For the first time ever, we are revisiting a past Top 10ish List topic, but this time with a special twist. Nick's real-life friend, Alex Johns, is back to see how much Nick remembers about the Top 10 Best-Selling Board Games of All Time (previously covered in Episode 116). But this time, board game super-nerd, Alex, has a corresponding list of better modern games as an alternative to each classic game from the Top 10. PLUS: fun facts and HOT TAKES about each game, why Life sucks, inventing board games, Nick sings Lizzo songs, how board game nerds rank all 22,000+ board games in history, how cavemen would react to board games, and MUCH more. Be sure to stay tuned after the board game discussion for a newly-unlocked bonus episode, previously only available to 10ish Pod+ members: the Top 10 Largest Objects in our Solar System. ---------------------------------------------- IMAGES: Alex's board game collection Don't Wake Daddy ---------------------------------------------- Here are the alternative board games we mentioned, in order: Lords of Vegas Banana Grahams RISK Legacy Secret Hitler On Tour Telestrations Half Truth That Time You Killed Me ---------------------------------------------- NEWSLETTER: https://www.10ishpod.com/newsletter REDDIT: https://www.reddit.com/r/10ishPod YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/10ishpodcast ---------------------------------------------- Sick of ads?
