 Top 10 board games of all time 1. Arkham horror the cad game Why is this my number one? I know this is crazy but when I first got this game I didn’t like it at all I thought that it was way too hard and I didn’t like that if you failed a scenario you don’t get to retry it. It took me a very long time to realise that that was the whole point of the game it wasn’t supposed to go well  and you weren’t meant to win every time you were meant to experience the story that you created through failing scenarios and refusing to help characters. Once I got that into my head I started to enjoy the game so much more, I no longer felt sad about a failed scenario instead I was exited to sea how not doing well would change the game.  This game is 100% my favourite game of all time I never see this game falling from my top 10 list this is a timeless classic that each and every tabletop gamer should experience. 2. The adventures of Marco Polo  This was the first heavyish euro game I...

You start with a hand of cards that depends on what hero you play as and on your turn you play one card from your hand onto the table and draw one card from your prebuilt deck. I got this game recently and I absolutely fell in love, its cast of heroes feel just as real as any superhero from a comic book series by marvel or dc. They can create such a real feeling cast by adding incredible flavour text throughout the rule book and cards which involve all the characters interacting with each other and also shows their interactions with the enemy’s. I find my self picking t...
