So I've done this a few times already. In 2016, I ranked the first 100 tabletop games I felt qualified for a list. In around April 2018, I was a little more discerning, choosing 80 games that I'd played more than once and that I felt were interesting enough from a hobbyist's perspective to rank. This time I'm going to use similar criteria to last year's ranking. That game count is now up to 133, with that increase representing mainly games that I've . The list is a little less coherently ranked this time, having been ranked using this site: https://www.pubmeeple.com/introducing-ranking-engine-2-0/ - since several preferences are kind of hazy, the rankings came out a mess, and I didn't spend quite as much time adjusting the rankings as you might hope.

Preference criteria is roughly judged on:

  • Past experiences/memories - what impression did this game leave on me? Did I have any "aha" moments? What was the best thing that happened while I played this game?
  • Design principles - without playing the game and just looking at its components and ruleset and place in history, how much do I admire/disdain this game?
  • Future outlook - how much is there left to explore? How do I look forward to getting this to the table? Am I still excited to play it, and with which people can I look forward to playing it?


Notably, my gaming habits have shifted this year, which changes #3 greatly. Some games will be largely propped up by #1 as I look forward to playing them less in the future; other games will vary slightly in ranking as my last memory becomes more and more distant.

As usual, game 133 of 133 will be up soon.
