This may not be where we would rate the games in a pure way if asked, "Please rate these games from best to worst." These are the games that rank high for us right now. These are games that may have surprised us and we just can't wait to play them again. Bob and Heather went home right away and put together their lists. Jennifer and I finally got around to it today. Some of our game choices surprised us. It's a fun to think, "What would I want to play again next if given the choice."
Something I found especially interesting was that for our initial lists we all picked Clue - Master Detective. I think most of us had played it at least once. I think we all just forgot how much we enjoyed it in the past and that there is a challenge we aren't used to. Even though it's based on a classic, it isn't a game style or mechanism we see in games we play.
No other game made every list, and everyone had some unique games. The next seemingly most popular to date is Canasta Caliente as it made three lists. This rummy style game isn't completely original, and it has many elements from other classic rummy and group making games. I think we enjoyed the team play and the little unique pieces and themes that make it intriguing.
There is only one other game that made more than one person's list, and that is Dutch Blitz. I don't really know what those two people see in the game. :) It basically stresses me out. I think both Bob and Jennifer excel at games of speed and matching in general (although Blink seems to be the exception for Jennifer -- that one seemed to elude her).
My last little observation is that Heather put three Cranium titles on her list. THREE! Obviously, they made an impression. We may be playing a lot more Cranium after this 100 game experiment is over. "Watch out Tigris & Euphrates, Heather is starting to eye a new game..."
Well here's to seeing our lists develop.
Happy Gaming,
Greg
