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?

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”

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.

Another short turnaround time for this Boardgame Geek century of games post, because I have another Friday Night Shots post ready to go, so I didn’t want this to go out on Friday too. You all are getting so lucky with these! Or at… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3401 – 3500”
