We’ve reached the 4000 mark in the BGG top ranked games list, and this century I have to say is one of the worst as far as my familiarity with any of the games goes. We haven’t hit the “I don’t know any of… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3901-4000”

As we go deeper into the Boardgame Geek game rankings, it’s almost like going deep, deep underwater. Sometimes there’s something truly beautiful down here, like some full-coloured coral in bloom that is just an amazing sight. And sometimes you get a few rocks.

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”

Sometimes life just hands you an impossible task and you have to do your best at it, even knowing that you’re probably screwed. Sometimes wargames are like that!

One of these days, I’m going to learn that doing these Boardgame Geek century posts too early is possibly going to cause a rip in the space-time continuum, like what’s happening right about now. What, you didn’t feel that? We’ve all traded places with… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3301 – 3400”

A short turnaround time after the last post about this, mainly because that post was late! We’re actually getting into sections of the Boardgame Geek rankings where there are some good games that don’t deserve to be this far back, and that is the… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3201 – 3300”

There were no conventions attended in May, but there was a 14-hour games marathon where a bunch of games were played. So I knew this would be a lengthy post! This month, I actually played more new to me games than I did in… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2026”
