It's Time for Another TOP 100!!

12/26/2019

Howdy Ho, Gamers, and a Merry Christmas if you were celebrating yesterday - otherwise, I just hope you had a great day!

You may recall that last year I took a look at my Top 100! Well, I decided to do that yet again this year, for the funz, and wow, was I surprised! I knew a played a lot of games in the last year, many which I loved, and I knew that I grew fonder of the roll-and-write genre as well, which pushed some of those forward a bit, edging some other games out. But I was definitely surprised at just how much my list changed, and how many new things made the list! New games below are noted with a (N) while games that appeared on last year's list have (#) next to them, with whatever number they came in at last time.

So check out my list, and let me know what's on your Top 100 (or even Top 50, or just Top 10! I just want to talk about games, okay?) And as always, happy gaming :)

100 - 91

Picture
100. Arcadia Quest (27)
99. Seasons (62)
98. Queendomino (52)
97. Imhotep (N)
96. Above and Below (23)
95. Hardback (83)
94. Quodd Heroes (N) - This game has a lot going on, and I bet it'll move up on next year's list if I get to play it more this year.
93. Bob Ross: Happy Little Accidents (51)
92. Tavern Masters (N)
91. Arraial (N)

90 - 81

79. Skulk Hollow (N)
78. Spirits of the Wild (N)
77. Sheriff of Nottingham (40)
76. Everdell (9) - Definitely a pretty big drop here. Not because it's not awesome, but I think when I first got it last year right before the list, I was just obsessed with it cause it was new. Still great, and now happy to have an expansion, but it just isn't quite as high.

50 - 41

25. Lords of Waterdeep (42)

23. Brass Empire (22)
22. T.I.M.E Stories (3) - I still really like the white cycle, and have tons of fond memories, but that last expansion - Madame - really ended terribly for me, and it was horribly disappointing.

Wow, great list!
It was nice to see some not-exactly-new titles show up as new favorites: Imhotep, Bärenpark, Dice City.
Natsumemo would be high on my list too if I had one. (but I need to focus more on studying first)
Interesting that Pandemic Legacy Season 1 rose in rating! Was Charterstone really that bad?

Keep on doing what you do. We love it!

Thank you! I was so happy to have played a ton of great new to me games this year :D and that rating tool really helps you pinpoint what you'd rather be playing, cause sometimes it is hard to choose!
Hahaha yeah...Charterstone sure took a toll on me 😂
Thanks a ton for your kind comments :))
