Top 200 Board Game prediction for 2020 (120-111)

 120) Arkadia

This game is good but not good enough to hold it's ranking from last year.

 119) Navegador

Fun game but think it's best days are behind it. I expect it to sink in the rankings in 2020.

 118) Niagara

This used to be in my Top 20 at one time. I don't think it'll be in my Top 120 by the end of the year.
 117) Hollywood

I love this card game but being that it is a card game I think it'l move down in rankings.

 116) Sons of Anarchy

Without Megan playing this game with me I feel this game will continue to fade away on my list.

 115) Dream Home

After being a rock on my list for years this one shocked me by dropping out. I predict this year it slowly begins it's move back up the list.

 114) Kings of Israel

Lovely coop game. But being a Coop, I'm afraid it'll fall in rank this year.

 113) Storage Wars

Hard to say. But since it's a simple game I'm predicting it moves down in 2020.

 112) Sultaniya

I'm rooting for this game to get into my Top 100. With the right play it will or at least get close.

111) Seeland

Another game that's one solid play away from jumping into my Top 100. I hope it does.

Top 200 Board Game prediction for 2020 (130-121)

 130) Sun, Sea and Sand

Underrated game in the board gaming community. A really great hotel management game! I'm not sure if it'll rise any higher than where it was last year however.

 129) The Doge Ship

Another game I think will rise this year when it gets more plays.
 128) Fool's Gold

The only thing that's stopping this game from moving up my list....is the new games being added to my collection.
 127) Noblemen

I love this game. I think with more plays it'll shove it's way up my list in 2020.

 126) Bruxelles 1893

Really hard to call but I'll say it drops unless I have an excellent play of it this year. At this point I wish all these games were in my Top 100.

 125) Wingspan

It moves up the list this year I think. Even breaks into my Top 100 if Megan plays it with me.

 124) Monster Crunch

Fun game but too simple to ever move up the list any higher than this.

 123) Challenge of the Super Friends

Great card game but I don't really have anyone who could enjoy the theme as much as I do so I hate to say it but it moves down in 2020.

 122) The Pursuit of Happiness

Excellent game. I have the newest expansion for it and can't wait to try it out! If it's good this game moves up my list!

121) Citrus

Another great game but I'm afraid it'll move down in the rankings.

Top 200 Board Game prediction for 2020 (140-131)

 140) Worker Placement

Great game with a fun theme! It just barely missed out on being on the list in 2018 and now I don't think it'll ever move up the list again due to new games coming in. The only thing to save this game is if I get an epic 8 player game done....which is doubtful.

 139) Abandon Ship

Rats trying to escape a sinking ship. Dice drafting filler fun! But I don't think that's enough to save it from sinking a few spots on the list this year.

 138) Architects of the Colosseum

Fun game where everyone moves a pawn around a rondel board to take different actions. More plays will let me get a better grip on whether this game moves up or down but since I am making predictions here, I say it rises on the list.

 137) Snow Tails

Fun racing game but it doesn't get enough plays as it needs to move up the list so I'm saying it drops.

 136) Atlantis

FUN game from Mayfair. I think as I play this more it has an excellent chance of moving up the list thanks to those awesome mini expansions.
 135) Mangrovia

Man this is a hard one to guess. But if I had to say, I'll say it'll move down.

 134) Ulm

I think this game will move up the list with more plays.

 133) Automania

Another game that'll do well with more plays. But if it doesn't get those plays it may slide down my list for this year.


 132) Helios

Weird theme but exciting game. Don't think it'll rise any higher than where it landed in 2019.

131) Norenberc

I can't wait to play this again. I feel like it was underrated on my list last year so this may be the year it rises a few spots closer to being in my Top 100.

Top 200 Board Game prediction for 2020 (150-141)

 150) Pizarro and Co

Great game but may be a little too simple to play and that'll hurt it in 2020.

 149) Mississippi Queen

I think the Queen will ride past others on the list that'll slide but in the end still end up a few spots lower than where it is now.

 148) Explorers of the North Sea

I think this game is going to soar on my list now that I have a complete expansion set for it. That may have bugged me a little more than it should've, leading to a lower ranking than the game deserved. So I'm saying it rises higher this year. 

 147) New Bedford

I have a feeling this one is trending up too due to it being a solid worker placement game.

 146) Bohemian Villages

Fun fast game. Don't know how it'll do this year. I think it'll slip a little on the list next year but that's all.

 145) Vienna

I love dice placement but the problem with this game is there's usually only one strategy people have at the beginning of the game that they stick with. Making the game a little repetitive if played multiple times.
 144) The River

Tight worker placement. I think this has a chance of climbing on my list this year.

 143) Yspahan

Another game that's hard to call. I want to say it moves up but a part of me says it falls a little. I DO have the mini expansion for the game that I hear elevates it but looking over it I'm not sure how. So I'm going to say it drops unless "The Souks" is amazing.

 142) Sentient 

Another hard one to call. Being it's a real mind bender at times I say AP pushed it down a little on my list.
141) Coney Island

The more I play this game the more I enjoy it. It's a solid game that just can't seem to catch a break on my list. Though it drops in 2020 (I predict) I think it stays in my Top 150.

Top 200 Board Game prediction for 2020 (160-151)


 160) Homesteaders

I love this game I just don't get it. Therefore it shuffles down the list yet again this year.

 159) Iquazu

A great Haba game but I think it's best ranking was here. It'll drop a few spots in 2020.

 158) Honga

Another great Haba game that won't fall as much as Iquazu but will get bumped down as new games hop into my collection.

 157) Truck Off

Hard to tell on this one but I think because it's a filler game it moves down the list.

 156) Sanssouci

Oooh...ok, let's mix things up here. This game moves UP the list because I didn't get enough plays as I wanted to last year and this year I plan to rectify that!

 155) Black Fleet

As "Francis Drake" has replaced this as my go to pirate game, I foresee this one dropping again by the end of the year.
 154) Ghost Fightn' Treasure Hunters

No one likes Coop's but me. This game drops.

 153) Pandemic

The curse of being a coop in my game group continues the trend of this one falling in the rankings too.

 152) Police Precinct

I need to find a coop gaming group. It kills me that all of these are headed for another drop in the rankings this year.

151) Cover Me

Yikes! This is a hard one but to play it safe I'm going to say it drops a little too.
