Welcome to yet another Top 5 list with OFPG's Mik and Starla, and this one's not for the rookies!
This time, we're talking about some of our favorite Middleweight games, or "Medium" in terms of difficulty as defined by BoardGameGeek Users via the Weight or Complexity Rating system! We're shooting for games that are a step up from gateway but still perfect for families that are "experienced" in the hobby.
