My Top 10 Non Stonemaier Games That We May Have Published

In today’s video I revisit a topic from 4+ years ago about games from other publishers that for the core tenets of Stonemaier Games so well—and that I really enjoy—that we may have published them if we had the option. Some of these tenets/guidelines are: 2-5+ player count in the core game, smooth game flow, strong sense of progression, intuitive to learn and teach, low conflict, and including a featured component.

For this list I’ll only select games that weren’t on the original list, which was (   • Top 10 Games by Others That We Would ...   Tzolk'in, Mysterium, Orleans, 7 Wonders, Lords of Waterdeep, Architects of the West Kingdom, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Isle of Skye, Downforce, and Ra.
