'The Hundred' is finished. See quozl's geeklists here ...
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist.php3?action=view&listi...
But some games didn't make it. I've started the list off. Please don't include any random game you like. The games included should have a reasonable claim to being in the Top 100 (like being in the Top 135 on BGG. Top 135 includes 35 expansions, last time I checked). Also, I'm not including games that are newer than the voting (like Caylus, TI:3).
But please add any I've missed.

Magic The Gathering isn't quite in the Top 100 on BGG, but I think that mainly says more about us than the game. I suspect that many of us here don't play it because of an instance (or two) of odious opponents. [The certainly helped push me away].

Go made the list. Backgammon made the list. Chess didn't!

Paths of Glory is the highest rated game (on the Geek) that didn't make it. The Hundred had more Euro voters than Grognards, I guess.

Super double Ditto. This one is more surprising given that old AH games (like Titan) did make the list (mainly for nostalgia value).

Neither this or Struggle of Empires made it (although SoE was released right around the vote starting).

Another Old AH game that missed the cut. Lots of mechanics, but also some cuthroat negotiations. [Dune made the cut].

YINSH should have made the list as well since several of the other Gipf series games made the list and YINSH is generally regarded as the most accessable and arguably the best of the series.

For the second time in five years, the G-Men are Super Bowl champs! Woo hoo!!!!!

Among the Eurogames, the most surprising omission to me was Amun-Re. DSP winner, quite recent, popular, widely played, and ranked 49th here at the Geek. Plus, practically every other Knizia design was chosen. Not a Top 10 pick by any means, but a game I thought would make the Top 50.

San Juan is another surprising MIA, although not as shocking to me as Amun-Re. Again, we have a very popular game, winner of the a la carte award (best German card game of the year), and ranked 45th on the Geek. Should have made the list fairly easily.

To my way of thinking, D&D has as much claim to rank highly on this list as Magic. Most Eurogamers began life with another genre. Some started out as wargamers (obviously, not many of the One Hundred's voters did). Some started out with CCGs. And some (present company included) began with RPGs. D&D is the one that started it all and should really be a part of every game Hall of Fame. Of course, this argument would carry more weight if the game was actually *in* the Geek database (I'm flabbergasted that it isn't here).

Of course, if you're gonna play "coulda, woulda, shoulda", it's hard to leave out the best selling proprietary game of all time!

It's probably a good thing for the Geek, too, as I imagine getting a decent game of Power Grid or Settlers is difficult at best in a maximum security prison.
