Top Ten Games Of All Time (2015 edition)

Top Ten Games Of All Time 

2015 edition 

Well here we are, the top ten games of all time for the Board Game Ripper. This was a good year for me as my top ten went through a lot of changes with a lot of movement. Some new games have made their way onto the list and we see a few favorite drop off. Overall I am pretty happy with the entire top 100 in general and I am excited to remake this list at the end of the year as I have played some amazing games this year that I am positive have earned a place on the list. But now lets move on to the top ten starting with:

            I have done a terrible job this year of posting my top 100 game list for the 2015 year. Originally I wanted to have it all posted by the end of January but than life caught up to me and well…it just didn't happen. So a few months went by and I tried to finish what I had started so long ago and it went good. But than life got to me yet again and my progress came to a halt. So now I have renewed confidence to try this once more…..but let's start that next year. I plan on posting my true top 100 list next year which will be a lot better for me since I know that this list will have some drastic changes to it as several of the games currently on it have fallen off. So to finish the 2015 list I will simple post it for you all to see and will post a second entry for the top ten. I promise I will do better next year; I will improve. But for now, here is my top 100 board games of all time: 11-100.

DICE TOWER AWARDS 2015 - Part Two

DICE TOWER AWARDS 2015

Part Two

            First I would like to thank you for continuing to read my thoughts on the Dice Tower Awards Nominations for 2015, assuming you read part one first. Here I will give my opinions and choose who I think should win the awards for the remainder of the categories. Hopefully you find reading this just as much fun as I've had making this post, and I would encourage you to do the same. On with the awards.

Part One

The Dice Tower Awards are upon us, and I have heard quite a buzz from the many pod casts I listen to as people discuss the nominations and the general excitement on waiting for the results to be announced. Now, usually I don't really care all too much who wins in these awards, but I thought it might be fun to explore this topic this year. I thought it would be fun to go through the categories and give my opinion on the nominations as well as cast my vote for who I think should win. I will be casting my vote for the chosen nominations even though in several categories I would have picked a different game, but I am going to follow the guidelines of the awards. Later in the year I plan to give my own awards just for fun and will name the best games of the year closer to the holiday season. But enough of the general chatter, let's get on with the first part of my look at the awards.

Ripper's Top 100 Games 90-81

Ripper's Top 100 Games

2015 Edition

 

              I have been in the gaming hobby for seven years now ever since I ordered my first batch of games with Chaos in the Old World in 2009. This has been an amazing experience for me and I have grown to love so much about this hobby. I remember that my very first exposure to the hobby was with Vikings; a board game I bought my girlfriend (now wife) for her birthday since she loved to talk about it. After playing it for the first time I was hooked and made my first board game order the very next week. Since than my collection has grown to over two hundred board games and I host a game night every week at my home. I truly love this hobby and couldn't imagine my life without the fond memories, experiences and friends I have made through it.

Last year I decided to make a top 50 board game list since everyone seemed to be doing it and I had a blast trying to sort through my collection to find my favorite games. I have decided to continue with this list only this year I am expanding the list to included my top 100 favorite board games. Now I know I should have posted this list in January since I made it the last week of 2015 but the Ripper is lazy some times. So after sitting on my shelf for two months, I have finally gotten to the task of publishing my top 100 games of all time, 2015 edition. I have compared this list to my first list and will include the statistics for games that appear on both list. I hope to continue to make this list every year and hope that you enjoy my 90-81.
