Next is 70-61. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">70. <a data-unsp-sanitized=\"clean\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/157969\/sheriff-nottingham\">Sheriff of Nottingham<\/a><br>Arcane Wonders<br>Designer: S\u00e9rgio Halaban, Andr\u00e9 Zatz<br>Owned: Yes<br><br>Why it is on the list:\u00a0  I&#8217;ve got ONE APPLE! Ok&#8230;only a handful of people will get that but that was one of the more memorable games of Sheriff I&#8217;ve played. Sheriff is a fun bluffing game that will frequently create a lot of good laughs. <br><br>Who may like it:\u00a0  It has a great theme, so if you&#8217;re a fan of Robin Hood you may enjoy. Or a fan of bluffing or not bluffing when people think you will. Jennifer, my wife NEVER lies and wins the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cf.geekdo-images.com\/imagepagezoom\/img\/N0WMfkbjOYsOn341wkKNiWnwE1g=\/fit-in\/1200x900\/filters:no_upscale()\/pic2431484.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>Sheriff of Nottingham game displayed on boardgamegeek.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">69. <a data-unsp-sanitized=\"clean\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/155624\/specter-ops\">Specter Ops<\/a><br>Plaid Hat Games<br>Designer: Emerson Matsuuchi<br>Owned: NO<br><br>Why it is on the list: As mentioned I enjoy hidden movement games. I mostly only enjoy them if I am hiding. This one adds a traitor mechanic at 5 players which is also fun. It ALSO is part of the Dead of Winter mythos which I enjoy. <br><br>Who may like it:\u00a0   Fans of spy stories, corporate espionage, or larger stories. We still intend to play all of the games in this family in one long play session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">68. <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/10547\/betrayal-house-hill\">Betrayal at House on the Hill<\/a><br>Wizards of the Coast<br>Designer: Bruce Glassco, Rob Daviau, Bill McQuillan, Mike Selinker, Teeuwynn Woodruff<br>Owned: YES <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it is on the list: Who doesn&#8217;t love a good haunted house story? While the game isn&#8217;t perfect (for example&#8230;I practically NEVER get to be the traitor no matter how hard I try) the game is still a ton of fun and a great time. It is part of the class and typically goes over well there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    Fans of haunted houses, light horror themes and utter chaos&#8230;and shoddily written rule sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">67. <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/2653\/survive-escape-atlantis\">Survive! Escape from Atlantis! <\/a><br>Stronghold Games<br>Designer: Julian Courtland-Smith<br>Owned: NO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it is on the list: Take that games aren&#8217;t always fun. This one is always fun. I think it is because it is less serious than other ones&#8230;but this is a take that game where no one ever seems to really get upset and everyone just enjoys themselves while playing the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    People who like screwing over their friends in a fully unoffensive way you can all laugh about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cf.geekdo-images.com\/imagepage\/img\/NlCi4gAlfXjbv-wqrLxAjuY3UqE=\/fit-in\/900x600\/filters:no_upscale()\/pic909760.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>A game of Survive!

I would rather sit and play a deep, intensive strategy game that is miserable and I KNOW I&#8217;m gonna lose from turn one (see: #1 on the list when we get there) than a fun, social game where we sit around and laugh 10 out of 10 times. HOWEVER, if I&#8217;m GOING to play a party game, my favorite ones are where you get to know the other people. ALSO: this is one that is EASILY modifiable by writing your own question for other purposes. I write my own questions to make this people answering student org questions and it works well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    This game definitely lends towards more social people who want to get together, laugh, and get to know each other better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">65. <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/169426\/roll-player\">Roll Player<\/a><br>Thunderworks Games<br>Designer: Keith Matejka<br>Owned: Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it is on the list: This is a game I want to add to the class. I just have to get the funding to buy enough copies of it. Frequently, one of the most fun things with role playing games is building your character. So this game&#8230;all you do (in the base game) is roll-up and build a DnD character. Trying to get your rolls to fit your class, background, etc. And it is done EXTREMELY well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    Fans of Dungeons &amp; Dragons or other Role Playing Games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">64. <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/148951\/tiny-epic-kingdoms\">Tiny Epic Kingdoms<\/a><br>Gamelyn Games<br>Designer: Scott Almes<br>Owned: Yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it is on the list: I mean&#8230;it is Tiny AND Epic&#8230;and some of those games are great and some are REALLY bad. This is a really fun Tiny Epic area influence game. It follows a lot of the things that are familiar in Tiny Epic games such as, well..following. This one set the ground for future games like Galaxy and Quest and is a fun, simple area influence game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    Fans of fantasy games and surprisingly deep strategy games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">63.<a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/247236\/duelosaur-island\"> Duelosaur Island<\/a><br>Pandasaurus Games<br>Designer: Ian Moss<br>Owned: Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it is on the list: When we got Dinosaur Island during the second kickstarter our decision to also get Duelosaur was &#8220;why not?&#8221;  We&#8217;ve played it and it is a very strong 2 Player game. It feels like a scaled down Dinosaur Island. It definitely is smaller and not as full featured as DI&#8230;nor should it be. It is a shorter, excellent 2 Player game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    Lovers of Jurassic Park or all things dinosaurs and who want a smaller game. For real&#8230;Dinosaur Island has a huge footprint-this much less so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cf.geekdo-images.com\/imagepage\/img\/J7AhoCxQt3sdIJ6whyjo5KLAZjE=\/fit-in\/900x600\/filters:no_upscale()\/pic4563602.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>In progress game of Duelosaur Island; image from boardgamegeek.com <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">62. <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/198994\/hero-realms\">Hero Realms<\/a><br>White Wizard Games<br>Designer: Robert Dougherty, Darwin Kastle<br>Owned: NO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it is on the list: The first deck builder I played was Star Realms&#8230;in a manner it isn&#8217;t meant to be played. (3 player).  Star Realms is a very fun game&#8230;but the 4 player nature of this game with some other twists makes this a much better deck builder to me. It isn&#8217;t by far my FAVORITE deck builder (that&#8217;ll be in the top 5&#8230;I love deck building) but it is a very solid deck builder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    Deck building and fantasy fans. Fans of star realms who want to play more than 1v1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">61.  <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/162007\/steampunk-rally\">Steampunk Rally <\/a><br>Roxley Game Laboratory<br>Designer: Orin Bishop<br>Owned: NO <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why it is on the list: What happens if you take some of the greatest inventors or scientists of all time and tell them to create crazy contraptions to compete against each other in a race&#8230;but the materials they need will be chosen in a draft? You get Steampunk Rally-an amazing drafting\/racing\/building game. Just like many building games often the contraptions built are part of the wonders of the game-but this is an excellent, fun, over the top racing game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who may like it:\u00a0    Fans of history and people who can see things from A LOT of different angles. There is a lot of &#8220;if I add this I&#8217;ll need this and to add this but then I&#8217;ll need&#8230;&#8221; that happens in the game&#8230;and it works fantastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cf.geekdo-images.com\/imagepage\/img\/465Jzx9rGX5UA4bcOA7lf5dovek=\/fit-in\/900x600\/filters:no_upscale()\/pic2298145.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>A machine for racing.
