Board game publishers are lying to you…and it's about the most crucial beginnings of a board game experience. How do you know the optimal player count for the game you’re going to play? When a box says the game can be played from 1-7 players, it seems unlikely that all of those would be optimal experiences. So here’s our list of some of the most egregious player counts printed on the outside of a box.

TimeStamps:
0:00:00 - Overview
0:01:56 - 10 Chris - Chinatown
0:05:27 - 10 Alex - Blood Rage/Inis
0:09:54 - 9 Chris - Inis
0:10:37 - 9 Alex - Caverna
0:14:39 - 8 Chris - Root
0:16:58 - 8 Alex - Onirim/Sprawlopolis
0:19:24 - 7 Chris - Ankh
0:23:43 - 7 Alex - Dice Throne
0:25:48 - 6 Chris - Brass: Birmingham

0:32:05 - 5 Chris - Barony
0:34:13 - 5 Alex - Too Many Bones
0:37:20 - 4 Chris - Massive Darkness/Zombicide
