The Loopįinal girl was my favorite game last year. You might also like: As an Alternative, you might want to try Pandemic Legacy Season 0.

If you know Pandemic, Pandemic legacy won’t be a huge surprise in terms of gameplay, but it adds an exciting campaign, playing over 12 to 24 scenarios, with lots of surprises and twists.

Last but not least, this list was also published in video format on YouTube in a series of 4 videos, if that’s more your thing: I’ve tried to be as objective as possible, while still weighing in a bit for games I personally really enjoy. As a result I’ve included games that I myself don’t like, but that I think deserve to be in a list of “essentials”. I’ve also tried to include a variety of genre and gameplay mechanics.

You won’t find expensive out-of-print Kickstarter stuff in there, my personal opinion being that if a game is out of print or basically impossible to find at a reasonable price, it is not essential.
