These remain unchanged as of 01 Jan 2013.
I will move RISK: LEGACY to Top 5 though, so fucking fresh. Love it. Taking off MARVEL HEROES for that. DESCENT is not what it once was to me, but what goes in there? I'll do MAGE KNIGHT. That game makes me think.


MARVEL HEROES
DUNE
DESCENT
DOOM
SIEGE OF THE CITADEL
STAR WARS RISK: THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY EDITION
NEXUS OPS

I'm going to clear off NEXUS OPS and RISK, those are great, but not Top 5 material for me. I wish DOOM was as expanded as DESCENT, because I like the setting more. But I'll clear it off, DESCENT can be the only game left and it'd still be fresh for years.

I haven't played DUNE and SIEGE OF THE CITADEL enough to keep them in the Top 5, but I bet they'd stay there once I get some more plays in.

Other games I suspect I may totally dig but have never played: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, TWILIGHT IMPERIUM 3E, WAR OF THE RING, CHAOS IN THE WOLD WORLD, MIDDLE EARTH QUEST, and SPACE HULK.

War of the Ring
Nexus Ops
Tales of the Arabian Nights
Heroscape
Cash N Guns

Dune

Cosmic Encounter

Dungeon Twister

Magic Realm

Star Wars: Epic Duels

1- Advanced Civ
2- M:TG (right category??)
3- Junta
4- Neuroshima Hex!
5- Warrior Knights

Battlestar Galactica
Cosmic Encounter
Cutthroat Caverns
Heroscape
Last Night on Earth

Let's see... right now that would be:

Magic Realm
Merchant of Venus
Android
Marvel Heroes
Titan (or is this a wargame instead?)

1. Cosmic Encounter
2. Fury of Dracula
3. SW: Epic Duels
4. Dune
5. Snits' Revenge

Titan
Descent
War of The Ring
A Game of Thrones
Arkham Horror

I believe at this point, Clearclaw would state, "Forming such a list is a delicious task rife with difficult choices, the ramifications of which causing a selection matrix that engages the player in the myopic task of the elimination of the manipulation of ambiguity."




1. War of the Ring
2. Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit
