Board Game Rankings

Welcome to the ever-growing list of board game rankings! I’ve listed off every board game I’ve reviewed and ranked them based on what I think is the better game. Or when it’s hard to choose, which game I’d prefer to play.

With this list, I’m aiming to let you know:

1. My preferences for games – you’ll know what games I favour (and what games I don’t).
2. Which games do I think you should buy – one look at this list will tell you where a board game compares to its competitors.
3. Accountability for me. When I say a game is good, I must answer: how good is it?
