Top 10 Hidden Gem Games - The Broken Meeple
Рет қаралды 17,171
Күн бұрынTime for another Top 10! You'll get to see this during the Dice Tower Marathon at the end of November as well, but for those subscribed to the channel you can check it out here! However take note that my next Top 10 (Games of 2018 Retrospective) will premiere during the Dice Tower Marathon and then be uploaded to KZfaq on this channel about a week later.
For this list, I look at my collection and think of those games where I had no idea going in what to expect or would not have even looked at them twice normally, but yet became staples in my collection. Those "hidden gems" that you're glad you found that maybe others have yet to see.

Great list. I love seeing Dream Home get love. It’s one of my wife’s favorite games. And harvest dice sounds like a perfect stocking stuffer for the upcoming holiday season.

Nice list. I like your approach to hidden gems, and the fact that it's more about how you didn't know about them at first. I didn't realize Majesty had flown under the radar but you're right, and it still doesn't get much attention. It even gets dusty on my own shelf :p I should take it out again, I did quite enjoy that one! And I'd have to try out Innovation, I'm intrigued... You already sold me Coffee Roaster ages ago and I was so happy when it got a reprint, but then I heard about the app and now I'm still on the fence about it... The game is indeed a bit expensive. But if the app's not that great, it's also a waste of money... oh what to do, what to do!

Looking forward to Rome and Roll for an interactive roll and write. We hate draft too much to really enjoy Harvest Dice but it is a better roll and write than most of them.

I found the scoring wonky. Try and get the most of each occupation, but then also try and get all 7, so scores become too similar and it just became repetitive. Had it for a year, but couldn't find much support to get it to the table, so sold.

Out of curiosity, are you working on your American accent? ;) The words coffee, copy, cup etc... all have a distinctive and American "A" sound which is a little jarring set against your, presumably, British accent. The content here is good, though :)

Hard to think of Innovation as a hidden gem when it has over 13k ratings and has been in the top 300 games on BGG for almost a decade, but I suppose the list is games that were hidden to him, not necessarily hidden for the broader hobby.
@TheBrokenMeeple 4 жыл бұрын
If the list was only games with only a few ratings then literally every game would be some trash relic from forgotten times. Plus a hidden gem doesn't have to be hidden from everyone. Also as much as Innovation has ratings when was the last time you saw it in a game store or being played? In the UK it's practically non existent.
@Naledgeizpwr 4 жыл бұрын
The Broken Meeple that is really interesting. At the stores in Seattle, Innovation and its expansions are displayed in fairly prominent areas. Blue Highway Games and Mox Boarding House are pretty exceptional stores though.

And for myself and many others, they are. When was the last time you saw Innovation hit a table or a store shelf? Was Harvest Dice on your radar? Small Islands especially. Hidden is relative to the individual person.

Innovation is popular enough to get new reprints, though, and has half a dozen expansions. But it is for very special kinds of gamers, who adore the imbalance and weird mechanisms.
