Chances are you've played a Gateway game before, you the one - light enough to introduce inexperienced new players, fun enough to show them what the hobby is all about and engaging enough to keep them coming back for more and really start exploring all that board gaming has to offer.
But not all Gateway games are created equal and so in this video I would like to take a little bit of your time to go through the ones I consider to be the best available.

No Thanks is an excellent game for new players. I got Stone Age on my list for gateway games, people usually love it, and it got a bit more "meat" too it than they are used to, without being too complex. Biblios is also excellent, but hard to come by these days... A great gateway game = make the majority of those that try it want to experience board games more regularly.

Great suggestions! I have No Thanks on my Top 10 Filler Games and completely agree, it goes down great even if a person has never played a game before

@@GemsBiscuits What you/we want to create is the feeling: "Hmmm, yes this was really fun/interesting, guess I want to do this more often."

@@diamondmeeple Absolutely! I learnt that pretty quickly when I tried to introduce some friends to gaming with Scythe - it was way too complex for that and not a pleasant experience for anyone involved 😅

@@GemsBiscuits The thing is... any game can be a "gateway game" to somebody... even a complex game. I got 635 games, however I have no interest in even trying Scythe... based on how the game works. I focus in general on games with "little" rules and high skill agency.

Not actually had a chance to play it! By the time I got into board gaming no one was bringing it to meet ups anymore so it kinda passed me by, definitely one I need to check out though!
