Top 10 Board Games For Higher Player Counts

0:00 hello welcome back to the channel and this is a channel where we give you reviews playthroughs unboxings which i'm really like to talk a lot of bollocks about tabletop gaming in general and in this video we're going to be counting down our top 10 games for higher player council when we're talking about higher player accounts we're generally talking about games that require or are best suited for eight or more players if your favorite high player count game isn't on this list it's probably either because we haven't played it or we think it's [ __ ] so remember if you knew it and consider subscribing to our channel leave a comment in that section down below hit the like button and all that [ __ ] we'll see you after this

0:50 bollocks so number 10 on this list is a party game called wavelength wavelength is essentially a guessing game basically you'll be drawing a card from the stack and it will give you a spectrum of answers like hard to do too easy to do or for kids or for adults and then you'll give your teammates a clue based on the spectrum that you just said and then you'll use this really weird contraption to try and locate where your clue is on the target area right your team will dial in where they think the target area is and then you'll flip back the door on the contraption and you'll score points based on how close you are wavelength is a really innovative game it's wonderful for parties and big groups because it plays up to 10 players or even more if you want to it's one of the best party games that we've ever played and it's highly recommended by us that's wavelength that's our number 10.

1:53 so number nine on this list is a game that plays up to hang on i can't remember well the box says it plays up to 30 players but i mean we've never ever played it without many right but it's two rooms and a boom in this game you'll divide yourself out of two teams and you'll each be given a different role card two roles that are always in the game are the president and a terrorist and you'll choose a leader of the group and then after a certain amount of time you will exchange hostages in the center of the room or in somebody else or wherever you're playing it right the idea of the game is for the terrorists to be in the same room as a president and the other team's objective is to have the president in the other room away from the terrorists right so you don't get blown to [ __ ] there may be is a little bit too bloated with too many different roles and it can get confusing with first-time players i don't really know what to do once you're over the hump two rooms and a bum is a really really good party game for massive groups and yeah it's just a jolly good time to be had by all that's our number nine snowboarding on this list is a game that features some foam weaponry it's cash and guns there's two iterations of this as a first edition which was a little bit convoluted so they decided to chuck out some of the cards and make the second edition second edition has got some expansions that are allowed to play with more players and different variants as well first edition came with a yakuza expansion which added shurikens and like samurai saws and that

3:24 sort of thing right essentially what you'll be doing on your turn will be some loot in the center of the table and you will be playing cards that will say whether you're gonna shoot somebody or whether you're gonna put your gun down right and then once everyone's decided what they're gonna do you'll all take your gun and you will point at somebody and then you'll reveal your card and it will say whether you've actually shot them or not you all have an opportunity to back down and bottle it but if you decide to stay in then if you get shot you take a wound you're out of that round but if you don't get shot you will be able to take a portion of the loot that's on offer this game is really really funny because it's the only time when you get to actually point a gun in anger at your friends and family so yeah cash and guns plays up to 12 players i think if you want to get out your uzi nine millimeter and stick out your mom's nose and cash and guns it's definitely the game for you number seven on this list is a game that has seen more iterations than i've had lines of cocaine just kidding this game is werewolf whether you're playing ultimate werewolf traditional werewolf or the one night ultimate werewolf or all the different types of werewolf or god knows whatever types of werewolf there are this game is really good for massive groups because i think it plays up to like 90 players or something in the original werewolf you did need to have a moderator that would go around and take control of the game but now you've got one night ultimate werewolf where an app takes over that role right in well what you'll be doing you'll each be assigned a role and you'll essentially be trying to avoid the werewolves or expose the werewolves

4:55 right it doesn't really matter which werewolf game you play because they're all roughly the same but we prefer the one night almost well because it does away with that moderator and you can use an ipad or your phone to do that for you there's loads and loads of accusations flying around you'll be pointing fingers you'll be planting bombs under people's dining chairs and the game doesn't last that long well you're playing the one night i'm a werewolf so yeah if you're looking for a game that accommodates an astronomical amount of people if you're one of those socialites that has loads and loads of friends then this is going to be right up your back alley so next going on this list this is number six is a game that allows you to be nigel mansell or damon hill millennials are scratching their heads thinking who the [ __ ] is that but this game is formula d this is also the only game where you can race a [ __ ] ambulance formula d is a rolling move game yes i know it's a bloody roll remove game but the difference with this is that you'll be able to change up and down gears and roll a different die for each gear right you'll also have to make sure that you stop a certain number of times at the corners and it's just a case of the first person to cross the finish line will be the winner right formula d comes on these massive maps there's loads and loads of different maps available whether it be for the old edition formula day the french game or the new asthma day version and even that's roller move it's always a bloody good laugh right so yeah formula d plays out of 10 people and even though it's roller move it's definitely one of

6:26 the best racing games that we've ever played right so number five on this list is a game that not many people have actually played or heard of it's a game called blocky mountains this is a game that utilizes blocks and rope and it sounds really weird you'll use a scenario book to set up a different course and then you'll take the explorer the provisions disk and the bear and you will have to get from point a to point b by lifting up the explorer or knocking the provisions or dragging the bear over and through all these different types of terrain there's so many expansions for this we've got the scenario but we've got the slide expansion it's absolutely fantastic it plays up seven players it's one of the best dexterity games that you can get and if you can track it down this is an absolutely fantastic game it it goes real quick higher player cars as well and if you like dexterity games blocky mountains is a no brainer so number four on this list is a game that plays up to 10 players it's ladies and gentlemen in this game you will split off into two different roles you've got the ladies and the gentlemen first balls in the game is the gentleman will be off at the stock exchange trying to rip off their workers to get dividends to make money right and at the same time the ladies will be at the boutique buy dresses in the hope that they'll have enough dosh at the end of the day to buy these sweatshop mahid garments once everyone's done that you'll come back together and the ladies would have bought dresses the gentleman would have made some money and then you'll have to pay

7:56 off the bills right the gentleman will inspect what ladies have bought and they'll either tell the lady to put it back on the rail and bugger off or they will buy the garment at the end of the sixth round you will then have the ball where you will tile up all the points the ladies will add up all the elegance points they got from their cards and person with the most parts will be the winner of the game right this game has been criticized by some dumbos for being a bit sexist but what these [ __ ] don't understand is that this game is actually poking fun at the ridiculousness of the stereotypical roles of portrayed in society right so for that reason alone this game is worth a punt and if you're not interested in any snowflake crap then this game is also a ton of fun right there's this weird chaotic conflict going on between the ladies and the gentlemen sort of like real life in it but yeah if you can get 10 players together with us then you are going to have an absolute blast listen about trying to save money but also blow as much money as possible yeah ladies and gentlemen absolutely fantastic sort of hard to come by high play account game right next game on this list is a game that has been referred to as the best shouting game ever made it's panic on wall street in this game you will split yourselves into two different roles you've got your investors and the managers the role of each person is to make as much dosh as possible right you'll do this by investors buying stock from the managers the managers want to sell the stock for as much as possible the investors want to buy it for as little as possible the thing about this

9:27 game is once you have done all the negotiation board of stock then the market will be subject to different fluctuations so you might end up buying some stock that tanks real bad or you might end up buying stock where the value inflates it's a very very skillful negotiation going not only do you need to have a very big gob but you also have to be very astute and mindful about the way that the market works right it's one of the best high player card games that you can get i'm not sure if it's still in print you might have to dig deep to find this one but panic on wall street is definitely without doubt one of the best shouty games ever made so number two on this list is a dexterity game that's made out of wood it's pitch car in this game you will be constructing a track out of different bits of mdf you're putting together like a jigsaw and you'll be creating a track and then you'll stick your disc on the track and you'll flick it and the winner will be the first person to cross the finish line after a certain amount of designated laps right there are a few rules if the disc falls off the track or if it flips over or whatever don't like all that [ __ ] you can if you want to create the entire formula one season if you got enough bits and pieces right and if you got two sets this plays up to 16 players imagine that every year we still celebrate tabletop day even though it's not really a thing anymore and we always set up a massive pitch car track and we have everybody come around and play this game together right pitch cars one of the best dexterity games out there a little bit expensive

10:57 but it's absolutely worth it it's a game that you'll be playing again and again and again and if you're looking for a dexterity game that caters for huge amounts of people and it's always fun and it's got modular tracks it's never ever going to get old and pitch car is without doubt a no-brainer don't be a [ __ ] so number one on this list and our favorite high player count game is memoir 44 overlord basically in memoir 44 overlord you're going to be playing with four players on one side and four on the other side you'll be going off against each other on these huge double board scenarios there's lots of ways to play this you can either stick two balls together and construct the scenario yourself out of tiles that you get in the base game in the expansions or you can do what i do because i'm a lazy bastard and you can get some of the battle maps there's loads of battle maps available there's a sword of stalingrad there's the tigers in the snow disaster deer hedgerow hell the thing about the maps is that all of the terrain tiles are pre-printed on the map and all you've got to do is stick the units down right the way this works is you'll use a custom deck of cards there'll be a central commander who will be issuing orders to the field generals who will be sat in front of them right the trick about this is that on your turn the commander can only speak to one of the field generals the other two are sort of subject to the fog of war they don't really know what's going on so you'll be trying to complete these scenarios by getting different number of medals right memoir 44 overlord is without doubt our

12:28 favorite high player count game it really does feel like that you are locking horns in battle some people criticize it for being a little bit too random because it is dark spaced but i don't give a [ __ ] if you like memoir 44 and you do have at least seven friends or people that you can call friends then invite them around and play this game because you will have an absolute whale of a time no doubt about it so there you go that's our top 10 high play account games remember if you're new here please consider subscribing to this channel leave a comment in that section down below hit that like button and all that [ __ ] we'll see you next time
