  Setting someone up with Gloomhaven as a &quot;gateway game&quot; is a perfect way to make sure they never want to play boardgames again.

  I run a game store, and this aligns with many of our best sellers. &nbsp; The first thing we ask customers is how many players, and the most common response is along the lines of &quot;works well with 2 but can play with more&quot;.<br><br>However we ask about whom they will play with, as we know the person buying will like it but it&apos;s likely the person(s) they will play with probably won&apos;t.

  I don&apos;t have the Charisma score to convince a family of non-nerds to play Blood on the Clocktower.

  Heat, my beloved.<br><br>Also Root is definetly thr biggest Bait of all the games you showed. All the other games come in huge boxes with aggressive artstyles, while root comes in a mediums sized box that says &quot;friendly adventure&quot; to the unsuscpecting eye.<br><br>Now Root is one of my favorites, but I definitely wasn&apos;t ready the first time I joined the hobby. I was lucky I got Ticket to Ride that day instead.

  Can confirm Root’s placement. &nbsp;I got it and an expansion for game night without fully knowing what it was. &nbsp;5 hardcore gamers spent nearly 3 hours passing around rulebooks and letting one player get ahead because we missed a rule of their faction. &nbsp;Super fun! &nbsp;But not for a large group of beginners.

  I tried to get wingspan for my friends and they all quit because it was too complicated and it was very sad

  Spot on again as usual. &nbsp;Perhaps there’s a follow up video on “the set of entry level games to play to learn all the main board game mechanics”. &nbsp;Auctions, drafting, resource management, bluffing, probabilities, limited communication, deck building, rondels, press your luck, etc.

  In my opinion this list NEEDS Carcassonne. Carcassonne is such an amazing game, it&apos;s easy to learn, easy to teach, easily modular (if you have the big box or expansions), definitely my favorite game to play with people who doesn&apos;t play board games. Besides that I would also add Love Letter. <br><br>And definitely kick Catan out. It&apos;s Monopoly with extra steps.

  I&apos;m surprised Splendor and Splendor Duel aren&apos;t in the flowchart for 3-4 players and 2 players respectively.<br>Century: Golem Edition is also a good pick for 3-5 players.<br>Sushi Go Party, Bang!: The Dice Game, and Incan Gold are all easy to learn, fast, and support up to 8 players.<br>One day I&apos;d like to play Imhotep (which also has a Duel version).<br>If more people knew about BGG&apos;s &quot;Advanced Search&quot; feature we&apos;d never need this video.
