Last year the members of the San Antonio Board Gamers voted on their Top 50 games. And this year we did it again! So here it is. Each player got 20 votes, and a #1 vote was worth 40 points (and a #20 vote was worth 21 points).


2007 Geeklist -- http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/24956

11 Voters mentioned 129 distinct games, and 51 games got two (or more) votes, so this is really a "Top 51".

Read our blog at http://saboardgamers.blogspot.com/. Stop by if you are in town!

Power Grid again shows up at the top of the list. In fact, it has exactly the same number of voters, and same number of points, despite the fact that some voters changed (including people who voted for Power Grid). Eerie.

7 Voters, 244 points. Last year's rank -- #1 (No change)

Probably the most surprising game on this list when comparing SABG rankings vs BGG. This has gained a fair number of voters over the last year.

5 Voters, 154 points. Last year's rank -- #20 (+17).

This is one of those quandary games as far as I'm concerned. It is a good game, but...
- the players need to be of near equal skill and/or experience
- its fiddly to setup
- its been overplayed and analyzed
- its faster to play on the computer

So, while its a good/great game, it is also a bit over ranked to my mind. It seems to get a good ranking out of respect, but when you ask if folks want to play, there is almost always something new they'd rather pull out.

Probably because I submitted a list this year but not last year. With most of this list made of 2- and 3- vote games, one extra vote makes a huge difference in the final rank in this list.

This is starting to suffer from too many expansions. I think extra cards are always welcome, but the extra boards are maybe too much.

I like Goa, but besides Jeff and Amy's games, I can't remember this being played either in the last 9+ months. I wish I played more, but I don't think I play it nearly enough to have really considered it for my list.

Ok, the real mover and shaker. Since so many games were bunched up, I extended last year's list to around 60 games. If you count those 'almost made its', then Poker is the biggest gainer. If you don't, its the highest "New" game.

We played this on my first day meeting the SABGers. I remember someone wrote "Knizia" on a piece of paper and I was just like "Whaaaat?" I was sure he was some guy who either did Anime, samurai films, or Godzilla movies.

The first time Jeff and I played, it was a 45 minute game -- our Titan stacks ran into each other very early. The second time, it was eight hours.

I'm disturbed at how anticorrelated I am to this list, especially since I contributed to it.

My top ten:

Diplomacy (#25)
Blood Bowl (n/a)
Space Hulk (n/a)
Ra (#16)
Crokinole (#38)
Poker (#12)
History of the World (#31)
Strat-O-Matic Baseball (#15)
Ace of Aces (n/a)
Modern Art (n/a)

Meanwhile, four of the top six are games I'd rather not play (#3-#6 to be specific). But I have gleaned three things from this:

1. I was negligent in not listing Cash 'n Guns, which I should've placed at #20 instead of Junta (nostalgia vote).

2. I desperately need to play Twilight Imperium.

3. I'll start bringing Tigris & Euphrates.

I've only played that one time at Jeff and Amy's, but I really liked it. I wasn't very good at it, but I keep thinking I want to try it again. I just haven't played it enough to determine where it fits on the list. I bet it'll make my list next year if I can get another play or two.

Here's my list:

1 Commands & Colors: Ancients
2 Power Grid
3 Race for the Galaxy
4 Tichu
5 Glory to Rome
6 Ca$h 'n Gun$
7 Memoir '44
8 Arkham Horror
9 Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition
10 Descent: The Road to Legend
11 Ticket to Ride
12 Notre Dame
13 Neuroshima Hex!
14 Fury of Dracula
15 Combat Commander: Europe
16 Strat-o-Matic Baseball
17 Nexus Ops
18 Pillars of the Earth, The
19 Crokinole
20 BattleLore
