Professional comedians playing board games is a HILARIOUS concept 🤣🤣🤣 especially social deduction style games

Comedians playing games is an awesome idea! I really loved Tabletop for the bantering, etc. I'm excited to see what y'all come up with! ... Thank you for the list 🙂

"This is a top 10 list, but I cheated and have 11."

*Actually names like 30 games*

Not a complaint, by the way! The more recs the better!

The world needs this.

Thank you! Thanks to you I found two new cooperative games to play with my spouse, Chronicles of Crime: 1400 and Horrified D&D. Joy to you, sir :)

Interesting list. None of the titles mentioned would probably appear in my personal top 10 cooperative games. Mine would probably include board games such as Unsettled, Arkham Horror, Spirit Island, Robinson Crusoe, Eldritch Horror, Tainted Grail, Paleo, ISS Vanguard, Nemesis and, of course, the magnificent Kingdom Death: Monster. 🖤🖤🖤

Your upcoming show sounds epic.

What is also epic is that I saw your UKGE comedy event tickets just went on sale. I got the first two — one for me and one for one of my friends who I will put my puppy dog eyes towards to come out with me in the evening to see your show 🤘

So Clover! is the easiest new game I was able to introduce to my family. We all absolutely love it and there are always lots of laughs. We work hard at placing the cardsnon the board randomly without looking, so it really is a challenge sometimes to create a good clue 😁

Hi Grant, the only one of these I have played is LotR FotR A Trick-taking Game, so lots for us to try! Some of our favorite co-ops are Fate of the Fellowship, Vantage, Spirit Island, Forbidden Island and Kinfire Delve.

We're playing through Tidal Blades 2, around scenario #7, but it's going kind of slow because we're still coming down from the high that was Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread.
Our other favourites: Sky Team, Mechs vs. Minions, Pandemic Legacy, Vantage, Unsettled, Assault on Doomrock: Ultimate Edition, Too Many Bones, Space Hulk Death Angel, Just One, Marvel United, Fog of Love. I still need to play Spirit Island, Cthulhu: Death May Die, Fate of the Fellowship, Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood. Oh, and I should mention we just finished Cozy Stickerville with our young kids and it went over REALLY well - better than Zombie Kidz Evolution, for instance.

The comedians series sounds exciting & reminds me of Will Wheaton’s show. I am looking forward to it!

I started the hobby on fall 2025 and the first three games I bought were castle panic, chronicles of avel, and pergola. I have a 5 year old and 7 year old. And i definitely agree, that castle panic is the go to game lol however, my kids only wanted to play UNO for a while because they are vicious kids who like to inflict pain on others by dropping draw 2s and 4s lol

I played also Micromacro with them on our family trip to Tennessee two weeks ago and they loved it. It took a while to get the kids hooked on board games but this month, every time I get home from work, they ask me “can we play a board game?!?!?” Lol and they are now willing to try new board games 😭

I'm almost done with the Tidal Blades 2 campaign and I can tell you that it only gets better. Enjoy! Also, this new series about watching comedians play games sounds really fun. I'm looking forward to watching it.
