Even closer to 5000 on the Boardgame Geek ranking system, the pickings of played games are getting slim! Not so slim that it would keep me from doing another in this series of posts, because it’s so goddamned fun to talk about games, both… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4801 – 4900”

We’re halfway through the 4000s in our weekly look at games on the Boardgame Geek top games list, and things are looking up again. Slightly. Last week, I had only played two of the games in that century and I was beginning to despair… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4401 – 4500”

Welcome to another look at a century of Boardgame Geek game rankings!

Some of these “top BGG Games” posts are a little lean on games that I’ve played, though I really enjoy that because we can then spend more time talking about games that it would be cool to play! If there are any in that… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3701 – 3800”
