Excellent list of 100 super games. Some fascinating choices of games I have not even considered. At the top, Cyclades is a wonderful game which, over time, I have collected all the expansions for. These expansions do a fantastic job of altering the base game experience, driving both the style and strategies of the game in new directions. Brilliant game that, even after well over a decade in production, has few peers.

I've got some even more ironic history to share if we ever find ourselves in a pub or at the gaming table together. p.s. I always suggest Board Game Atlas for anyone wanting a 'game collection' database they can record their owned games with. It even allows you to import a collection from BGG (even if banned there). The forum is v. quiet, but friendly and has a complete ban on socio-politics / religion, which means there's never any of the turkey shoots that BGG has.

Great work on the series. Never had you pegged as a Obsession's kind of dude. We enjoy Kemet, picked it up on your recommendation of the game, along with Ta Seti expansion. Then went on to pick up a used painted copy, which the family loves to play. If Cyclades does come out with a all in one box (similar to Kemet Blood & Sand) will have to weight up picking it up or a used copy of its predecessors. Personally prefer the large D4's in the original Kemet. Enjoy your Christmas, be it eating, drinking, spending time with family or a "line of Charlie".

Always love to see Cyclades getting some love. Very underrated game in my opinion. Would be great if they could reproduce this trilogy into sane sized boxes. I still need to play Memoir 44. I got to play Obsession once but we got forced into using the expansion for everyone's first play and it felt like a lot to take in at once. Would love to try the base game a few times before diving in further. Both of these are on BGA now, so hopefully I can explore them that way.
