Top 10 Games of 2017 Honorable Mention: Gloomhaven So with all that out of the way, let’s get to the games.

While Downforce, FlipShips, Meeple Circus, Unlock!, Civilization: New Dawn, Seikatsu, and Rhino Hero: Super Battle are all ones I enjoyed but just missed the cut. Games such as Lisboa, Whistle Stop, Dinosaur Island, Too Many Bones, and Dragonfire are ones I’m hoping to get to the table soon. Many of these games could easily be #1.įinally, as usual, there were a few games that didn’t quite make the list, mostly because I haven’t played them. For me, there was no one game that stood out heads and shoulders above the others as in previous years. I also don’t recall a year when I’ve had such a hard time ranking games. Now mind you, this isn’t Board Game Quest’s consensus “best games” of the year, those come in the Spring when our entire editorial staff collaborates on our Board Game Awards winners. But regardless, this is where I get to choose my ten favorite games of the year (so far) and highlight them. Plus, there are the Essen releases still trying to make their way across the pond.

This is always a hard list to write because there are always so many games I want to include. As is the tradition here at BGQ, we close out the year with my Top 10 Games of 2017.
