Top 100 Games as of 2020 – #60 to #51
It’s been a while since I posted a set of my favourite games. At the speed I’m going it’ll be 2023 by the time this list is finished!
Hamsters vs. Hippos – The Hippos are Always Hungry
There are many famous rivalries in the animal kingdom. mongooses vs. cobras, lions vs. hyenas, and hares vs. tortoises are the first examples that spring to mind. Never in my life have I heard of the epic and lifelong battle that exists between hamsters and hippos.
Food Chain Magnate
The first time I cracked Food Chain Magnate’s box open and laid everything out on my table, it was almost too much to bear. I found a solo variant on Board Game Geek and slowly played it, spending the better part of an afternoon and a literal litre of coffee to learn how to play Food Chain Magnate.
Project L – Spatial Relation Splendor
Number of Plays: 4 Game Length: 15 - 30 minutes Mechanics: Tile Placement, Puzzle Release Year: 2019 Designer: Michal Mikeš, Jan Soukal, Adam Spanel Artist: Jaroslav Jurica, Marek Loskot, Pavel Richter Intro Let me tell you a bit about my mom. Some of my earliest...
Pairs
riant for that specific set of Pairs. I’ve read over a few of the variant rulesets, but I’ve always default back to the normal, push your luck game that I use to pressure my friends and family into buying me treats.
Head to Head: Calico vs Cascadia
Over the past few weeks I’ve been playing Cascadia by Randy Flynn. One evening in particular I played Cascadia, then immediately after played Calico by Kevin Russ. While the two games share some similarities, the biggest thing they have in common is that they’re both published by Flatout Games and AEG. Because these games share a publisher they often get mentioned in the same breath, so I thought it would be helpful to compare and contrast these titles. Hopefully this may help you decide which one is right for you!
Lost Cities – Don’t Start What You Can’t Finish
I’ll often play 2 player games with my wife, but we really don’t like to bear our teeth and claws at one another. Lost Cities by Reiner Knizia is a two player game that doesn’t make you hit the other player over the head, but tasks you with hedging your bets and challenges you to bluff and manipulate the pace of the game to outscore the other player.
Can’t Stop – Won’t Stop, Don’t Stop!
Can’t Stop is a push your luck game that sets my heart a flutter. While I don’t gamble in real life, I grin ear to ear when pushing my luck, gambling my progress to get further and further ahead.
