I like board/card games — they’re a great source of entertainment and way to learn more about your friends or other people. Some are more lengthy and complex than others, and some certainly cause more strain to your friendships. When I see videos from The Dice Tower or Rahdo’s Runthroughs I often wonder how on Earth they have that much time to try (and remember) the astronomical amount of games, and how they can make Top 100 lists. It is insanity, I tell you… This is an on-going list, surely to be updated every once in a while.
I don’t think I’ll be able to own a collection as extensive as those individuals, but never say never right? As per BoardGameGeek.com convention, games found there will be treated as valid — classic board games count! However, I will lump Big 2, President, Donkey, Go Fish under “Standard Card Deck games” for simplicity…
