Hey! I care. *puts hand on shoulder* I care. I don't agree completely with your list, but I care.

My girlfriend and I are also huge Agricola fans. We actually expanded out the card thing a little further. What we do is start with 10 of each card, and then discard 3 - so we still only have 7 to play with, but we can establish a tighter strategy this way and experience a larger # of cards overall - and if we get stuck with a bum card or two it's not so bad, because we can discard them.

It's nice to finally find a KZreadr whose focus isn't primarily theme. I love that you unashamedly list Euros in your top 10 because those are my favourite kinds of games too. I love playing games where my decisions REALLY matter. I don't think it's a bad thing when a game is designed in a way that the best player will almost ALWAYS win, but I've seen people say that's bad design.

Please do the 7 Wonders 2-player Run-Through! We have heard so many opposing views of how the 2-player variant and just cannot decide whether we want to get it. So please, OH PLEASE! do a run-through!

I love that these games aren't about 'tearing other players down'. That's one of my only peeves about a lot of competitive games. I'm a big fan of co-op stuff. Thanks for the tips, definitely added some games to my wishlist. I may possibly be the only person in the world who actually hasn't played Seven Wonders O.o

Richard well bloody done. I actually love relaxing to your videos, and I have literally bought 10 games based on your preferences and your playthroughs! Well bloody done big lad. Keep it up. Yours. Your biggest Irish fan!

I'd love to see a 7 Wonders play through! We also are a 2-player household and I've been interested on the game for a long time but always heard/read it was not good with 2 players. Thanks!!!

Great video, and another vote here for a runthrough of 2-player 7 Wonders. We own the base game but it hasn't come out as much as I'd like since I have only 2 players 90% of the time.

My top 10 1. 5 Tribes 2. Terraforming Mars 3. Champions of Midgard 4. Istanbul 5. Islebound 6. 7 wonders 7. King of Tokyo 8. Clank! 9. Above and Below 10. Seasons

Radho, I truly enjoy all your videos. I would highly suggest linking your spoilers to actual time stamps in your video. It would make going back and forth in the video effortless and amazing. Cheers!

You should do a top 10 non-building game list.

Very good list. I think your best take on 'Why' these games are on your top ten. Thank you.

great top ten mr richard. found out I was developing similar taste in board games and this list helped me put keyflower and troyes on my must have list. also, really curious about dungeon petz. very strange this vlada chvatl.

Troyes, one of the most underrated games!!! Thank you Richard.

My daughter and I also very much enjoy "building" games. We played Ora and Labora not to long ago and her comment after the game was about how much she enjoyed seeing her little plot of land grow into such a big town. I would love to see the 2-player version of 7 Wonders, Richard. I really enjoy that game, but almost never have 2 other people to play it with.

+1 for the 2-player run through of 7 wonders

Lol... Richard: "Let's see if I can get through this video in TWENTY minutes!" Me: *laughs to self and looks at the time of the video - 45+ minutes* Me: "Yup, that's about right." Don't sweat it, people watch you for the exuberant ramblings. The crazed enthusiasm helps me stay awake at work.

Rahdo...first off, love your work! Also, great comment about using a verb to describe a game...that's brilliant! To offer a better perspective on your comment of Nations (about destroy vs. build). I can appreciate your love of building. I think many also share that desire to create. The notion to destroy is a test to see if one's work is the best. There are many ways to gauge this...but at the very core of that is this: Does the work that I created able to BEST what someone else created? I think THAT is how many gauge that, especially in entertaining fronts like board games. I only say this as one who's preferred verb is 'destroy'. Not mindlessly or for the sake of destruction...but to give merit to one's creation. I think our mutual fondness of the game "Stronghold" is a perfect example. Thank you for what you do and keep up the great work!

After watching this and some of your runthroughs, i`m a born again eurogamer. Just ordered Keyflower, Castle of Burgundy and Troyes. Thanks Rahdo:)

I just discovered your series of runthroughs a few days ago, and I'm enjoying them very much!

Hehe, both the games you mentioned have way to much aggressive gameplay for us! :)

We tried dungeon petz online after your recommendation, but my wife didn't care for it at all. She didn't like that her animals never stayed around that long. She does like Castles of Burgandy.

The brilliance of 7 Wonders is that the game doesn't get any longer with more players (unless one is AP). VERY clever. Also, I agree with your assessment that it's a good 2 player game because having the 'neutral' civ adds decisions to each player throughout the game, and makes for a neat give and take mechanic, and lets you take cards out of the pool from your opponent. Very fun and clever.

I know what u mean by elegance. In addition, I think its a huge accomplishment by feld to limit your choices. In so many games, you are overwhelmed with thousands of possibilities to place your workers. Feld almost always limits you by throwing dice, or using some other mechanism to limit your opportunities to maximize your success. some think that is a bad thing. I think its great because even those "5-7" choices can be so crucial. sry for my grammar. greets from Germany ;)

You know, we don't line up completely, but I will say that if I find a game I love that no one seems to talk much about, you seem to really like it. I still haven't figured out how Dungeon Petz can be so good, be ranked so high on BGG, and you seem to be the only playthrough/review guy who even talks about it. I couldn't even find a video review of Dark Alleys (as you say, you aren't a reviewer, I did appreciate your playthrough video, so thanks for that :P) And then seeing you mention the 11-20 on Reddit, Space Hulk: Death Angel is my go to for a game to stuff in a bag when I'm going somewhere overnight and don't have much space.

I just played Nations recently for the first time and i too got the impression that military is very important. It determines the player order which means that you can take away cards from players that have weaker military, it enables you to get colonies, it enables you to wage wars against other players and who knows what other benefits it gives. There is also honestly no way, that i can see, to negate the effects of war effectively except going for military strength as well. When a player with a strong military buys a war, you as a player with low military will lose at least one victory point and some resources, maybe up to 10 food or ore. It's insanity. Yes, you could negate the effects a little bit with stability but there aren't enough cards that give you stability reliably. I was also honestly shocked at how similar it is to Through The Ages. Yes, there are differences, like more wars for example. I'm not against replicating things, building upon things, quite on the contrary but Through the Ages isn't objectively better. It's also not different enough, not innovative enough to warrant a seperate game i feel. But then again i haven't played the two games all that much anyway so maybe i don't know what i'm talking about. I'd play both Through The Ages and Nations but Through The Ages i like a little bit more, if only because it was there first.

I cannot agree with you more regarding your hatred of building something only to have it torn down for someone else to win. I love when a game provides enough challenge that it tries to tear me down, but not when the whole point of the game is to rip each other apart. My one exception to this thought is Game of Thrones. But that is because you can score in other ways and through subterfuge still win without being the most aggressive. Great List

Yep! Just because the game recommends you get a bit of everything doesn't mean you absolutely must in Agricola. You can definitely decide to say fuck sheep or forget growing wheat. My girlfriend and I have played 30-40 times as well and we constantly come up with new and interesting combinations.

Rahdo, have you ever tried dead of winter? its a co-op, which is my fav kind (i love it when we work together instead of against each other) but i do know what you mean about it just crapping on you over n over again and DOW has that in spades. But i still love it, it takes the castles of burgundy's use-your-dice-as-actions mechanic and drops it in a zombie apocalypse (which actually works really well with the bombarding beat down it dishes out). i only ask cus i cant find anything you have done on it and its like my fav!!

I actually think 7 Wonders is a terrible seven player game and a better (although still not ranked highly on my list) 2 or 4 player game. Everything you said about "I want this card, but if I give my neighbor this card it's better for them..." goes out the window with a 7p game, because you simply can't control the rest of the table like that in a big game. You're only affected by 1/3 of the other armies, you CANT build sub-optimally just to stop one other person from building optimally, because both of you will lose to the other five - the depth of strategy for seven players is basically focus on one thing, get them all, and hope no one else decides to pick the same track; with less people, you can actually pick more than one track, interrupt others tracks, there can be tension with army builds.

@rahdo

i would agree with that 100%, though i don't think that makes it less fun with 7, just a different experience. i really enjoyed playing with a large group and waiting to see if that card that I know someone across the table needs makes it over to him, and shouting (good naturedly) at everyone between him and me "how could you let him have that??!" and them shouting "how could you!?" good times... definitely less strategic, but still a lot of fun :)

your channel is uber informative but your political commentary on games which involve conflict is tiresome ... not sure why it is repeated constantly to the point of possible tunnel vision

every time i make a new video, there's going to be hundreds of watchers for whom it will be the first vid of mine they've seen (with a vid like this, it could be thousands), so i try to explain where i'm coming from and what my preferences are, so they can better judge for themselves what i'm talking about :)

I always find it interesting to hear, and I do think it's important to state where you're coming from in a video all about your personal opinions. People have such wildly different things they look for in Board Games. My tastes are almost polar-opposites to Richard as I love direct confrontation with other players, but knowing what he enjoys, I can still gleam things that I would like from games on his list.

Meh. Eurocentric top 10s of all time are not for me. I subscribed to the channel and I assume I will unsub shortly. I was hoping for more varied play throughs.
