Pro Tip: if you buy 6 Nimmt (or Take 5), you can play The Mind & No Thanks with it. You just need to make counters/shuriken with paper or pennies. You can also play The Game with it. It’s basically 4 games in 1. TLDR: buy 6 Nimmt, you get 4 games in 1

The fact that I'm Italian and a lot of this games comes out without a complex rulebook and so I can Explain them to my parents so easily Is A Blessing. Always a Great Job. (Sorry for my bad english)

Ok, you pulled me in and I bought 6 Nimmt after watching this. I’ve resisted buying games, but you got me with how cheap it is. Cost me just over $10 here in the states, but that’s still a good deal for a game that sounds as fun as this does.

Great list! I'd also have to include Phase 10 !

2 years later and I now own 8 out of 10. Fun story, we got Hanabi after watching this video just to find out we already owned a copy. Makes it a great game to take out, don’t really have to worry about it when I have a backup

Great list, and agree 6 Nimmt is one of the most addicting card games - I've been playing it a lot on BoardGameGeek but is fun for light game players and heavy game players.

Thanks for the list. This was the first I'd heard of Bandido. Bought it and have enjoyed it both solo and with my brother-in-law. Ahh, lockdown.

Love Bandido soooo much

Oh man, glad to see Hanabi getting some love. As for cheap games, I dig Scrimish, Gloom, and 12 Days.

My daughter and I played 6 games of Bandido tonight. AWESOME game. Thanks for the recommendation.

2:15 Never knew that you know My Hero Academia that’s awesome dude.

Just bought 4 of these, great start to my board game collection

Watched this and purchased 6 Nimmt as a result. What an absolute blast that simple little beauty is, played for the first time last night and loved it. Cheers guys, love the channel (having binged all your videos), loving your recommendations.

Definitely a few on this list I’m considering picking up now. Honestly one of the best cheap games we’ve picked up was Pass the Pugs (or Pigs depending on which version you buy). Very straight forward, a bit of luck/pushing your luck to it but great fun.

Great list, & also good to know why Adam left Draughts & rejoined the IWC, those Jenga towers that he's evidently not quite over yet.

Sushi go is amazing! I keep hearing about no thanks and will grab it shortly.

5:24 I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MARCUS

I totaly recomand you Tichu! Its a 4 Player game with 2 Teams and a realy nice trick game you have pokercombinations and 4 specialcards and its a lot of fun we play this years and still get better.

Hanabi is awesome! Also, there used to be a company called cheap-ass games, whose whole schtick was that you didn't get the dice and little plastic pieces, etc... just the board and/or cards and the rules, making it easier to keep costs down. Give me the brain! was my favorite.

From the same makers of the Cockroach Poker game, you can also get Anxiety In A Box! a.k.a. The Cheating Moth. Pretty much a variation of Uno that encourages you to cheat in any way you can. Be it by hiding your cards, forcing them on other people, sneakily returning them to the deck, dropping them off the table, etc. It starts off very tame, but after just a few rounds you'll start noticing just how far people will go to win when there's no rules to restrain them.

The Mind is not a game. It is a deck of numbered cards that people have found an infuriating activity to do with.

Wonderful list. Only Bandido is not already in my collection, but I've added it to a want list. I can certainly second a majority of these. Cockroach Poker, No Thanks!, and 6 Nimmt! have been go-to games for me and my friends for years (along with Las Vegas). Rhino Hero and Hanabi still get played quite a bit. The Mind is supposed to be arriving for Christmas last week....

Some more for the list- all the travel versions of classic games. Normal packs of cards Do pinch-an-inch at your local to create 2 decks for a TCG from the chaff box Ramen Fury - set collection where you can spoon things to and from other ppls bowls. Roll for It - like fun yahtzee. Zombie Dice - push your luck dice rolling. Claim - deckbuilding trumps Star Realms - deck building space wars

Games added to the Christmas Lists. Last year we picked up the game “Nine To Nothing” that featured on “Buy It Now For Christmas”. Since then I’ve spent entire sessions on numerous times with After School Clubs hunting for a winner.

Port Royal is my absolute favourite cheap game, with lots of strategi, player interaction and definitely some luck! 8€ on Amazon👍 Santo Domingo could also be in this list?

Adam can you please do the top worker placement games!!

You should make a list about card games.

The best rules to use with Uno are 7s and 0s (aka if you play a 7 you have to swap your hand with someone and if you play a 0 everyone passes their hand on to the next player. It doesn't mess with the game's playtime but adds an extra layer of strategy and rage)

Have you played Zombie dice? Its a few-minute rules-light game that usually in the 10-15 dollar range and very fun to play

As we're in Lockdown 2: Electric Avenue any chance of solo games suggestions? Enjoying Hit Z Road and hating/loving 40k: Death Angel as is so savagely brutally difficult but compelling however think a solo game vid would be great at the mo' for us who're not lucky enough that our "social bubble" are not getting on board with gaming :-(

Great list. I agree with the whole lot. The only I don't have is Bandido...and it's on my to-buy list. I played so much 6 Nimmt! in University. Such a good game.

Instead of Uno, we prefer Blank. It plays like Uno with some extra rules and then when someone wins, they write in rules on cards. It's like... Uno Legacy in a way.

Hey! The cheapest I found Bandido is $12.99.

2:19 is that the love of my life, Ryan Stiles?

id add saboteur and illusion also

2 of these games I saw on the anime after school dice club and we bought one of them because of it.

I enjoy all of those games, except for Bandido (I am not a small child), and Uno (maybe the game would be okay with people who don't insist on playing with horrible rules, but I will never find out!) Have you ever played Wonky? It's like Uno, but you're stacking a Jenga tower (don't worry, the blocks aren't made of Loud), and unlike Uno, you can play almost any card in your hand on any turn.

love it !

No Thanks! is £22 at the moment, drat! Think I'll still get it though

Looks like you have played Sushi Go as much as we do. You cards look worn from play. That is GREAT SIGN of a VERY GOOD GAME!!

Marcus Returns to a massive pop from plumpys fans from the whatculture days

You should do games that you can play online/via zoom/physically distanced

Don’t forget about challenging cards in Uno when a draw 4 is played

I'd rule out Sushi Go, just because I feel like it's worth the extra to go for Sushi Go Party (the board to track the score and greater variability more than justify the decision). Still don't care for Uno, I preferred a homebrew version played at school with a regular deck of cards that allowed you to lay down sequences - it made picking up extra cards sometimes rewarding as you could possibly lay down huge numbers of cards with a bit of planning. Not sure I can easily pick out alternates for them though as most of the better budget games I know are in the £10-20 range (the Oink games for example). Even Welcome To The Dungeon has an RRP of £13. How much of this list would stay the same if you did a sub £15 top 10? Star Realms, Coup, Welcome To The Dungeon, Dobble, Air Land and Sea, Fake Artist Goes To New York, Anomia... There are a number of games there that would be contenders. Maybe worth doing a £10-£20 list? Rhino Hero is excellent, it's probably between that and Hanabi which of this sub $10 list is my favourite.

Not sure if it’ll qualify price wise but I think you’ll enjoy parade a lot if you enjoy 6nimmt.

I have played 6 Nimmt! 2300 times on boardgamearena. It's addictive.

See Adam, I told you I would watch.

I’ve only played UNO once. I was on holiday with my partner and her family they told me these long and confusing set of rules, not at all close to what Adam just said. This saw me picking up more cards than I could put down and lost by a lot. Which felt more like everyone sat at that table was a loser after a couple hours. Maybe the actual rules are fun.

For a second there I thought this video was opening with the JFK footage. 😂

Only game I can think of that isn't in this video and less than 10 bucks is Saboteur, and you covered that in another video. An extra couple of bucks gets you Bang: The Dice Game, which is also great and also could have been covered in the social deduction video, or Paku Paku which is a fun and fast dexterity game. Some Topic ideas for videos: Best games with campaigns, Best games with Miniatures, best games to play with kids, best deckbuilding games, best "mikado" games (like Men at Work or Tokyo Highway). Also, I have a friend that really likes dice games. I personally don't really like dice as part of game experience outside of really fast party games, because Dice are inherently random and are rarely used with mitigation. So maybe a video on how much randomness should be in a board game could be a good topic.
