Why No Modern Classics?

I talk about it some in the video, but a quick recap. Modern classics like Catan, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Small World, Carcassonne, and King of Tokyo are great. But you can find most of those without much problem. A lot of people who are interested in hobby gaming have already played the likes of Catan and Ticket to Ride, and the rest.

As a gamer, that means that I don’t need to do that work anymore. I don’t have to show people that next small step up from games like Clue, Scrabble, and more. People already know that next level of game, at least in name and a lot of time in play. So I wanted to make a list of other games you could get in front of people.

The Drink

So, from Sociable Cider Werks I had a dry apple cider. Now, it isn’t bad, but it isn’t great. Why, because it is too sweet for me. I went on a little bit of a rant how there are a lot of ciders out there that claim to be dry, but cider as a whole is so much sweeter now. I get that a lot of people like sweet ciders, but I like a really good dry cider that has a solid acidic bite to it. And this is a common issue, so not something that just Sociable Cider Werks has an issue with, but almost all cider companies do this.

The List

Alright, if you don’t have time to watch the video (please still give it a thumbs up), let’s see everything that made the list.

10. The Lost Expedtion

9. Homebrewers

8. Silver

7. Marvel United

6. Draftosaurus

5. Point Salad

4. Century Golem Edition

3. Potion Explosion

2. Sushi Go Party!

1. Sagrada
