The last century of the BGG Top Games list was actually not too bad. Lots of nostalgic wargames for me, plus having played a few of the really cool games on the list. Still, the number of games played wasn’t the largest. Will this… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4201 – 4300”

If you’re experiencing deja vu with this post title, think of us poor Combat Commander ladder players! June’s game was the same scenario, but how the sides were chosen was different (and of course, the opponent would be different, most likely). Didn’t matter to… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 04 – Closed for Renovation (The Sequel)”

Another week and another look at the Boardgame Geek boardgame rankings! This time we’re moving further into the 4000s, and this is where you start finding the niche games that are really good, but not that many people know about them or play them.… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4101 – 4200”

We’re now starting to get into the 4000s in the Boardgame Geek game rankings, and while this century isn’t as bad as last week’s (though hopefully you think my post about it was A+, would highly recommend!), it is close. However, there are always… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4001-4100”

I know I’ve talked about expansions before on Friday Night Shots (both ones you won’t play again and whether or not you even like them to begin with), but a recent post on Boardgame Geek prompted another thought that I wanted to explore. Somebody… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Expansions Revisited”

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”

Sometimes history repeats itself from game to game, though not always to the same effect. Sometimes you surpass that historical result instead of being pummeled by it again! What am I talking about? Combat Commander, of course. Let me explain, after welcoming you to… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #21 Saint Agatha”

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”

One reason I love doing these Boardgame Geek century posts about games that are ranked fairly far down is that I get to explore games that are kind of outside the mainstream. And also, most likely, games that I haven’t played in quite a… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3601 – 3700”
