2024 Board Game Holiday Gift Guide - Top 10 Games To Buy!

Ironically I was able to get a copy of LotR Trick Taking Game at PAX Unplugged, but I have still not been able to find For Northwood anywhere! I was hoping to pick that up at Unplugged as well, but no one had it. :(

I love that you didn't love Canvas at first and now it's made it on to so many of your lists XD It's gotta lotta good stuff going for it

You recommend for northwood, but i've been trying to find a copy of it for like a year and a half now with no luck.....

Combo is Surfosaurus Max reskinned. We have the latter and just recently have gotten it to the table. I really like it! It’s really nifty. Sad to see the quirky theming gone but I get that the Combo aesthetic is better in Barnes & Noble.

I'd personally go with Just One over So Clover. It's still co-operative, but there are so many words that just don't work together in So Clover that you often end up with one player sat there scratching their head while everyone else is already done. I do really enjoy both and they regularly fill time at the end of sessions, but for a gateway party game, I think So Clover just loses out. :)

Wait, what? Star Wars GraviTrax?!
Oh no. It's perfectly okay for a middle-age man, right? :)

Well, to be honest, 7 days before (christian) christmas is way too late for me and my brain to get any use of your guide. No idea about your intentions and schedule but for a big part of your audience this video is just wayyyy to late. I already got gift guides from 20 other channels and made my order. And yes, technically you got my click. But still I lost some trust in all ways. And I mean this in a 100% contructive way for your channel and job....

Also: get just one! It is WAY more universelly appealing than so clover. Trust me. I played both a LOT of times!

I ordered my slay the spire in late september, it arrived a week ago. Maybe it could make a nice valentines day gift, but christmas is definitely off the table

Buttons and bugs! Also a good stocking stuffer

This is 6-8 weeks late.

3 games in and you've hit three of the games i want to get for my lunchtime game group!

Thank you for the list Alex! Honestly though if you order something now it won’t have a good chance arriving before Christmas. Maybe for next year haha

Omg, his voice and fast talk turned me off from watching this video. I couldn’t focus. Too much going on.

Alex, I got For Northwood after you were so positive about it. I can only say you were right 👍 Though the cute theme belies the challenges in the game 😁

some nice games.

My 10 Recommandations would goes as this (in no particular order)

-Harmonies (or cascadia)
-LOTR Duel for Middle Earth
-The Gang (for the old poker players)
-Trio
-Castle Combo
-Astro Knights (or Aeon's End)
-Just One
-Pandemic Clone Wars (for SW fans)
-Heat (for those who likes cars)
