Top Board Games 2020 Overview (#210-201)

This went from being a Top 100 game to not even making my Top 200. The reason? It was only played once. I love this battle game but that's all it is about, battle. Plus, this was the first year I played it without my nephews which I must admit it wasn't the same without them. I'm doubtful this'll make it into my Top 200 ever again.

A new game that didn't get any plays after my review but I'm interested to see how it stacks up. I'm worried however that this'll be the highest it gets due to stiff competition in the Top 200.

This one took a huge 70 point plunge in the rankings last year and I don't think it'll be able to recover, though I do predict its fall in 2021 will not be as massive.

Another new game added to the collection, I'm thinking this one could drop a few spots but overall end up in the same spot just shy of my Top 200.

Hard to tell. I've played this one a couple of times since my rankings and I have to say, I like it a little more. But with so many games coming in to my collection every year, it's hard to swim upstream. However, I think this'll be the lowest game on my list to rise a few spots.

Now that I have the mini expansion I wonder how much better the game will be. This is another one I'm going to say will be in my Top 200 by the end of the year.

Right now, this is one of the hardest new games to call. I love it but will more games make it better or same old same old? If I had to say now, I'll say it shifts down a good many spots but only due to newer games hitting the list.

I love this game. It's a witty worker placement with humor and knows exactly what it is. I can't help feeling bad for this game constantly placing just outside of my lists every year. There's no hope for this game and it'll go tumbling down the list once again, as higher games fight for my time at the table.

This pick up and deliver game really held its own on the list last year. I think it even has a fighting chance of making it into the Top 200 this year. Just too bad the Mrs never gave it a chance. I know this game would be much higher if she did!

I swear if I get to play this with a big group and try out the dirty cop expansion, this game will stop it's free fall on my list and start moving in a positive direction. Praying that it works out in 2021!
