Start here if you’re new to board games #shorts

With so many board games coming out every year, it can seem daunting as to where to start or what to recommend to newer players. These three games are in my go to for new players because of five reasons:

1) They all support two players without significant modification of the rules.
2) They all support five to six players out of the box or with one expansion.
3) The rules are typically less than four pages.
4) The replay value is very high.
5) They have been in my collection for over 20 years and they aren't going anywhere.

Games in order of importance:
