This list began with a desire to find cheap games which are highly ranked on BGG. All of the GeekLists I found on the subject were either out of date or not very systematic, so I decided to make my own. I have attempted to list all the games ranked in the top 1000 which are, more or less, readily available for $10 or under, not counting shipping. Alongside each game, I mention a store where it is available and the price. So, whether you are looking for that last game to round off your order or you're just strapped for cash, this list is for you. Feel free to leave comments about the individual games. By the way, this is my first GeekList, so I hope you enjoy it.

Cheapskates, unite!

 With the plethora of different ways Magic cards are sold these days, you can surely get enough cards to play a game for under $10, so it technically qualifies. But be warned: If you get hooked on this game, you will probably end up spending lots and lots of money on it. So, I wouldn't recommend it as a low-budget game. The same goes for most of the collectible games on this list.

This game does not belong on the list.



Wrong. "Ironman" is what I know the variant by and we all buy 1 starter deck, add some lands to it, shuffle and play. Usually it's 3 or 4 players attack to the right style and it works really well. When you get tired of playing with a 70 card deck you could trim it down to a standard 40 card "sealed deck". You could start a league or draft with the cards... etc, etc, and so on. So in conclusion "YES" M:TG deserves to be on this list.

You are absolutely right. Magic is neither good nor cheap and $10 isn't going to cut it unless you want to play the worst possible version of an average (at best) game.

Unfortunately your arguments (even in jest) for taking chess of this list don't make any sense. You get ALL the components of a game in any complete chess set, the quality of the components is the only difference and they don't affect play. With that argument you would have to compare a cheap chess set against the cheapest complete set of Magic (used or otherwise) how much would that cost you? For all the components (cards)...oodles more.

Chess is a much better game than Magic has ever been or will ever become.

I made a homemade copy of this before the English reprint of "Geschenkt" came out and I just add poker chips as necessary for the number of players. I do plan to buy the real version next time I place an order with my favorite on-line reseller because my card-stock version is hard to shuffle. It's a fun game. Our group calls it "Chip Whore" because that's what you need to be to win.

Standard Cribbage boards can accomodate playing to 181 points easily. Instead of going up and down the 60 pt track, simply take one more half turn up the track and finish at the top rather than the bottom.

If your board is the continuous 121 pt. variety, however, you have to end it, restart and play to 60 -- a bit less elegant.

Sticheln is a VERY good game. Another game that's underrated on BGG. It's cheap, has very interesting (can be vicious) game play... can accommodate up to 8 players and plays in less than an hour. It also has several variant rules which you can experiment with to see which game style you prefer.

It's one of those games that feels like a cross between a filler and a slightly meatier game. As a bonus... Sticheln cards are excellent to play around with to make prototypes of other card games.

Great bang-for-the-buck for under $10.

This is the first game I thought of when I saw this list. Played a couple of games last night. It came down to the Sheriff and Deputy v. one outlaw (I was renegade and already dead). Deputy puts out dynamite that makes one complete rotation around the table and then explodes on the Sheriff! The outlaw wins! We had a blast playing this very low priced gem.

Chinese Chess pieces almost always come with a paper or plastic folded board that is more than sufficient to play the game on. All the old guys in Hong Kong seem to play on those paper boards. You could spray mount the board onto posterboard, foamcore or masonite but it loses its portability. Instead get out a ruler and draw one yourself and keep the paper board for playing on the go.

That isn't accurate. Each Starter deck includes two 1500-point armies that can be built from the Starter and played against each other (sharing the Command Card deck). Not only is it possible for two people to play for one deck, we do about a dozen playtest matches with the quickstart armies to make sure that the matchup is both balanced and fun.

The only reason you "need" two Starters is if you want to play bigger armies, if you want to design your own armies, or if you don't want to play one faction against itself. All fine reasons, but not enough to make it necessary.

Best,
Chad

I on the other hand think it deserves an even higher rating on BGG which it would likely have if more people tried the game. It is at least as good if not better than other fillers that occupy higher slots on BGG. It's basically a fast playing "no luck" card game which is dead easy to play yet still is interesting and challenging.

Again a CCG.

In most cases I would say, you cannot play the game for just $10--your opponent is going to need a deck too, at least. And often you'll need many decks to get enough cards to cull a playable deck. (AFAIK, ME CCG is more playable than most straight out of a starter deck.)

Unlike magic, this game has a full solitaire experience. I learned a lot about Middle Earth and its people by playing this version of the CCG. I almost even won a couple times...

There's an episode of Spaced that sums up my feelings on Phantom pretty effectively. (Funny British show by the folks who gave us Shaun of the Dead.)

Looks like mostly card games, kids games, and cheap versions of classics. Sorry, but I didn't learn much from this list.


Ended up back at this list again and read my old comment - see self quote. I must have been having a really cranky day. Sorry. I retract this old comment. This is a good list.
