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.
7 Wonders - 8
King of Tokyo - 7
Tumblin-Dice - 7
Bullenparty - 5
Extra! - 5
Las Vegas (aka Vegas) - 5
Pinguïn Party – 5
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.
