So, this is continuing the series I started last week. I thought with board games that it might be different. But it is very much the same, I want a 2nd edition of some of these games, maybe they didn’t work quite perfectly. I’d love to see another game set in the same world in other cases. Or it might be that I just want to get more for the game. I love it so much that I just want more stuff for the game.

Top 5 Board Games I Want More Of

5. Blood Rage

Blood Rage is at the bottom of the list, even though I love the game. Mainly, because I have heard rumors that there is going to be more Blood Rage coming, and that is exciting. Blood Rage is an area control game that is really more about the drafting of cards and action point management versus the area control.

From what I’ve heard, this is going to be a 2nd Edition of Blood Rage. I’d love to see the game come with a bit more variety in it. While I do think that the drafting changes up each time, the number of cards is a bit limited. Maybe make the pool you draft from modular or something like that. Just something to make it a bit more replayable, even though I still generally want to play it. So even unique clan powers to start, something like that.

4. Roll Player Adventures

This is also lower on the list because I need to finish the whole game first. But I want more and I already know that I want more for this big box choose your own adventure style game. I’d love something that maybe even offers a bit more of that in the game. But I don’t want a whole new version of the game.

While I do not know how the story ends, I can imagine that it’d be somewhat easy to add in another campaign. Even if you wanted to add in more items, titles, secrets, bad guys, things like that, it’d be less than sending out a whole big box again. So an expansion with even more story would be great.

3. Dead of Winter

This, I think, might make a lot of gamers lists who have been in the hobby for a little bit. Dead of Winter is a game that really helped me get into the hobby. And I really like the crossroads system and the zombie survival nature of the game. However, no matter the length of scenario or which one you pick, the game is long and what you do isn’t that different.

So I would love to get a second edition of Dead of Winter. Streamline it a little bit, maybe even make it fully cooperative like they did with Forgotten Waters. And keep each game shorter. They’ve done more story driven crossroads systems games now, so it feels like Dead of Winter should be great to go again. But I doubt it will happen, or if it does, don’t know how it will as Plaid Hat left it behind at Asmodee.

2. Paper Dungeons

Probably one that makes a lot of sense if you’ve watched me play on Malts and Meeples. I really enjoy Paper Dungeons, but I just want more. I want a way to play more of a campaign. And I want my changes in the campaign to actually matter. Like, I want to keep some things that I leveled up or built, but the monsters to get harder.

I’ve talked about this one a lot. But the game feels like they took it down to just a little bit too little. Some extra piece of variability, especially for the solo game, would be fun. Or, even, with those personal goals that you go for, make them worth more. Maybe it could use a second edition, as well, but a bigger better campaign and expansion is what I want for Paper Dungeons.

1. The Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game

Another one that I really like, but it bounces around a lot for me. I understand why this is not a game that more people like, because it is highly mechanical. So while the theme is there, if you know the books, it makes it harder for a game for casual fans. You can tell that there should be theme there, but it isn’t that obvious.

What I want is another Dresden Files board game. It doesn’t need to use the same system, there is just a need for another game. One that really dives into the theme and world that is the Dresden Files. It doesn’t even need to be about Harry Dresden or the main characters from the Dresden File books. But a game set in that world of magic, crime, and monsters, that’d be awesome.

Final Thoughts

I probably could come up with a few more games as well. But these are the five that really jumped out at me that I wanted more of, or a newer version of. I think for the odd numbered ones, more, at least in their world, would help me get them to the table a lot more. And newer editions for games that might be modern classic, but could use a refresher. Then, there are some games that I just want more of.

But let me know what game you’d like to see get a 2nd Edition, or maybe a new game but in a world that you already know?
