8 Favorite Board Games – Brooke

Our next favorite board games list is Brooke’s.

In looking over our video reviews, Brooke has done the most. When there’s a game she loves playing, she’s always quick to ask to do the video review of it.

One thing that was interesting to note in looking over Brooke’s list is that half of the games on her list are also on Mom’s Favorite Board Games list.

But lest you think it’s a case of “like mother, like daughter”, notice that other games on Brooke’s list are ones that mom can’t stand playing.

Games, Friends, and Luchador around the world

Since we starting doing board game reviews more than 6 years ago, our scope of contacts around the world has increased tremendously.

Not only have we worked with hundreds of global game publishers, but we’ve also heard from tons of parents and families all over the world. The vast majority of those are folks I’ve never met (nor anticipate having the chance to ever meet in person).

Rule The Undercity together!

The Undercity revolves around players working together to defeat the villains and achieve the scenario’s objective. While players can choose individual scenarios to play, the most fun is in going through all the scenarios/chapters as part of a campaign.
