Love The Mind. Despite its simplicity, it has climbed in my rankings over time. Playing with new people is always fun, but its also great to break out while waiting for food at a restaurant or something with the same person over and over.

Stockpile is definitely in my top 20 games of all time and our group loves it. The first expansion really adds a lot to an already good game and there's a second that was just kickstarted. They might still have "pre-order" options. He didn't mention the "characters" you can play as in the game are all based on real people like Martha Stewart, Mark Cuban, Oprah, Bernie Sanders, to name a few. That also makes it interesting because everyone has different abilities that help in different ways. I highly recommend Stockpile. It plays up to 5 players and is 100% worth it. Everyone we've ever taught it to (and that's dozens) has loved the game.

It’s in our group’s top 20 games and we’ve played hundreds and hundreds of different games. I can’t recommend it enough, especially with the first expansion. The expansion adds a bunch to an already great game.

Another fun list, Jon - thank you! I need to seek out Stockpile. I too enjoy Avenue. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out Silver and Gold. That's been a hit of a little game at my home. The only game here that made me wince is Onitama. In my experience, games just draged (players were defensive and there was little impetus for forward movement). I'd recommend Hive and Santorini over that one by far. Looking forward to seeing your top 10.

Stockpile is an amazing game and the expansion adds a ton to the game. They just finished a kickstarter for the base game and the 2 expansions. As far as I'm aware, this is the last printing of the game so I would highly recommend checking out the KS. Our group truly enjoys the game and so far, everyone we've ever taught the game has loved it.

Completely agree with you on The Mind! It's by far my most played game and nearly every time I play with a new group, someone ends up buying their own copy. Sign of a great game right there!

12:00 Wow! Based on the games which were on the list so far, I never would have guessed that you were into a medium-weight Euro like Robinson Crusoe. It seemed that you were more into lighter games - and it did not seem like there have been many Euro games on your list.

I'm glad that John and others enjoy it, but I still don't understand how The Mind is a game. I've played it several times and it was never satisfying. I tried bringing it to my gaming group and they asked me if this was an elaborate practical joke. We played once and then I was asked not to bring it again.

Spartacus is very much like the tv show. They actually succeded in making a game that is perfect for that show. I absolutely love the game and I love the show! If you are not afraid of boobs, dicks and comic booky violence then I think that you should try watching a couple more episodes cause it really needs a couple of episodes before it sinks in.

I played "The Mind" once, and I'll never touch it again. It completely fell flat for the group I was with. I've played many games, both good and bad. But I've never played a game where the group was openly laughing at how terrible the game was. We had more fun crapping all over The Mind, than actually playing the Mind. I would even go so far as to say it's not a game at all, but an activity. I find it surprising that many people have it so high on their list of games. I can see some saying it's mediocre, but having it a top 10 game? Honestly, I'd rather play Uno than the mind. Having said that, I love the designer's Quacks of Quedlingburg, and I just got Taverns of Tiefenthal, which I am eager to play.
