Snoop's Top 100 (sort of...)

Greetings!

Mark Jackson asked me to compile my personal top 100 list of games in light of our recent ONE HUNDRED project. Now, I can't figure out why anyone would be interested in reading such a list. Still, when a pastor asks you to do something, it's always best to oblige.

I'm only giving the top 50 their own individual entries. I'll list 100-51, but truth be told, I just got lazy. These bloggy things take time. You'll also notice I wrote only minimal descriptions for entries 50-26. Laziness again, but really, how many times can you say a game is wonderful, brilliant or incredible?

For the most part, these numbers are pretty accurate. My first list of favorites came out to 118 titles -- pretty close! Once I shaved off 18 titles I clumped the games in groups:

I. THOSE THAT WOULD BE NEAR THE TOP
II. THOSE THAT WOULD BE NEAR THE BOTTOM
III. EVERYTHING ELSE

For each of these cleverly described groups, I did a manual bubble sort. I gave the list a hard look and imagined which game I would knock off if I could keep all but one. Then I did the same with the remaining games, and so on until I ranked all 100 games.

I'd like to thank everyone who took all the photos. The majority were "borrowed" from BoardGameGeek (even the few I took myself).

Okay, here's 100-51
