Five & Dime List 2012

7 Wonders is my most played game for a second year in succession, albeit with many less plays than the previous year.  In fact there were no ‘Dimes’ and a mere seven games were ‘Fives’. 

The common feature of all of these games is that they are ‘super-fillers’, taking 30 minutes or less to play.  Maybe this reflects less time for boardgames or possibly a trend in the industry, time will tell.

Game – 2012 Plays

7 Wonders - 8

King of Tokyo - 7

Tumblin-Dice - 7

Bullenparty - 5

Extra! - 5

Las Vegas (aka Vegas) - 5

Pinguïn Party – 5

Canyon - 4

Kolejka - 4

Pickomino (Heckmeck) - 4

In 2011 7 Wonders got to the table no fewer than 30 times and Pinguïn Party, Dixit and 23 were all ‘Dimes’.

Hopefully 2013 will see many more hours spent gaming with more (longer) strategic games hitting the table.
