I completed my 20×5 for 2023! Woo! I actually finished it all up at the fall Board Game Geek convention, getting in my final plays of Petrichor as well as Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy.

Board Game Geek Top 100 Checklist, Part 3
I have written a series of posts looking at the Board Game Geek (BGG) top 100 games, checking to see if I had the game in my collection and talking a little bit about each one, if I could. At the end of the first twenty games covered I owned 8 of them, for a 40% ownership rate. Today I will cover games ranked from 80 up to 71 and see where the ratio ends up.
For all posts in this series check for the BGG Top 100 tag. Continue reading “Board Game Geek Top 100 Checklist, Part 3”
