Top 9 Games YET to hit the top 100

Excellent video. Love the stats breakdown. One of the best newer boardgame channels I've come across. Editing and production value off the scales. Subscribed

Great video! Production is really good, and I also loved the in depth analysis of the rating data 👌

my dude... THIS was awesomely made content, I love your insight, the way you explain things, I can't believe I hadn't come across your channel sooner, here looking forward to all your future videos, cheers!

Very well done video. I am allways interested in BGG #100 videos.

Great production, I had no idea how the BGG rating was calculated, thanks for explaining!

Nice video. I think Sky Team is gonna make into the top 100 really soon. A game that is getting a lot of hype is Harmonies, I guess this one will make into the top 100 as well.

John Company is a masterpiece at a level that transcends most boardgame design. Regardless if it is to your taste, it is an important entry for the boardgame medium of artistic creation.

I was just thinking of doing this sort of analysis. You should make a video like this every other year. There will be a new crop of games pushing to crack the top 100 and you could check in on the previous list to see how high they got in the BGG rankings. Great job!

Ticket to ride legacy is going to go through the roof!

Great video and well thought out! I was surprised I'd only played Dune Imperium: Uprising from your list. I have played TTR, Pax Pamir, Terra Mystica, Gaia Project, GTW, Hegemony... I really want to try Voidfall and Age of Innovation from your Hidden Gems 👍

Love the effort put and thought given to this topic. Maybe you could do something similar to find hidden gems outside top 100? By that I mean games that will likely never get anywhere near the top 100, but are gems nonetheless.

I know all of those covers even if you blur them out 😂

Maybe not something everyone else would appreciate, but I love the metrics you use how you explain them. My one criticism on the year released (and one you address in when discussing exceptions) us print run and availability. Maybe there’s data to prove me wrong but I imagine there are some great games out there that have limited print runs and take a while to get a second edition out. Or games that may get a second life because of an expansion a year or two later. Something like mythic mischief or earthborn rangers could fit in that category. Also just saw an earlier video saying you weren’t feeling well. Glad to seeyou feeling better.

Of the games you didn’t mention I think Revive (#108), Clank!: Catacombs (#125), Sky Team (#127), White Castle (#179), Nucleum (#274), and Wyrmspan (#354) have the best shot. I thought Earth was in the top 100 already and was surprised to find out it’s “only” #188 and so I was going to include that one too, but then I saw its average rating is fairly low (7.7) and the distribution doesn’t look particularly promising, with more 7s than 9s.

Gaia Project is a better game than Age of Innovation because Gaia Project got rid of the "bad" stuff from Terra Mystica, while Age of Innovation still has them.

Pretty sure, out of the 42 other people, that I play with. I am the only person that has a BGG account and rates games.

Iss vanguard was a great story and wonderful experience, but the gameplay got really boring after a while. I actually just played the last 4 scenarios as a sort of choose your own adventure style, using the board and cards, but ignoring the dice and hazards completely. I wanted to finish the story, but didn't want to spend another 12+ hours on dice checks. I think it is a great idea for a game, but after 10 games, I found the dice mechanism to get stale, and that's the mechanical core of the whole thing. I loved the ship phase, and would gladly play a whole story campaign that revolved around that. If you are going to play it solo, I'd suggest focusing on finishing the campaign, rather than unlocking everything you can find. If you are still loving it towards the end, go back and explore more, but the story is worth going through.

I thought Dune Imperium integrates all the expansions, rather than ‘most’, there are only 2! Great set of analytics and a super narration of the review. Thx!

May not be the exact same as playing in person, but people do run Blood on the Clock Tower games online, so you could try it out that way

Interesting video. I play a lot of games solo, and I can honestly say I find Voidfall easier to solo than ISS Vanguard. Once you have played Voidfall a few times then it really is slick, whereas I found ISS quite clunky and tough to solo even with only two crew members.
