Top 100 Board Games Overview (#10-1)

 Ok, let's see how's at risk of falling out, who will stay and who I think will rise!

2020 #10

Very hard for a new game to get this high on my list. But I think it doesn't hold on for this year. 

2020 #9 2019 #13 2018 #19

I think this game is here to stay. Not leaving the Top 10

2020 #8 2019 #12 2018 #12 2017 #15 2016 #16

Another game that just entered the coveted Top 10. It's YET to drop in my rankings from year to year so I think this one stays as well. 

2020 #7 2019 #9

This one is a powerhouse in my collection. I think it stays too. 

2020 #6 2019 #7 2018 #11

Another one that refuses to drop on my list but since I got to pick some to drop here, I say this one does. (though it gets played all year round)

2020 #5 2019 #2 2018 #6 2017 #7

This one has always been in my Top 10, though it may slip a little, it remains there in 2021. 

2020 #4 2019 #6 2018 #7 2017 #36

Yes I know Galactic Rebellion is a different themed game but it's good. However, I since I have to call some of these as a "drop" I'll tag this one for that list too. 

2020 #3 2019 #4 2018 #4 2017 #5 2016 #3

Unbelievably, this one has not waivered from my Top 5 since the beginning of my list and EVERY year I question if it'll continue to hold up and it does. I'm not questioning this year. It stays Top 5. 

2020 #2 2019 #3 2018 #3 2017 #3

This game is unstoppable. The 6 player game I got to play last year was awesome. I think it'll slidea little next time. But stay in the Top 5. Flawless game. 

2020 #1 2019 #1 2018 #2 2017 #2 2016 #2

Now that the new expansion for the 4th edition is out I don't think I'll ever play 3rd edition again. This game remains #1 on my list while all the others in my collection bow down to it. The perfect game. 

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#20-11)

 Now it's time to see who stays, who goes and who has a shot at moving up into the hallowed Top 10. 

2020 #20 2019 #14 2018 #18

I think this game is good enough to stay in the top 20 but has no chance for the Top 10. 

2020 #19 2019 #16 2018 #21 2017 #20

This is one of the most consistently ranked games in my collection. Nothing changes for 2021. 

2020 #18 2019 #34

I nice boost up into the Top 20 this year, I think with all the competition below it, this one drops a few spots. 

2020 #17 2019 #17 2018 #8

This game is probably staying in this area. The new expansion is due out soon and I can't wait to play with it. But I think it only guarantees its spot in the Top 20 and won't move up beyond that. 

2020 #16 2019 #25 2018 #45

This game keeps moving up the ranks. I think it'll creep further up the list. Possible Top 10 even. It's that good. 

2020 #15 2019 #10 2018 #9

I think this game stays in the Top 20 but doesn't have a shot at cracking the Top 10 this year. 

2020 #14

New game in my collection. I think it slips slightly in the ranking but stays in the Top 20.

2020 #13 2019 #26

This is a hard one to call. If the other games above it falter, this one could easily take it's place. Let's call it a Top 10 game for 2021. 

2020 #12 2019 #8 2018 #23

The 2nd version of the game wasn't very different, which caused this to drop out of the Top 10. I think it slides a few more spots on the list this year as well. 

2020 #11 2019 #5 2018 #5 2017 #6

A Top 5 game that just didn't make it to the table as often so I had to drop it right outside my Top 10. There's an expansion coming out for it this year that I can't wait for. Depending on how good it is will determine if this game gets back in the Top 10 or stays in the Top 20. 

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#30-21)

2020 #30 2019 #32 2018 #52

This game keeps climbing. Far surpassing my expectations but how much longer can it keep this up? I say it stays in my Top 30, even crawls up a little higher too. 

2020 #29 2019 #56 2018 #48 2017 #30 2016 #10

This game is going to come roaring back I think. No more dungeon crawls during beach vacation, we'll be racing these tracks several times. I expect to welcome it back into the Top 20 by the end of the year. 

2020 #28 2019 #46 2018 #41 2017 #26 2016 #11

This is the year of the coop. This one move up but stays in the Top 20. 

2020 #27 2019 #53 2018 #44 2017 #48

Now that I have the hard to find queenie for this game, I say it bumps up a couple more spots on my list. 

2020 #26 2019 #33 2018 #54 2017 #53

Played the long awaited (and unexpected) expansion for this recently. Under-performed. I think this game loses a few spots because of it. 

2020 #25

New to the list, it comes down a little for it's second year in my collection but stays a Top 30 game. 

2020 #24 2019 #24 2018 #30 2017 #40

It may be all out of expansions but it did come in at the same exact rating as last year. But let's be bold and say this game makes it into the Top 20!

2020 #23 2019 #27 2018 #14 2017 #4

Such a hard call this year! So since I've talked so much about games rising on my list its fitting I say one will drop. I don't know how, or why, but I'll pick this one for now. 

2020 #22 2019 #15 2018 #13 2017 #56

Same as above. Just have to balance these predictions out a bit!

2020 #21 2019 #47 2018 #42 2017 #10 2016 #8

Here we go.  My gaming group wants to do a Catanathon again. If that happens, this game is for sure in my Top 20 once again. If not....it drops, slightly. 

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#40-31)

2020 #40 2019 #54 2018 #49 2017 #47

This game is reaching an all time high on my list this year. But I think this is where it peaks and goes back to one of the earlier rankings. 

2020 #39 2019 #62 2018 #60

Another game that's hitting an all time high. It may move down a bit but will remain in my Top 50. 

2020 #38 2019 #57 2018 #16 2017#21

Nice to see this game going back up my list. I think it hovers around this area again when my next list comes out. 

2020 #37 2019 #69 2018 #78

This game is awesome. It rises every year on my list and this year I think it'll hop a few more spots but stay in my Top 40. 

2020 #36 2019 #77 2018 #56 2017 #54

Another Queen Game that bounced back on my list this past year. I think it's good enough to stay in the Top 40 in 2021 too. 

2020 #35 2019 #64 2018 #56 2017 #54

This game is riding at an all time high showing how much I love Queen Games. BUT that being said I think it follows the other back to its ranking from previous years. 

2020 #34 2019 #21 2018 #26 2017 #32

Look at this game! Back to almost where is originally started on my list so many years ago! I think it'll bounce back up a few in 2021 too. GREAT worker placement game!

2020 #33 2019 #52

A healthy 20 spots improved its standings this year. I think it'll hold in the Top 40 and maybe (just maybe) squeeze in the Top 30 if it still gets played as much as last year. 

2020 #32 2019 #18 2018#22 2017 #14

Lowest mark for this game yet. Can't explain why. I still love it. It should be a Top 20 game but this year couldn't make the Top 30. But I think it will in 2021. 

2020 #31 2019 # 59 2018 #55

Each expansion makes the game that much better. I'm calling this one in my Top 20 next year. 

Top 100 Board Games Overview (#50-41)

2020 #50

On tea games I've been 50/50 on whether they move up or down. Hmmm....let's say it moves down for now. Really fun game though. 

2020 #49 2019 #85

And here I thought it'd be moving down my list the year before. Now I think the opposite. This game moves up once more in 2021!

2020 #48 2019 #42

This tea game only fell a few spots but it's such a great game that I doubt it moves too much down this year as well. 

2020 #47 2019 #29 2018 #46

From rising in the ranks to dropping back where it almost started in the first place. I think that just goes to show you I had it right the first time through. I'm saying it stays around this ranking on the next list. 

2020 #46

New game. Fantastic game. Moving way up on my list. Possible Top 20. 

2020 #45 2019 #48

Rising only slightly on the list I think it stays in the Top 50 next year....oh heck, let's be bold. It climbs up a few more spots too!

2020 #44 2019 #82

Another game that soared up my list but I think it's hit the ceiling for as high as it'll go from here on out. 

2020 #43 2019 #28

Quite a drop from last year but it only got played once which is I think why it slipped. Hard to guess where this one goes next time but I'll say down. 

2020 #42 2019 #19 2018 #17 2017 #16

First time not in my Top 20 and I'm guessing lack of plays led to it? This year it gets back in the Top 30 at the very least. 

2020 #41 2019 #81

Roaring up my list is the older version of this game but I think it moves back a little in 2021.
