How interesting and impactful were the last 10 years of board gaming to me? We look at this through a game lens, since anything other than that would be an overwhelming task as there are too many ameritrash and euro games. We also include the Spiel Des Jahres from each year, which has family games! Which year will be the standoff one and have the most games in the BGG top 100? How much tabletop knowledge do we have of each year? Which popular kickstarter games should we review next?
