Top Board Games of 2021

As you know, we love board games (particularly strategy board games) and play them pretty regularly with our friends, Chad and Carlie. A few years ago we started keeping a Game Night Ledger because we often found ourselves in arguments about who wins what the most. The Ledger has proven to be very handy, and not a Game Night goes by where we don't have to refer to The Ledger in some capacity. The Ledger is also very useful in that we can use it to determine our Top Ten games each year. 

To ascertain our Top Ten, we count the number of Game Nights we played each game (rather than the number of times we played each game - because some games are super short and we can play them several times in one night, and that doesn't mean they should be ranked higher than a game that takes two hours) (don't think too hard about this. Just know that we have a good system for naming our Top Ten, and you can trust us). 

Without further ado, here are our Top Ten games of 2021:

 #10: Karma

(a game I always lose)

#9: Hacienda

(one of my personal favorites)

#8: Risk

#7: Azul

#6: Raccoon Tycoon

(i.e. the game that nearly got us divorced)

#5: Bohnanza

#4: Mariposas

#3: 7 Wonders

(formerly our first place winner)

#2: Love Letter

#1: Wingspan

(two years running)
