Whenever I do Top 100s or Top 50s, I always rank them by “which game would I play if given both options”. Sometimes that means my favourites of all time make the top of the list, but some high ranking games are games I’ve only played once or twice but were such good experiences that I want to get them to the table again! Some people may find that disappointing, but I think it gives some underrepresented games some love. 10. I love Suchý’s games. Woodcraft one made my Top 50, but I did get rid of it because enough of my friends owned it. Great game, though! Also, Evacuation is one of my latest flames … I absolutely love it! 7. I have owned Village for years, and it’s become one of those classics that you play once or twice a year and it’s so satisfying, but it might not be a weekly game for me. I find it fascinating how it uses “worker displacement” rather than worker placement in order to take most of your actions; I’ve never seen another game do that before. I also am floored by how macabre this game is: you think it’s so quaint and pastoral, given the art and the theme, and yet there is so much carnage! 😂 6. I adore Nucleum. My only complaint is the fixed nature of the board. The southeast corner is usually in stiff competition because Praha is there, plus it’s where you can build most of the mines, and it’s not far from a power plant. Still, though, the game is amazing. I love how the action tiles work, and the engines you can generate are so interesting! 5. Haven’t heard of this game, but I like La Granja, so it may be worth checking out. Thanks for the tip! 4. GoME is popular in my group but I haven’t played it yet. 1. Caylus was a recent discovery for my group too. I got it in a local math trade. I haven’t played it with mean players yet, so I think that’s why I like it, but I have a feeling this would be an agonising experience if you played it with chaos monkeys who find it fun to mess with people for no personal benefit except denying another player. 😂 Great game, though! Haven’t tried the rest! Thanks for the video! I think we may have similar taste in games!
Caylus is a great old title. There are lots of titles on here I'd love to explore. I think roads and boats are the splotter for me. I want to explore the Imperium system more; I just received Horizons. I enjoyed the first release and am looking forward to diving into it further.
@@boardgamingdoctor it is unique, for sure. I can completely understand it not being for everyone, though. It rewards repeatedly playing with the same faction; almost makes it a lifestyle game.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
@@boardgamingdoctorWell, if there’s one thing I can be relied upon to do … 😂
Great list! Hope to see some more. Fellow boardgamer from the department of neurology 😊
Thanks! I’m in path
My "Only played once, really want to return list:" Mosaic, War of the Ring the Card Game, Voidfall, Tiletum, Smartphone Inc. and Star Wars Rebellion.
I really need to try Voidfall and Smartphone Inc sometime

I played Imperium awhile back, I need to return to that too, it didn’t land with me then but I think it’s a really neat system!
