BGG Top 100 Unplayed Games Analysis
I was inspired by the Board Games Hot Takes podcast’s recent episode where they discussed the games from the Board Game Geek top 100 list that they haven’t played yet, and discussed 5 of the games they want to play and 5 that they don’t want to play.
Otter’s Trash Taste – His Top Games That I Hate
Every year I encourage the members of my regular game group to create a top 100 games of all time. Today I’m starting a new series in which I explore my friends favourite games and specifically look at the games they chose to put onto their top 100 that I hate.
Pandemic – Board Game Review
Well, it’s May 2022 and my family has contracted COVID-19 for the first time. I thought I would spend our isolation time reflecting on the series of games with the name that no one really thought of until it overtook our world; Pandemic.
Abstract Academy – This Canvas ain’t Big Enough for the Two of Us!
I have never aspired to being an artist. I’ve scribbled little sausage people in the margins of my notebooks while in school, but chose to spend my efforts with the written word instead. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that I’ve never applied paint to canvas.
Galaxy Trucker – You Might Survive the Kessel Run
Galaxy Trucker has the prestige of being my number 2 favourite game of all time. My top games list is a constant state of flux, but from the very first time I played Galaxy Trucker, it has enjoyed the prestige of being seated firmly at the top or penultimate spot.
The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth
My wife and I are huge Lord of the Rings fans. We love the books and we love the trilogy of movies. Unfortunately, I grew up in the 90’s where a licensed game (a game that had the same title as an existing property) generally meant that the game was absolute trash. I’ve played some real terrible movie tie-in games in my day. The Lord of the Rings has had some great and not so great games made within the universe. Stick around to see if Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth falls into the former or latter camp.

Top 100 Games as of 2020 – #1 to #10
We’ve arrived at my favourite 10 games of all time (as of March 2020). I did not anticipate how long this series would go when I started it over a year ago.
It’s been nice reflecting on my favorite games, verbalizing why I like each one so much. A few of the games descriptions were enough to peak my wife’s interest, which always makes me happy.
I’ve played a lot if games over the last two years, and while this list will have changed quite a bit, I know that these top 10 are firm in their spots. It would take something pretty special to come a dislodge any one of these from the pantheon of my top 10 games of all time.
