For the first time ever, we are revisiting a past Top 10ish List topic, but this time with a special twist. Nick's real-life friend, Alex Johns, is back to see how much Nick remembers about the Top 10 Best-Selling Board Games of All Time (previously covered in Episode 116). But this time, board game super-nerd, Alex, has a corresponding list of better modern games as an alternative to each classic game from the Top 10.
PLUS: fun facts and HOT TAKES about each game, why Life sucks, inventing board games, Nick sings Lizzo songs, how board game nerds rank all 22,000+ board games in history, how cavemen would react to board games, and MUCH more.
Be sure to stay tuned after the board game discussion for a newly-unlocked bonus episode, previously only available to 10ish Pod+ members: the Top 10 Largest Objects in our Solar System.
