Since this is a list that could (and should) find many new players, i guess it's always good to remind that NO game SHOULD be a stepping stone to a "heavier" one, the goal is to have fun, you can play just "gateway games" and it's ok

That also works the other way around. You don't have to start by playing gateway games. If a HEAVY game appeals to you, go for it. Some people just like the challenge or just vibe with a game so much that the weight rating hardly matters. For example, some people i would have never imagined playing Ark Nova just clicked with it, sat down and just tried and asked questions until they got it.

Great list! I also want to add, if you're new to boardgaming but you feel more attracted to heavy games, don't feel intimidated and go for it! I got into boardgaming at the end of 2021 and got Scythe very soon, and Mage Knight (for solo) 6 months later. These heavy games actually made me love board games! Lighter games wouldn't have done that for me. If you want to dive into the deep end straight away, and you're looking forward to learning something complicated, go for it!

Awesome list! Mine would probably be something like: Lost Cities, Azul, Quest for El Dorado, Blue Lagoon, Stone Age, Chinatown, Escape: the Curse of the Temple, 7 Wonders, Modern Art, Just One. Cheers from CO!

Your Lost Ruins of Arnak playthrough was how I discovered your channel. I ended up buying a copy and have really enjoyed it, mostly solo, so thanks! I think Chinatown is another great game for starting a collection, with simple rules and high player interaction given it's all about negotiation.

Great list and have introduced a few of them that you mentioned to new gamers and have gone over well. I've found Ticket To Ride, Just One, Blockbuster (the movie, party game) and Dixit have been the biggest hitters amongst family/group of friends when introducing them to the hobby

your 10 game bonus list...i was shocked Lords of Waterdeep was not on it...and then you added it. Its still one of the best pure worker placement games. My wife and I love it.

This is a really good list with a good approach to variety. I would pick different games for a lot of categories, but Cascadia, Wingspan, and Just One are definite cross-overs with mine. A game I was quite surprised not to see here is Everdell, it's got such great theme and art, is relatively approachable at a baseline, and can grow into a really satisfying midweight euro once you start adding some expansion content.

Love this list. You really hit all the targets. Great suggestions. Totally agree with you and very surprisse that "Nev" has not played Carcassonne. It was my gateway to the hobby.

Great list! Excited to try some these out!

Great video! Thank you for this list - and I actually very much enjoyed when you mentioned more games of the same kind.

Great list guys! I would have to put Bohnanza on my list. Low rules overhead and, something super important to me especially for playing with non-board-gamers, high player interaction. You guys put it in your top 50 (I think at 48) games of all time. I can’t preach enough for this game as I’ve played it with so many different groups and it slaps every time!

Delighted to see Clank! On this list-it is one of the two games that got my son and me into the hobby, thanks to a recommendation by my FLGS. That second game was Star Realms-it or Hero Realms would be good games for this list. Now you all have me intrigued by Cascadia, which I’ve seen around a lot but didn’t know anything about, and Flamecraft, which I did not know about. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for this one!

Nice one guys, some great games on the list, going to try a few of these this week.

I own most of the games on this list and have introduced my family to a number of them. Instead of Clank, we play Cubitos for the push your luck mechanic. My family really enjoys it and the expansion will likely help get it to the table more often. I have tried some heavier games but feel like I enjoy games at the weight of Lost Ruins of Arnak best along with some of the lighter games like Space Base and Wingspan. This hobby is such a great one in finding fun in a variety of complexities and mechanics.

This is a great list. I'm not personally a fan of Arnak, but I know it's very popular. Another thing to consider including would be one or two small box card games like The Crew or Parade. When I started my collection, I got drawn into the hype of big games with tons of bells and whistles because those felt like the "real boardgames" but over time I've come to appreciate smaller, simpler games that have still have some strategic depth but also foster a more social experience. They also tend to be easier to teach, easier to get to the table, cheaper and they take up much less space. Also BGA is a great place to try out a ton of different games. Playing online might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's a fantastic way to try something out once to decide if it's worth spending the money and attempting to talk your friends or family into playing it.

I came to this video looking for smaller cheaper games, so thank you for listing two. I'll check em out

I HIGHLY recommend Welcome to the Moon - it's just a lot more variety and a campaign mode even. But I don't feel it's much more complex than the original. Here are my 10 games if I was starting a collection today: 1 1. Azul 2. Castles of Burgundy 3. Mission: Red Planet 4. Race for the Galaxy 5. Isle of Cats 6. Pan Am 7. The King is Dead 8. Forbidden Desert 9. Codenames 10. High Society Honorable Mentions: Sea Salt & Paper (would be #1 but not available in US currently), Scythe (might be a tad heavy), Parks

This was so great! Also, I love how you started because I also started on table top day at my friendly local game store… And my wife and I gave everyone “just desserts“ who was in our wedding party!

Even though they dont fit the "within last 5 years" guide, i HIGHLY recommend Champions of midgard (my favorite boardgame of all time) And Valeria is a great game that kinda combines deck building with dice rolls that all players benefit from, with a little resource management and combat. Its great for keeping everyone engaged, simple rule sets, great art, and decent strategy!

Feels great to see games from my library making the list -- still a few to collect as well. Lost Ruins of Arnak is one of my favorite games and I consider it to be a gateway game to bridge the gap between light and heavier games. Great work!

I set up Lost Ruins of Arnak and played it with my friend who plays heavy Lacerda games and he had fun and was easy to teach, but my family looked at it and were so intimidated and scared to try it. The weight rating is so subjective that it’s hard to give it any real credibility.

Great list! Thanks!

Thank you. This was very entertaining and informative.

I remember jumping back into the hobby around 2017 and started with; Agricola Pandemic Ticket to Ride Energy Empire Splendour Paperback

1)Incan Gold 2)Kingdomino 3)Sunset over Water 4)BarenPark 5)Marvel United 6)Camel Up ...yw.

That's a great list! ☺️

Good list. I’ll add Arcadia, a game we found at UK Games Expo a month or so ago. Very easy to play and set up - almost no rule for play, the ‘rules’ come when the game is over and you’re scoring. It’s attractive to look and handle, and it scales perfectly from 2 to 4 players.

Nailed it! What a perfect set of games to begin a collection! As always we can think of 10 more. Lol. I would have kept Takenoko on the list instead of runner up. Well thought out suggestions.

Great list. I highly suggest Lord of Waterdeep as a step into worker placement games. Found my (unused) copy in a charity shop when I was just getting into the hobby!

Enjoyed watching your recommendations. Really want to try Arnak in the near future. My 10 would be: 10.) Animal Kingdoms 9.) Quacks of Quedlinburg 8.) For Sale 7.) Camel up 6.) Santorini 5.) Istanbul 4.) sushi go party 3.) Gizmos 2.) Stockpile 1.) Everdell

Awesome list guys! I have 6 out of the 10 games on this list. Guess Im on the right track.

I'd toss Distilled into this list. It's a strategy game with push-your-luck elements where you are trying to get the most recognition for your distillery that takes place over 7 turns by making recipes using market-style drafting. It just came out this year, and it's been a big introduction to heavier games for our collection (it's kind of medium-heavy, so not too overwhelming).

The Azul chocolate looks really cool. But let's be honest, what I really want is actual chocolate.

thank you for the list. 😊

Very timely list. I was just asking myself this question as I’m trying to get the rest of my family into the hobby.

I'd say: Kivi. (Yatzee with a twist) Sushi Go. (Seven wonders simplified) Dixit. Bohnanza. These games are the ones I take when new friends come to play board games, or just when I'm going to a cabin with a group of friends. All fun, all easy to learn, some made my friends very interested in board games, a couple friends can't care less about board games but will always be down for a game of bohnanza.

Arnak+ Wingspan+ Codenames+ Azul+ Cascadia+ Klank- Architects-

Fun list, thank you. I'd add in a small card game such as Coloretto or Parade (thanks Naveen for convincing me to buy this fab game!) The cards, rules and player actions of these games are simple but lots of depth to the games. Good player count coverage too (Parade with 2 is great, not so much Coloretto).

Never played Carcassonne!?!? It was one of my introductions to the hobby and the first game that really clicked with me and my wife, still one of our all time favourites

This is a great collection. I might add that these games games aren't just for starting a collection or for newbies, these are equally fun even for experienced players. We've been in this hobby for about 5 years and own 125+ games including many of the so called heavy/complex games. We still continue to own and enjoy each of the 10 mentioned games here. :) Other games that we own and usually bring out for the new players - Carcassonne, Splendor, Ticket to Ride, Trekking Through History, Lords of Waterdeep and Quacks of Quedlinburg.

You nailed it exactly in your first paragraph. My husband and I have a very large collection and have been in this hobby for about six years. We own all of the games on this list and regularly play many of them. Plus we also own and play the much heavier games (Lacedra, etc.). It's all in what we're in the mood to play!

Hey great video! Man I LOVE Lost Ruins of Arnak! Feel the need to add my two cents. 1. I usually suggest the Century games for a great place to start a collection. The 3 games alone are good representations of their genres, but also their combinations are a great exploration of modern trends of combining mechanisms. These games aren’t GREAT, but always a good time. 2. Long time owner of Lords of Waterdeep. Really enjoy the game, but the intrigue cards “take that” aspect always kinda annoyed me and lead to kingmaker situations. However lately, I’ve been playing 2 player with a buddy using the app, and it’s now my preferred way to play! Its nice to have an obvious target for these cards, rather than someone feeling targeted due to arbitrary whims.

The games that really got me into the hobby: - Ticket to Ride (Europe) - Atlantis Rising - Plunder - Everdell Party games: - Exploding Kittens - Codenames

Really great list. In addition, I would highly recommend games that are enjoyable as solo experiences. When I entered the hobby 8 years ago, I had delusions of playing with my wife, my son, and friends… It’s usually just me - lol. I would also pay attention to the game mechanics and not lean too heavily into one. For example, one of my first purchases was Mice and Mystics; charming game. However, as I have grown with the hobby, I prefer games that rely less on dice. Hope this helps any new table top gamer.

@ricardojmpinto86

Yes, i also had that kind of delusions 😅 Now, when i'm buying new games i always check if is there a solo mode or, at least, if it plays well with just 2P... That's why, for instance, that 7 Wonders is not in my list.Regarding mechanics, dice is not a big problem for me, but i do agree that sometimes relying on dice could be really frustrating so, that is a good piece of advice. Happy games!

Lol I can totally relate to naveen’s feeling of wingspan. I feel like that every time. The randomness problem is worse in wingspan because the cards are random, the resources are random, and the scoring conditions you get are random. Not every game with cards is as random as wingspan.

Wingspan is excellent! Beautiful, fun, excellent replay value -- and you learn about birds as you play.

Solid list!

Solid list (some of my fave Gateway games on here), but ALSO: so happy my friend John taught me Flamecraft, sooooo cute and I neeeed it, but I also need those deluxe Dragon minis. ugh

Great list. I didn't have a great experience with Arnak, so that's probably my one disagreement. Some of the early games I was brought up on were Rise of Augustus, Survive, Excape, Carcassone, and Ticket To Ride. All great 'starting out' games. Also, I'd throw a trick-taking game in there too - Skull King. Probably my favorite, because of the mix of bidding and card play.

I would include Letter Jam- a cooperative word game that is more fun than you might think. I have wonderful memories of playing Carcassonne with my 90 yo father-he pulled out an epic win with his last tile. The crew is great with people who like trick taking card games.

One game I would like to add to the list is Phillip Walker Harding's Super Mega Lucky Box. The rules are easy (it's basically bingo) and it introduces the idea of engine building and there is some good strategy as well. It also takes about 30 minutes to play.If you are looking for minis war game that is easy to learn, I would suggest Memoir "44.

Nice list 😉. I think Trekking through history could be such a game to get into the hobby... And for me the underrated games Abyss and Brian Boru would also be on the list 😊

Great list. I think terraforming Mars deserves a spot in this list. I've met more than one person who's first game ever was TM and became avid board gamers!

Above and below is a great game that begins to open up the narrative genre. I would definitely add that to the list.

Great video guys …been with you from the start and very pleased to see your whole package mature …but as an English fan I do chuckle over the US pronouncing of certain words lol…as some one once said about US /U.K. relations they are 2 nations separated by a common language …keep up the good work…

Great list many of these are in my top 25 of all time. Love Ethnos and think it’s a great recommendation. Archeos Society is a reimplementation coming and I’m wondering if it will give me the same enjoyment.

Good lists! I have to vote for Dead of Winter because my name is in the credits. 😁 I was a beta tester. My favorite game was Lords of Waterdeep, a great worker placement/resource management game. It's been replaced by Dune: Imperium which has many elements of Lords of Waterdeep but adds deck builder mechanics. My area control game is Tyrants of the Underdark. It satisfies my need for a Risk style game without any die rolling. It substitutes a deck builder for die rolling. Oddly enough, another new game in our rotation is Galaxy Hunters. Think of it as Pacific Rim in space. It is also worker placement/resource gathering game. The game our game group has played more than any other game is Clank. We also played the full campaign of Acquisitions Inc. Clank. It's a legacy version of Clank. Also, I have to give a shout out to Ryan Laukat. I love his games and I'm blown away by his doing the art for the games as well. I've played Near and Far, Above and Below, Sleeping Gods, Roam, and Eight Minute Empire. I have really enjoyed them all. Finally, pet peeve time. Game companies, please quit using canyon trays in your packaging! It is just plain lazy. Give me appropriate trays and packaging to keep components from rattling around in the box. Don't force me to buy a third party game organizer to protect my game components.

I love your channel and I love your content, but the entire problem with a list like this is that it conflates gaming with collecting. If I knew someone just starting out, I would suggest that the rent or borrow or go to demos or play online and play as much as they can BEFORE buying anything. Get in the habit and mindset of buying once you know you will enjoy it and know you will play it. That’s the huge difference between “games you should play” and “games you should own in your collection”. Gaming should be about having fun and connecting with people you like, not a financial burden or obligation.

You are both awesome! ❤

What do you mean!? I love your Lost Ruins of Arnak playthrough, it's one my favorites!

Some people are obsessed with collecting instead of playing. With 2 or 3 games you could have fun for years.

Great list! My list would be 1. Point salad 2. Isle of cats 3. Century spice road 4 bunny kingdom 5. Wingspan 6. Alhambra 7. Concordia 8. Taj majal 9. Cat in the box 10. Just one

Oh also that should be on this list is everdell!! A worker placement, resource management tablo with beeeeautiful art work!!! Low rules with some neat strategies!

I love these top 302s :). As above surprised Dune did not push out LRoA. Good stuff tho, look forward to the next list.

I think its very important to take into account if you are most likely going to be playing predominantly with 2 players or 3+, some games scale well at 2 players and some really dont.

Okay, sometime at Strategicon, we need to get some of these classic game checkmarks marked off. Power Grid is a must play.

Oooh, if I had to make a list... I think Sound Box would be great. Really silly and very simple. It's cooperative codenames but with soundmaking. No Thanks is a game that leads to that "ooooooo" moment after the first round. I think the Estates and Modern Art would also be good contenders, but they're bigger and little harder to find. Ra just came back and might also fit this bill. I'm not a big social deduction fan. Often times, can feel too intense for me but ScapeGoat is just funny. And honestly makes me feel more paranoid than any other game. I find Horrified absolutely charming. MicroMacro continues to amaze me. There's some real detective work to be done with basically no rules overhead. Dungeon Fighter is another silly game. But it gets people practicing dice throwing like a sport. I've never seen people try so hard to be so good at something so ridiculous. I didn't expect so many coops on my list, but guess those are the ones that I like to showcase when trying to show people how fun board games can be

Yep, thats the list. As a newbie in the land of boardgames I started with most of the games mentioned here. except for a few i did not like which are apparently the most popular.....Azul and Wingspan. If I had to make a top 10 list with honorable mentions it would be. Clank, Paint the Roses, Love Letter, Ruins of Arnak, Just One, Ark Nova, Fallout Shelter, Bargain Quest, Sheriff of Northingham and Cascadia. Honorable mentions would be Scout, Red Dragon Inn, Cockroach Poker, Bang, No thanks, King of Tokyo, Hive Mind, 6 Takes and Concordia.

My list (and what I’ve found has worked well for new players), in no particular order: Carcassonne Ticket to Ride (or Ticket to Ride Nordic Countries for 2-3 players) Monikers Just One Concordia The Crew Codenames Chinatown Pandemic (any version) Cockroach Poker

The two games I would say are Marvel Legendary and Disney Villainous. Legendary is really fun as a co-op deck builder, and Villainous is just so fun in my opinion.

Nice. My list: 1. Ticket to Ride 2. For Sale 3. Alhambra 4. Stone Age 5. Splendor 6. Ra 7. Istanbul 8. Cascadia 9. 7 Wonders 10. Survive

Helpful video :) Im curious if you guy like dexterity games &, if so, there are any that you would recommend ? Thanks

I've not got room for more than 10 larger games, so I had to think really hard about this. I needed to hit all the big pillars and have a mix of light, co-op and heavy. I have settled on Carcassone (I have the 20th Annaversary Edition) Catan Pandemic Ticket to ride (I have Europe but honestly America + the expansion is better) Small World (Of Warcraft) Viticulture (Essential Edition is a must) Marvel United Alhambra Scotland Yard Ark Nova (Terraforming Mars, Scythe or Wingspan might be better for some people in this slot) I recommend a Muchkin, Lets Summon Demons, a Fluxx, A Tiny Epic and Port Royal as small games to add to those 10.

Here are ten games I could see being a good way to start a collection depending on the gamer with the understanding that some of these might too pricy or intimidating for some while being a perfect early purchase to others. Carcassonne Ticket to Ride Azul Dixit Wingspan Pandemic/Wrath of Lich King/Clone Wars Zombicide* Takenoko Cartographers Santorini (2p) / Santorini NY (2p+) There aren’t any worker placement games on this list because I don’t think I’ve played enough good entry level ones to recommend. I love Viticulture and it might be a gateway for some but I have had poor luck introducing new people to it. Maybe I’d suggest Raiders of the North Sea.

But social deduction betrayal games were almost an “anti-gateway” to me on the other hand. I’d recommend them carefully because the ones I played almost scared me away.
