My Favorite Board Games Tier List



Few notes about the list etc.:

-I only included games I've played half way recently, so there are probably various noteable games that aren't on the list even though I'm sure they would be if I played them again. (For example: 7 Wonders, Village, My Village, and Heroscape)

-Viticulture took a big dip, which I'm sad to report. Still love the game for sure. But I for some reason I haven't been enjoying it as much as of late.

-3 of my top 10 games are games that I played for the first time over Christmas Break. I absolutely love The Crew: Mission Deep Sea, Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig, and Letter Jam. Definitely huge hits for me.

-Not sure why Dune: Imperium wasn't a huge hit with me. Seems like my type of game, but I guess it just didn't click with me.

-Legacy games are not included in the list. If they were, Pandemic Legacy Season 1 and 0 would both be in S tier somewhere and Season 2 in A tier somewhere. SeaFall is still my favorite board gaming experience I've had, but the game itself would probably land in B tier somewhere.

-Charterstone is a legacy game as well, but it is replayable after the campaign is finished, so I put it on the list. 

Although I can say that I won't play it for a very long time. I sadly didn't like the game as much as I hoped I would. 

I still had a ton of fun because I was around family and there were many cool things going on throughout the campaign, but I never felt I got a good grasp on the gameplay itself. I don't really know how to win. Which is kind of concerning in a strategy game.

I'm sure having to play 12 games in roughly 6-7 days didn't help the experience as well. I was definitely burnt out on Charterstone by the end of the week.

I'm sure I could write much much more about my thoughts and feelings on the game, but I'll leave it at that for now.

  1. Love the new structure to your list of favorite board games...as for the dip in Viticulture I wonder if you were winning or losing more than you used to?
