable games that I just never open the extra content. 😳
The smaller maps of concordia really are awesome though!! Makes a great game even better!
Really like Cole Wehrle’s designs. Pax Pamir is my favorite. Root needs more plays. Eager to try Oath!
I would really like to try Modern Art too!
Root is the title we are most familiar with, have heard Oath can be really fun with a consistent group too. Hope you will get to try Modern Art at 4-5 players!
It's fun seeing everyone's lists. Here's ours:
11-Just One
12-Button Men
13-Similo
14-Champions of Midgard
15-Strike
16-Hive
17-Schotten Totten
18-The Quacks of Quedlinburg
19-Escape the Dark Castle
20-The Bloody Inn
Great video, as usual! I just got a copy of Goa, and I was wondering if it plays well in two. Any suggestion?
I'm really enjoying the list, and am loving the games on it.
Thank you so much! It’s been really fun making these lists.
So glad to see Obsession on this list. Incredible game and one I can get my wife on board with. Definitely in my top 5!
Nice!! We were super surprised by Obsession. Such a clever game and the expansions add a good dose of extra variety.
Great list! Random question- what clip are you using in that piano outro? It's pretty and familiar 🎹 🤔
I went to GenCon this year and four hours of daytime GenCon was just spent in my friend's room playing The Crew. Worth missing a good stretch of the day for some of those memories. My 20-11:
20. Star Wars Rebellion
19. Twilight Struggle
18. Pandemic (the system,)
17. Spirit Island
16. Res Arcana
15. The Godfather Corleone's Empire
14. Hansa Teutonica
13. The Castles of Burgundy (true crossover!)
12. Tapestry
11. Imperial Settlers Empires of the North
If you have Wingspan and Root on this list I'm curious to see which are on your 10 to 1 list. Excellent reviews btw.
Cannot wait for the top 10 :)
When is the top 1-10 video dropping? Can't wait >.
I think you should go for a full top 100 next year.
There are several of your choces that didn't make my top 100 but they are still really good games!
Here is my 11-20:
11 On Mars
12 Le Havre
13 Underwater Cities
14 Nations
15 Battlestar Galactica
16 Brass (Lancashire/Birmingham)
17 Puerto Rico
18 Dune Imperium
19 Imperium Classics/Legends
20 Maracaibo
Yes I know there are technically 12 games on this part of my list, but the Imperium games are the same really, and the Brass games are also very similar.
36:38 A race to 10 points, tension, competition for cards and locations… So you know of this game called Catan right haha 😉
Happy to see dune and root on this list, both games are on my top 5!!
So so darn good!!
Continuing my list of top 50 games:
20 - Escape Plan - Vital's simplest game design, but still fun to play.
19 - Periodic: a game of the elements - Genius Games celebration of the 150 year anniversary of Mendeleev publication of the periodic table.
18 - Russian Railroads - excellent worker placement game of railroad building; German Railroads is better.
17 - Santa Fe - railroad building in the USA, a game that has stood the test of time.
16 - Die Macher - the classic election game; both the first and second editions are excellent.
15 - Underwater Cities - city building under the seas.
14 - Macao - arguably Stefan Feld's best design.
13 - Shipyard - wonderful game of building and launching ships in the 19th Century; the government contracts need balancing.
12 - Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game - worker placement game of developing the Laws of Genetics.
11 - Cosmogenesis - a game of building a solar system from scratch.
Excited to see Elysium on your list. I’m yet to play it, I just acquired it in a trade for Fog of Love and very keen to learn the rules and get it to the table.
Nice!! We hope you like it!
I love obsession! such a great board game and great to play solo!
In regards to the pure deduction of Planet X, have you tried Cryptid? Super brain-burning, especially with the expert rules. Note that the official 2-player rules released online are great.
Glad to see Castles of Burgundy so high on the list. Its the best Euro and Im willing to die on that hill :) Such a great time every time.
That shirts is incredible!
Woohoo love kemet being that high up and even better dune even higher love it
So many good games. Obsession & Root almost back-to-back!
Hey guy big fan of your channel, is there any place you guys have posted this whole list of 50 by titles that we can see. I really appreciate your guys insight and am getting into the hobby. Would love to pick up some your top 20,10 etc titles. Also, Love BRASS Birmingham current game im playing right now. I was surprised to not see ROOT on this list, any specific reason or just not that appealing for you guys? Cheers!
Naveen, where did you find your breakfast tshirt? We love it!
Love Goa. haven't played in a while but I remember it being extermely fun. its not as heavy as people think htough. Its probably heavy only if you haven't played this sort of game before. If you compare it to some other euros though, its actually closer to mid weight.
I had it in my top ten a few years ago. It might not hold up at the level now if I played it again, but it would certianly be in my top 20 still.
