    Every game needs a Yugioh-style dueling contraption for your arm so you can game on the go. Gloomhaven would double as a workout. Just imagine how juicy those biceps would get after losing the first scenario for the 10th time on regular difficulty.

    5:35 - Friesematenten (2010, Friedemann Friese, Amigo)

    9:51 - Shikoku 1889 (2004, Yasutaka Ikeda, Grand Trunk)

    16:21 - Brian Boru High King of Ireland (2021, Peer Sylvester, Osprey)

    22:36 - DVONN (2001, Kris Burm, HUCH!)

    100 games before you die:

    26:28 - Terraforming Mars (2016, Jacob Fryxelius, Stronghold)
