Hi frens, Here are some honorable mentions to my list, games that are usually in the top 20, or have been in the top 10 at some point.
Core worlds: I think it was there once, but this game is the standard for consistency, Its always been in the top 20, and its almost 15 years old (2011) Its a deckbuilding game where you are conquering and colonizing planets, and the fun part of it is how you lay your troops and spacecraft on the board until you use them, so your deck fluctates in size. The first expansion transforms the game to super awesome.
Imperial steam is a fun train and stock game where there is a lot going on, but its action selection, with a lot of board variability, Its a race to build down from vienna to trieste, or 8 rounds, making deliveries to 4 key cities, and issuing stock. and the fun part is your score is just your money earned (whether it be from leftover money or contracts) Its a darned shame this game didnt get more love, I would of killed for another map, thats all the game needed.
Twilight inscription: What if you make a roll and write game of one of the most famously epic space opera games? Thats Twilight Inscription. I hate the game its based off of, too long, I dont like the fact my stuff can get blown up, planets conquered etc. Twilight inscription takes all that stuff, makes it into a 90 minute to 2 hour experience, And whats great is its fairly easy to learn and play, you activate one of your four boards a round, and there are events that happen every other round. Its seriously a great game. A great roll and write.
Hadrians Wall/The Anarchy:
I'm putting the anarchy on here even though ive only played it a few times, its the same DNA as Hadrians wall, its a heavy heavy flip and write game (The anarchy is the heaviest FAW game out there) where you get stuff, fill in on your sheets, get more stuff, rinse repeat. Its also fun, but its super dense, especially the anarchy's castle attack phase (I also hate catapults lol) BUT the anarchy's little mini games are much cleaner and easier to explain (I still dont understand how gladiators work in hadrians wall and ive played it nearly 30 times lol). Sometime soon I want to combine both boxes, they make dry erase boards but they are 20 bucks for 2, I wish they made a 4 pack. Oh well. Maybe when my sheets get super low.
Anyways there are a few games that didnt make the top 10 but are in my top 20 or have been in my top 10.
