​Hey there gamers! I thought it would be fun to end the year with a little Top 100 List!I hadn't updated my top 10 page in a while, and knew it was time, then I thought, why not just do a quick comparison of all the things I've rated on BGG? :)
I used this nifty site here and ... voila! Top 100! These are just some games I love (no expansions included), from all different years, ranked, and some with a little snippet. I plan to try and do this every year to see how much things change, or if I'm pretty consistent. Feel free to let me know what some of your top games are, or make suggestions for me based on things I like - I'm always looking for more games!! It's gonna be a long one, so buckle in! 
Happy Gaming, and Happy New Year, folks!
*Note - I don't own the below images. I pulled these from BGG pages. The image above is mine*

Howdy Gamers! It's time for some more board game art! Clank!  is one of our household's favorite deckbuilders, so I wanted to get an upgraded dragon miniature (for the base game) and an upgraded spider miniature (for the Gold and Silk expansion).
In case you're interested in doing something similar, here's my materials list and other details!
Happy Creating~

Materials:
-Spider Mini ($5.00, WizKids, came primed)
-Dragon Mini ($8.00, Reaper, came primed)
-Paint (About $2.00 per color at any craft store; we used a very basic acrylic paint)
-Matte After Painting Spray ($4.00 at Wal-Mart)

Time Taken:
The spider was about 3 hours and the dragon took about 4 hours, and then about an extra half hour between 2 coats of the spray. (I did the spider while my fiance did the dragon for painting).

Tips:
-Don't be too concerned with perfection, especially if it's your first time painting like it was for me. Everything will be okay!
-Do your research about wet painting, dry painting, washing, and other paint techniques
-Have Fun!!
