  1. Nice to see all the familiar tropes of a Top 100 (Silly intro song, shaming the bottom 10, etc.) and also great to see Uwe on the list! Forgotten Folk is a great expansion and gives Caverna a lot more legs. I agree it's a beast to set up. I was lucky enough to find a decent broken token insert for it.

  2. Great start to the top 100. Appreciate you both so much! Also great idea to do this list for kids!! The intro song was hilarious as well. As usual, much love from Newfoundland, Canada.

  3. Can’t resist a top 100! 😀

    Haven’t tried a bunch of these games. Some of them, like Carcassonne or Patchwork, I respect more than I enjoy; they get tons of people into the hobby, so I love that about them, but I learned them far too late into the hobby for them to be interesting to me. Terraforming Mars isn’t bad, but I agree that Ares Expedition is a massive improvement to the extent that I probably wouldn’t play the base game if Ares were available.

    I do like Furnace and need to play it more! And Ticket To Ride I’ll still occasionally play with people new to the hobby.

    Kanagawa is a great simple game … Zee Garcia recommended it to me when I met him at a game shop opening in England, and it was a great pick for me!

    I don’t love Everdell … the mechanics are fine, but as you mentioned, it’s famous for kingmaking because of its asymmetric timing. If you know how to take advantage of its quirks and other playwrs don’t, you will win, guaranteed. My second game, I played with two experts and my friend Jenny, who was also new; she and I finished the game early, got burgers, and came back 20 minutes later to see the other two players still playing, minmaxing and comboing and trying to one-up each other. That ruined it for me.

    Thanks for putting in the work to make this video!

  4. Aight, so, lemme get this straight – Mike breaks all the Top 10 rules by inventing an imaginary subset of Roll And Writes for the SOLE purpose of not having to choose between Rajas Dice and Cartographers, therefore allowing both of them to be his "#1 Roll And Write"…. fast forward like, 6 minutes later, and Rajas is BARELY hitting the Top 100???

    I demand that he either 1) issue a public apology, podium and all, 2) retract and remake those two Top 10s into a conventional single Top 10 with Rajas in its new rightful place, or 3) accept being publicly BOOOOOO-ed from now until the end of forever.

  7. Never played Everdale but the knock that a more experienced player will crush you can technically be applied to any game. I don't expect to play well against someone that has invested time in a game while I'm new. Not a knock on the list though! Great start 😀

  10. Love Boonlake at all player counts! I wouldn’t want to play it at 4, but at 3 players we knock out the game in 2 hours. Instead of everyone taking their turn sequentially, we basically play simultaneously for 80% of the game. Sometimes you have to wait for players before you (like when they’re placing a worker on the board), but lots of actions you can take your turn at the same time as everyone else (like the lever action).

    On top of that, everyone should be moving down the river relatively quickly (moving 3 or 4 spots every turn). I’ve seen complaints about game length from people who’ve played the game only once or twice and it’s almost always because they take actions that move them only 1 or 2 spaces down the river.

  11. Thank you both for another 2 years of phenomenal content. Your commitment to fundraising for a great cause never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the rest of this great Top 100 list!

  12. I know this list is going to be good because by #98 you've already listed 2 of my favorite games.
    Carcassonne is the only intro level game I never tired of. I get way too much joy by joining my tiny city to their huge city.

  13. This top 100 is great, but want to give a special shoutout to the fantastic editing: it's so great to see little clips of the game components as you narrate. That must be a bear to put together, but it really elevates this video compared to some of the others you see on youtube. Thanks for all the hard work!
