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”

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”

No time warps this time, hopefully. There wasn’t last week, anyway. Yes, doing these centuries (that’s 100 games for those who have been wondering) of Boardgame Geek game rankings have been really interesting and fun to do. But writing them ahead as I do,… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3501-3600”

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”

It’s June, so it must be time for the 2nd annual Bottoscon Spring convention! Bottoscon is a convention created and run by (though the running of it is helped by numerous other people as well) Rob Bottos, a great guy who looks out for… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Spring 2026 Retrospective”

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”

It’s been over a week since the last Boardgame Geek century post, but last week was pretty full and I didn’t want to oversaturate the market. I didn’t want my readers to be overwhelmed with awesomness. But we’re back now, looking at another century… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3101 – 3200”

May was a busy month! I mean, not March busy, but definitely better than April busy. There was a 14-hour boardgame marathon where I ended up playing 8 games a total of 14 times. Just in one day! Then a couple of Sundays had… Continue Reading “May 2026 Gaming”

We’re into a new millennium! Not year-wise, of course. We are sadly still in 2026. But in looking at the Boardgame Geek game rankings, we are now over 2000. Some might say we’re getting into the dregs, where I haven’t played, or even thought… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100”
