That guy looks like he has read a few too many rule books today...
Do you have someone in your game group that typically reads ALL the rule books for every game? Do you praise them every chance you get for doing that? Well, maybe you should! My fiancé is typically the "Rule Master," if you will; he reads them, teaches me/the group the game, and references the rules during the game if there are questions or confusions. I never really thought about how much work rule reading was ... until now. Now that I review games a bunch more, I have to read the rules to those and teach them as well. Thanks to that, I have a newfound respect for anyone who does this all the time because, well, here's why:

​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*

Whether it’s for a Secret Santa, a stocking stuffer, a gift for bae, or something else entirely, here are some awesome gift ideas for gamers all under $25! Even fancier, I've linked to BGG pages in the titles, and sites for purchase in the descriptions. You are so welcome.    Let's GOOOO!

Howdy Gamers! Have you ever been playing a board game and thought to yourself, "Wow, this would be so much better with a miniature instead of this boring pawn!" ?  Me too! Well, sometimes. Playing pieces are an obviously huge part of so many games and can really affect how you feel when playing as well as the game as a whole. I've been thinking about that a lot, and I want to take a look at some of the biggest gaming factors (in my opinion, of course) influenced by playing pieces! Let's Gooooo!

If you ask almost anyone who knows me, they will certainly tell you that I love food. I love to cook, bake, and definitely eat. As food is one of my favorite things, when you combine that with gaming, I'm probably going to be very interested! While, of course, I haven't played every food-themed game that there is, I have found a few awesome ones along the way, and if you're a food and game love like me, I highly recommend them all!
