Top 100 Board Games Overview (#60-51)

2020 #50 2019 #73 2018 #66

Jurassic Park eat your heart out. This is the highest this game has ever ranked on my list before but I think it'll slip back down this year. Dinosaur World comes out later this year and I look forward to seeing what they have planned for that.  

2020 #49 2019 #78

The expansion was ho-hum but the game shines on without it fine. I do believe this one will drop a little this year (but I've been saying that of just about every game this year. What's wrong with me?!)

2020 #48 2019 #35 2018 #29 2017 #23

This one slowly drops a little each year but is consistent. I believe that trend continues this year. 

2020 #47 2019 #91

I KNEW this one would go up! It's such a great game and one of the few on my list that others agree with me on. I think it climbs a bit more this year too. 

2020 #46 
 

This new game to my list will probably hold around this area. I love the different strategies you have to win and that the right move can catapult you to the top. Awesome game. 

2020 #45

I think this game is moving higher on my list this year. I love painting themes and this one is the best in my collection. Well worth checking out if you haven't before. 

2020 #44 2019 #70 2018 #97

Gotta stop doubting this game. It moves up every year. I think it will again but by 10 spots at the most. The games above it are really good. 

2020 #43 2019 #79

Like I knew it would, this game shot up my list. I'm thinking it's peaked at this point and will hold at this position. 

2020 #42 2019 #83

Such a great game. It's a little like Splendor but with three caravans of choices to complete contracts with. Even though the game did well on the list last year, I think this is where it stops climbing and holds like all the others. 

2020 #41 2019 #92

Yep, this one's moving up again in 2021 I just know it. Lovely game that grows on me more and more over time. 

Florida

 I've never wanted to live anywhere more than I do in Florida right now. 

Beautiful!

These folks live by faith and not fear. Love it. 

My new favorite state!

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#70-61)

2020 #70 2019 #43 2018 #34 2017 #33

This game took its biggest drop yet on my list. Can't say why, I guess because I love this game where you build around the box and have a player eliminated at the end for the most corruption. Such a great game. It stays on my list, maybe dropping a few more spots. 

2020 #69 2019 # 39

Another game from the year before that had its newness wear off and is now settling in on my list at the proper spot. This one is very hard to win because of the extreme lack of money in the game but I love it all the same. I think it makes a comeback on my list and moves up. 

2020 #68 2019 #20 2018 #15 2017 #35

This game's in trouble. My nephews and my gaming group don't like it for some reason and I'm having trouble getting it to the table. It only appeared once and that's going to hurt it this year if that remains true, so I'm saying this one takes another tumble down the list in 2021. 

2020 #67 2019 #49

Another game that lost its newness and took a hit in the rankings but I don't think it falls much more if at all after this year. 

 2020 #66 2019 #80

The expansion was a hit and so this game benefitted by rising on my list! However, I believe it made start moving back down the list after this. 

2020 #65 

New game added to my collection and I have a feeling its heading North when the end of the year comes around. 

2020 #64 2019 #52

Only a small drop which I think will continue as the years go by. Such a simple game but SO much fun for adults or kids. This is the reason Valdora's having problems climbing up my list. This one's just a better game, no question. 

2020 #63 2019 #55 2018 #31 2017 #39

This one's been in my collection for a while and only recently got competition in my collection as other Viking games came into my collection. I think this one is suffering the same fate as Black Fleet did when it got replaced with another game of the same theme. It drops even further in 2021. 

2020 #62 2019 #61 2018 #53 2017 #28

Great Uwe Rosenburg game that I believe stays where it's been hovering for the past 3 years. 

2020 #61 2019 #66 2018 #70 2017 #41

This is a beautiful game that really hasn't budged much on my list for the past 3 years so I say nothing changes for 2021. 

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#80-71)

2020 #80 2019 #109 2018 #92

After one year off the list this game made it back on and higher than ever. I think it may drop down to the 90's again this year but still be in my Top 100. It's another underrated game that a lot of people don't realize they're missing out on. 

2020 #79 2019 #101 2018 #38

I think this game is back for good on my Top 100 and might even steal a few spots higher in 2021. 

2020 #78 2019 #97 2018 #75 2017 #67

This one is constantly bouncing around this area in my Top 100 every year. I say nothing changes for the new year. 

2020 #77 2019 #31 2018 #33 2017 #31

This game only came out once last year which explains the sudden drop. I think it's in danger of falling off the Top 100 list though because it's never a good sign when that happens. 

2020 #76

New game by Queen that exceeded my expectations thanks for to the queenies. I think this game will cool off a little and drop on my list this year. 

2020 #75 2019 #11 2018 #10 2017 #11 2016 #7

The only reason this game drops is because I didn't play it last year. Being a dungeon crawl I'm pretty sure it won't make it to the table this year either unless game intake gets slow. But when I do have time, this is a game I MUST get back to the table again. For now, it'll drop off my Top 100. 

2020 #74 2019 #40 2018 #32 2017 #12 2016 #6

This game follows the same fate as Space Hulk but I look forward to starting the adventure all over again one day!

2020 #73 2019 #68 2018 #76

I think this game is staying strong around this area and won't change much in the coming year. 

2020 #72 2019 #23

I love this game. I've upgraded the bits, sleeved the cards and given it all the love I could. It drops 49 spots because....I don't know. I hoping all it is is that the newness has worn off and this is where it sticks on my list. Though a few games may bring it down a couple of spots, it'll still be on the Top 100 once everything's said and done. 

2020 #71 2019 #38

I guess no matter how conservative I rank my new games, they can still drop when they hit their second year on the list. So was the fate for this game. But its so much fun I see it holding in the 70's for 2021. 

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#90-81)

2020 #90 2019 #127

I've always said this board game was underrated by the masses, well now it made my Top 100 but due to new games coming in this year, I think it's going to move back off the list. 

2020 #89

New Queen Game for my collection. I love it. I think it's going to move up the list in 2021. 

2020 #88 2019 #86

Could it be I called this game from the very first year? It hardly moved. But I do think new games push it down but stays in the Top 100. 

2020 #87 2019 #111

So happy to see this game enter my Top 100. This has been the year of Racensburger games for me! However, I don't think it can hold it's position and may find itself off the list in 2021. 

2020 #86 2019 #105

Look what jumped on the list after sitting just outside the first year in my collection! I think it'll drop into the 90's next year but hang on. 

2020 #85 2019 #75

Not sure how much time this Queen Game has left on my list. But I'll say it barely hold on in the end so be in the high 90's, maybe 100. 

2020 #84

I just know this game is going to take off on my list. Very underrated. The cover says NOTHING about the real game inside. 

2020 #83 2019 #110

Surprised to see this enter my Top 100 but it's such a great game I guess I shouldn't be. However, I don't think they'll make it in the Top 100 this year. 

2020 #82 2019 #30 2018 #27 2017 #19

The Ketchup mechanism SLOWED this game down to a crawl and therein lies my issue. I love this game and its expansion. But do I really want to spend 4 hours playing this? It's ridiculous it takes so long to play but I have to admit, even I had some moments where I sat there wondering what to do. However, I feel this climbs up the list this year because maybe I was a overly disappointed about the session we had. 

 

2020 #81 2019 #84

A small increase from the year before I believe this game will slip a few spots as new games come on to the list. 

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#100-91)

 Now it's time to get to my Top 100 games!

We're starting at the bottom so let's see what games I feel can hang in there and which will leave. 

2020 #100 2019 #172

This game made an amazing comeback on my list last year. Though I don't think this bag builder will be able to hang on, I don't think it'll fall to short off the list. 

2020 #99 2019 #176

Another game that had an amazing year for my list. Again, I think this one will also fall off my list this year but not as low as it came in to my collection in the first place. 

2020 #98 2019 #143

This is great game that has it all. The Souk expansion I could take or leave but the game as a whole is awesome. 

It worked hard to move into my Top 100, but new games will throw it back out. 

2020 #97 2019 #124 2018 #112

WOW. A card game made it into my Top 100. I've just had so much fun with this game that I couldn't deny it a spot. But I think this year it'll fall back to where it was on my previous lists. 

2020 #96 2019 #60 2018 #43 2017 #46

This games been making room for others for the past few years. I love it but there's new games on the horizon so this is it's last year in my Top 100 I'm pretty sure. 

2020 #95 2019 #22

Having bad replacement pieces for this game irks me. Which is why it dropped so low this year. It's an amazing game but if I can't find proper replacement pieces then I'll push this one off the Top 100. 

2020 #94

New game that I think will slowly crawl up my list as I play it more. 

2020 #93 2019 #128 2018 #94

Look at this game bouncing back in the Top 100! I love this game but it'll be hard to stay in the Top 100 with so many new games entering in. So I say it falls back out again this year. 

2020 #92 2019 #116 2018 #40 2017 #36 2016 #27

I'm happy this game made it back onto my Top 100. I MUST get Megan to play it this year. But even without Megan, I think this game actually has a chance to move up the list once more in 2021. 

2020 #91 2019 #144

I knew this game was special last year and it proved true when it made the Top 100. But I think it's going to fall about 10 more spots and just rest outside my Top 100 in next year's list.
