Top 100 (2019 predictions) #60-51

 #60 Finca

A new game I squeezed on to my list at the 11th hour. A fantastic game that's getting a well deserved reprint. I believe this game could rise up a few more spots at the end of the year.

 #59 Via Appia

Oh Queen Games how I love you. This one was #57 last year so the only way it's dropping is due to more games being added to my collection.

 #58 Quartz

I called it last year, saying it would slip down a little from #50 in 2017. It was #44 the year before that so if the trend consist, I think this'll land in the 60s this year. Nothing against the game though. I love push-your-luck, even though I never win them.

 #57 Kings of Israel

A great COOP game that well eventually drop lower next year only due to no one wanting to play with me. This one got a reprint last year too which is good. The game deserves more attention than it gets!

 #56 Queen's Architect

At #54 last year, I called this one as well, saying it'd slip a bit but remain in my Top 60. I think I'll make the same prediction for this year too.

 #55 Sagrada

A game I mocked for being "over-rated" before playing it has taught me to be more careful of what I say in the future! The expansion is going to help push this great game a few more spots up next time, I'm sure of it.

#54 Tobago

Great looking game and one that gets requested a lot from my group. This is another game I called last year in saying it would either move up or down in spot. Well last year it was #53 so that should tell you I pretty much nailed this one on the money. I'll go ahead and say it drops a few more spots only due to newer game that will be incoming.

#53 At the Gates of Loyang

I like the game but my gaming group would rather play something else which is why is made a hard drop from #28 on my list last time. I myself am not a big Uwe Rosenburg fan but this game is an exception. I love to play it!

#52 Mekator

Another game I got at the very beginning of 2018 and enjoy playing as well from Uwe Rosenburg. Again, this game isn't even mentioned by his fans so once again I stand in the minority on which games I like over others but it's a pretty solid game with a lot of choices and I love playing it. Only problem is, this is another game my group isn't particular found of. (Uwe gets no love in my group) If that continues to be the case I predict these fall into the 60s for the next list.

#51 Meixca

Area control at its finest. I went low with this game at first but if I play it more in 2019, I believe it stands a good chance of climbing up on my list. The pieces to this game alone are stunning to look at!

Top 100 (2019 predictions) #70-61

 #70 Expedition Northwest Passage

I've said it before but this has got to be one of the prettiest board games I own! But that darn problem with AP really hurt its previous ranking of #41. I think that issue will continue and this game could be threatened to fall completely off the Top 100 if that were the case.

 #69 Conquest of the Empire and Blood Feud in New York

I combined them this year because I felt they were too similar games with different themes. They also continue to free fall on my list from one year to the next. They went from #37 and #38 respectfully on the previous list. But in 2016 they used to be #13 and #14! Good news for these game however is they qualify for the Vintage list next year so I may move them both over there if their numbers plummet once again this year.

 #68 El Gacho

Something tells me this game my wrassle its way up the list this year if not too many games get added. I feel dice drafting will be its saving grace since it's one of my favorite mechanisms at the moment.

 #67 Robo Rally

Even though it dropped a little from #63 the year before I still feel this one could move up because the more I play it the more I enjoy it. Either way I predict it doesn't move from the 60s on my next list.

 #66 Dinosaur Island

The new expansion will be the deciding factor for me on whether this game moves up or down on my next list. This is Jurassic Park, the game. It's so much fun to play and so far isn't getting old.

 #65 Porta Nigra

#58 in 2017 it only dropped due to new games coming in. I predict the same this will happen again this year but that won't stop me from bringing this one to the table. So much fun to play!

 #64 Hamburgum

#55 last time, this rondel game is so awesome because it's based off true historic events! The quality of the pieces are nice too. But as rondel based games go, this is the weakest of the bunch for me, so even though I'm sure to play this many times of the course of the year, it will drop slightly yet again in 2019.

 #63 The Adventurers

Both these games are super fun to play! Last time they ranked at #44 last time and #41 the time before that. They're both great games but I think the influx of new games into my collection are the main reason they never move up.

That being said I'm calling another short slide on my list this year but not as much a drop as the year before.

 #62 Police Precinct

This game keeps falling on the list for its only crime of being a COOP game I can't get to the table. #34 and #23 the year before that, this one's going to hurdle down even more spots but remain on my list...due to it being TOTALLY AWESOME!

#61 Conquest of Nerath

I'm torn on this one. A great game but I feel its peeked on my list. It almost qualifies for a vintage game (in 2020) so if it falls too bad on the list, I may switch it over there. BEAUTIFUL looking game however! Easy to play with families too.

Top 100 (2019 predictions) #80-71

 #80 Mississippi Queen

I called it last year when it was #85 when I said it was slowly moving up river on my list. I think this year it make slip a little but remain on the list at the end of the year. For such a slow racing game the play time is surprisingly fast!

 #79 Niagara

From #59 last year and #20 the year before this games main problem is the troublesome (yet awesome) river feature on the board. If it weren't so fiddly, this game would still be in my Top 30. I know that sounds petty but it's aggravating to have such a cool idea be so poorly executed on the board. If it's not careful, this game my fall over the "100" river never to be seen again.

 #78 Desperadoes of Dice Town

Every time I play the game, I love it more. For that reason, I'm predicting this one to move up my list in 2019! Simple dice game that's so much fun to play and quick to set up for a last minute game!

 #77 Formula E

If Megan plays this and likes it, it moves up. If she doesn't, than I think it moves down yet not off the list. Though if I were to ask some of my nephews, they may vote this game over Formula D!

 #76 Papa Paolo

This one's hard to tell. I believe it slips a few spots due to newer games entering the list but the theme and game play are so great, it could stick around in the 70s if it's good enough.

 #75 Biblios Dice

Ooh, down from #67 this game will drop another 10 to 12 slots but stay on my list. I love dice drafting and moving markers up several tracks. I don't understand why Biblios gets more love than this one which I think is far superior.

 #74 Navegador

I forgot to mention in my video how I love the way the market fluctuates in the game. This really is a gem of a game but I believe it drops a few more spots later this year all the same.

 #73 Hollywood

The "Dream Factory" killer! Solid card game and one of very few in my collection. This one drops into the 80s but will continue making blaockbusters on my list for months to come!

 #72 Dream Home

It's been pretty steady on my list at #72 so I'm going to say it retains that ranking once again. Megan STILL hasn't played this game with me yet and I know she would love it. What a boon it would be for that to happen. This game might even start to climb if that happens.

#71 Drum Roll

Down from #64 last time, this game is so cool. With excellent artwork, a neat theme and all the kickstarter goodies I was able to pick up for it, this game should be safe in 70s come end of the year.

Top 100 (2019 predictions) #90-81

 #90 Ghost Fightn' Treasure Hunters

Another fun COOP game that will be hard to get to the table with my group. For that reason, it drops from my list this year I bet.

 #89 Black Fleet

From #19 to #45 and now #89. I hate any game that moves down my list like that but Francis Drake is killing this one for me. If it wasn't for my gaming group requesting this one, it wouldn't make it to my table as much.

 #88 Shakespeare

#49 last year, this one dropped a lot. The problem with this game is as I said in the video, AP. And that could boot it off the list completely this year unless something changes.

 #87 Pandemic

Could this be the year the game drops off my list!? #62 last year and #22 the year before that so it's not looking good for this awesome COOP game. If I had to guess, I think it dips under #100 but who knows, maybe it can survive another wave of new games for this year.

 #86 Abandon Ship

It was #71 last year, so it slipped a few spots and I'm not sure it'll be on the list this year due to more games being added. Doesn't mean it's a bad game, I enjoy dice drafting and this game carries that mechanic well.

 #85 Arkadia

Really depends how much table time it gets this year. I like the game but feel it'll slip completely under 100 unless it catches on with my gaming group.

 #84 Zombies!!!

#61 last year and incredibly enough #9 the year before that! This game keeps falling mainly because of how awful a company Twilight Creations Inc is. The only thing saving this game from falling off my list will be an expansion. But knowing Twilight Creations, I'm not sure they could pull it off.

 #83 Snow Tails

It hovered around #47 then dropped to #51 so I never imagined the game hitting this low and that has me worried. Formula D still reigns supreme as far as racing games are concerned but with the right amount of play time I believe this one can hang on to the list another year. 

 #82 Burger Boss

This one's staying on the list and only drops due to newer games being added. LOVE this game about making burgers. Can't wait to play it more this year.

#81 Toledo

Mayfair hit a homerun for me with this game. I believe it'll drop lower to make room for newer games but this one will stay on the list as well.

Top 100 (2019 predictions) #100-91

Time to look back over my Top 100 list from last year and make some predictions on where they'll be a year from now!

 #100 Cable Car

It was #81 last year but this year it's going to drop off only because of new games that will be entering my collection.

 #99 300

Sadly this one will drop off the list this year as well because 2 player games don't get played as much. I'm keeping it in the collection though because it's a fun game all the same.

 #98 Three Musketeers: The Queen's Pendant

New game in my collection but it debuted so low that it probably won't stay on the list either. I hate that because I love the game. Who knows, maybe the Musketeers will fight their way to stay on the list at the end of the year.

 #97 Corporate America

Newest game that was added right before making my list and I have to say, it's only getting better. I think this game has a chance to last on the list, though it won't move much due to newer games coming on the list.

 #96 Homesteaders

This game's hanging on the expansion due out later this year. It was #76 last time and now, depending how good it is, will make the difference on whether this stays on the list or not in 2019.

 #95 Bombay

Fun game but if the Mrs loses interest in it, it's off the list as well.

 #94 Fool's Gold

This one's so good it could hold on and outlast other games moving off the list. Really good look to this one too.

 #93 The Networks

Started on the list 2 years ago at #30, fell to #86 the following year and only stayed on the list because of the expansion this year. Not a good sign for this board game. I enjoy playing it more with the expansions but I don't think that'll save it in 2019.

 #92 Master Builder

Awesome game but since it started off so low, I'm afraid new games added to the list will bump this one off.

#91 Templar: The Secret Treasures

Another hit for Queen Games but I'm afraid any newly added games to my collection will shove this off my list for 2019. (But I'm rooting for it!)
