In this video, the first of a four part mini series, we take you through ten games to start your board game collection with, starting with our top picks for beginner games!

If you're brand new to the board gaming hobby or have played some of the classics like monopoly or scrabble and don't know where to turn next, this is the video for you.

If you bought every game on this list you'd have something for all sorts of people and a great variety of games with different mechanisms, but all of them are easy to learn, easy to teach, and great for people newer to the hobby.

Once you're done here, check out the next parts in the series, the Intermediate, advanced, and expert games!

By the end of this series you'll have 40 games in different styles and complexities, and as you grow in the hobby, we hope that these videos can be a reference for more recommendations should you wish for more complexity.

But what do you think? Do you have any recommendations for new gamers? Let us know in the comments below! They must be easy to teach, easy to learn, and available to buy!
