I can’t argue with them but it’s a game that somehow has never quite clicked with me. (This is one of the many reasons I’m not part of a successful boardgame review channel.)
I really enjoy the format of the top 100, but mam fach I struggled with the editing in this one. It’s like watching We Will Rock You (not a compliment).
I understand that their ranking criteria are, roughly speaking, vibes, but it’s hard to get invested. We’re a few episodes in and I’m prepared to ignore the entire list, however it ends up looking.
I suspect I’d have a lot more sympathy if they’d called it “games that are no longer the new hotness but we want to talk about anyway”.
Azul (“the tile game”) is the game from my collection most requested by my parents, along with Railroad Ink (“the train game”).
