BGG ratings mean nothing. Review scores mean nothing. The best game in your collection is the one with the most plays.
My BGG #1 is Brass: Birmingham (rated 9/10). But my most played game? Azul. And honestly? Azul brings me more joy per hour than Brass: Birmingham ever will.
Stop chasing ratings. Play what makes you happy. End of TED talk.
This is why I think accessibility matters more than depth. A perfect game you never play is worse than a good game you play weekly.
I mean... I play Brass: Birmingham weekly so I get both. But I take your point. If you only play it twice a year, maybe it shouldn't be your #1.
My most played game is Candy Land (I have a 4-year-old). Am I doing this wrong?
@tabletop_dad Candy Land with a kid who's excited about it > Brass: Birmingham alone. That's the whole point.
Hard agree. My group's "best" game isn't on anyone's top 100 list. It's **Camel Up**. We've played 80+ times and scream at every dice roll. That's peak board gaming.
