I have written a series of posts looking at the Board Game Geek (BGG) top 100 games, checking to see if I had the game in my collection and talking a little bit about each one, if I could. At the end of the first thirty games covered I owned 11 of them, for a 36.9% ownership rate. I also had one game that I formerly owned but had sold, so it didn’t get counted. Today I will cover games ranked from 70 up to 61 and see where the ratio ends up.<\/p>\n
For all posts in this series check for the BGG Top 100 tag<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n 70: Rising Sun<\/em><\/strong> 69: Agricola (Revised Edition)<\/em><\/strong> 68: Crokinole<\/em><\/strong> 67: Twilight Imperium (Third Edition)<\/em><\/strong> 66: El Grande<\/em><\/strong> 65: Lisboa<\/em><\/strong> 64: Maracaibo<\/em><\/strong> I have paid for quite a few games by selling Memoir ’44 expansions that way.<\/p>\n Hey, don’t hate me, it’s a good way to stretch my budget…<\/p>\n 63: Marvel Champions: The Card Game<\/em><\/strong> 62: Caylus<\/em><\/strong> 61: Clank! A Deck Building Adventure<\/em><\/strong> The tally so far: After the first 40 games I see that I own only 35% of them. Is that a good thing? Or bad? On the one hand it shows that I’m not a complete lemming that buys everything that other people think is highly rated. There are some games that are on this list that I don’t own that I would like, I am sure. But maybe I’m missing out on some really awesome experiences?<\/p>\n I think I will save some musings on that for my next post, at which point I will be halfway through the top 100. Stick with me, I promise the posts won’t all be this boring…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have written a series of posts looking at the Board Game Geek (BGG) top 100 games, checking to see if I had the game in my collection and talking a little bit about each one, if I could.

\nReleased 2018
\nThis game got some love from The Dice Tower, but I have plenty of other games in this category and so I haven’t tried to pick this one up yet.<\/p>\n
\nReleased 2016
\nThis one is a bit weird in that it appears twice on the top 100 list. I actually own it, but so far I have not tried to figure out what the differences are between this and the higher-rated original version. <\/p>\n
\nReleased 1876
\nHa, a new record for oldest game on the list. \ud83d\ude42 This is a dexterity-based board game that I know absolutely nothing about, other than it’s a dexterity game. And I’m not even sure that’s correct…<\/p>\n
\nReleased 2005
\nThis game just recently went through an update (the fourth edition is current now) but the third edition still gets the higher ranking. I don’t currently own this one.<\/p>\n
\nReleased 1995
\nThis is getting to be a fairly boring list! So far I’ve owned only one game, and that one I don’t know that much about. Sheesh, why did I think this was going to be a good idea…<\/p>\n
\nReleased 2017
\nI don’t own this one. Following the theme still…<\/p>\n
\nReleased 2019
\nI just bought this game earlier this year when it came back in print. Some of the newer games from smaller publishers that sell well go through stages of “where can I find this game” to “this game is everywhere” and back to “where can I find this game again?” Since I had heard some really good things both about the game and the designer I picked it up. If we get to one of the “where can I find this game” stages and I still haven’t played it, I will probably sell it. That’s how I fund a number of my board game purchases…buying things that I know go through cycles and selling them when they are in demand. <\/p>\n
\nReleased 2019
\nI’ll be honest, I didn’t even know about this game until I got to this point on the list. There are other games (Lisboa) that I at least knew about. This one, not so much.<\/p>\n
\nReleased 2005
\nI do not know or own this game.<\/p>\n
\nReleased 2016
\nI would have sworn that there was a TableTop episode about this game, but apparently not! This is another game that I own (yay!) but have not played yet (boo!) but at least that gets my owned count back up a bit.<\/p>\n
\nGames Mentioned: 40
\nGames Owned: 14 (35%)
