Have a guess what the most viewed game is. Got it - yep Settlers. No surprise there. So Puerto Rico is close behind, again no surprise given it's number 1 title.

So what comes next and are there any that you wouldn't expect to be there? I didn't think Settlers and PR would be so far ahead of Carcassonne. Nor did I think War of the Ring would be on the list.

A number of game genres are represented (war, miniatures etc) but filler and party games are noticeably absent. Predictably the euro dominates.

For whatever reason, this game doesn't get much coverage on wargame sites, and I think that goes a little way to explain why it is so high on this list of mostly euros.

344483 views. I guess even though it's in the top 5, it's still a wargame, and wargames haven't featured on this list.

It would be interesting to see how this changes if you ranked by (num views)/(years in print).

Agricola would destroy the competition. Just like caylus a few years ago I would imagine.
