30 games I'd drop everything for... (part 1)

It's the end of the year...

We are soon going to get more games to add to our shelf...

Or we are going to get more shelfs to place out games one...

And I have had no time to dig into a games, explain it and point out it weak points, like a Death Star rebel plans. But I do have time to make a list of...

Yes, I'm on the top ten band wagon. Not something that I am proud of but a necessity to show you and the world my true colors in gaming. People like to know where you come from and what your preferences are. That way they can gage if you are bias or honest. 

And I like to be honest. There nothing like being lied to by the man selling unbreakable knifes, that after two week of use, brake!

So, what went into making this list?

​Well, I took all the games that I enjoyed play and a list of my most played games. (Yes, I like to keep a record of everything I touch. But not a record of every thing I won, because it would be futile.) I combined them together and then chose the games that, if ask to play right now, I'd say "LET'S GOOOOOO!"

I eliminated game that I have only played once or twice. Because the eagerness to play a game like that again is strong and not a true judge of if it is a game that I drop anything for. I also eliminated games that are not in my collection. If I don't own it, why would it be on this list. Again that goes for any game that I want to play now (ie Batman: Gotham City Chronicles) because they are not available. Hench Conan made the cut, as it is the same engine.

This narrowed my list down to 30 games. Not bad. And then I had to put them in order of what would get priority. There is always one game that you'd prefer to play than another, right? 

here is my list from 30 - 21


30: Game of Thrones - the card game

One interesting card game that the theme fits well with each family as well as the players actions.

29: the pursuit of happiness

A worker placement (love them) with a great theme. Life.
The game quickly becomes a second life for you as you do those things you wish you did do.


28: dominion

A deck builder (love them too) the first and most light fun that you can have with a growing deck of cards.

27: galaxy trucker 

This feels like it has been taken from a game show and is extremely fun. If you like watching someone destroy your Lego tower.

26: crossing

Laugh and steal and point your finger. Enjoyable in any situation. A small party game that has big memory's for me.

25: timeline

The ultimate trivia game in a for that everyone can play. And even when your not sure, there are chance you'll get it right. 
And available in many flavors.


24: telestrations/esquissé?

So you're not good at drawing! That's the fun of this game. Not being able to draw and wetting yourself, because the chaos it produces. 

23: last night on earth

There are many great Zombie games out there. But no of them capture the stupidity and craziness and fear, like this one.

22: heroscape

So much terrain. So many units and heroes. This is my favorite type of skirmish. Light enough for children and scenarios as infinite as your imagination.

21: stone age

Like I said, work placement is my cup of tea. This time there are dice and mathematics involved that make every decision crucial. And the less said about baby making...

And for today, I will leave it there. But I will be back with the rest of the list, including the top ten itself. So lets just add a...
