You can kinda see glimmers of it in the top 100 with movies like a serious man and yi yi

Yeah I’d love to see thatβ€”I’ve seen boardgame sites do a thing where they flag games that have lots of overlap on multiple people’s top 10/100 lists. I bet that would surface so many great movies that deserve more visibility

Some of the individual top tens are interesting and surprising!

In the Weeds – A Hot Streak Review The smell was unbearable. It was a mixture of sweat and piss; the suit forever marked with the fluids of previous captives. His eyes burned but all he could do was feebly rub his forearm around the…

Why bet on horses when you can bet on D-list mascots? Hot Streak is a revelation. Rarely is a game equal parts absurd and committed.

If there's one thing I wish the boardgame crowd could internalize, it's this. You never hear designers say "Oh there's nothing to it" pejoratively about a game.

If it's said, it's usually in AWE.

This is hands down my favorite race/betting/party game. I've played it a handful of times at different events over the last few months and every one has been a blast. It a perfect depiction of mascot races down to the human eyes inside the costumes.

Quacks publisher CMYK is launching a TV game show based on another Wolfgang Warsch game this year - CMYK, the US publisher of Quacks of Quedlinberg and Wavelength, is making the jump to television with the launch of a game show on CBS based on another Wolfgang Warsch design.

Illusion (now aka Figment) is the one and only game my parents went out and bought for themselves after playing it with me. Now to be a game show?!?!

Congrats to @cmyk.games & Wolfgang Warsch!

A game from the CMYK Magenta line. The bright pink box and rule book are on the table. Some of the cards are spread out on the table. They depict an artistic look of fruit.

πŸπŸ“ Get Ready for a Fruity Showdown! πŸ“πŸ

Fruit Fight is a 90-card game where you flip cards, claim matching ones, and bewareβ€”if you collect 3+ of the same number, you must discard! Tally points at the end, and the highest scorer wins!

Loving the Magenta line from CMYKβ€”such a fun time! πŸŽ‰ @cmyk.games

Can confirm, as a New College Classics grad in the mid 2000s. The entire NCF Humanities faculty punched well above their weight. Tragic shit.

I run a game studio and have been pretty successful either ignoring our audience completely, or deliberately pushing their taste levels. But I do occasionally pause and make sure whatever we’re making is intelligible to someone who’s a β€œsmart outsider”
