Top 10 Best Selling Games of 2018 

Not gonna lie, I would watch "Top 10 Topics We Did Not Make a Top 10 List For"

Interesting list that shows the competence of people involved: it is one thing to know the rules and enjoy the game. The other to start to see the other (business) side of things - board games are real and here to stay! Great stuff.

Kingdomino Age of Giants is a very underrated expansion. It adds so much to the game for such a cheap price, it's a must have.

Normally a "Spiel des Jahres" sells more than 300.000 copies in Germany during the first year. I think a game like Azul will top this by far. In the USA with lot more inhabitants the sales figures should rise to the Millions easily (sooner or later).

There aren't many good trick-taking games for two players, and Fox in the Forest really works. It has such strong word-of-mouth support that I'd bet many people add it on their order to break the threshold for free shipping.

I agree with Stained Glass not being as popular as Azul. Several “gamer” versions of simple games have been released such as Tsuro of the Seas, King of New York, Queendomino and so on and years later the originals are still showing up in Top 100s (and Top 10s) while the newer versions are unheard of. A lot of the original games mass appeal is their quickness and simple nature. The ability to play them with non-gaming family and friends, young children and so on. The majority of people who play those games aren’t thinking “I wish there were more rules”. 😄

Wingspan had just over 5000 preorders direct from Stonemaiergame.

I would watch the top ten Tom Tapestries (outfits) of 2018.

I wonder if Century Spice Road would have done better on this list if it was not available at Target.

I bet Wingspan is going to be high on this list next year.

Also Kingdomino is prob selling better at Target vs CSI

I did pre-order Charterstone (something I very rarely do) and ordered 3 copies, thinking it was going to be awesome and that I'd love it, both of those predictions were very wrong, unfortunately. I got rid of all of them, thankfully, and actually came out OK on most of my trades. I'm really shocked it keeps selling, it's really not a very good game, it has so many flaws.

Can you make a top ten “top ten lists from 2018”?

Wow that expansion list was a big letdown.

Charterstone surely benefitted from being on sale a couple times.

Expansions, my first thought was Rise of Fenris. Maybe Sagrada or Roll Player

Wingspan is going to crush the competition this year.

Can someone tell me which markets these lists are coming from? USA, North America, Worldwide?

I want a top 10 top 10 lists of 2018.

Is a Betrayal Legacy review by chance in the works?

Top ten schoolyard games please, thank you

What about the top 10 pop culture list like last year?

Will there be a “top 10 disappointments of 2018“ list?

Exploding Kittens sold over 200.000 copies on Kickstarter.

Stonemaier hype is real...

A top 10 list of top ten lists. Yup.

People chugging that Stonemaier koolaid.

Does Sam not even want to be there?

Honestly, at this point I ignore most of what comes out of Sam's mouth. He just gives off an impression of being too full of himself because of his own reviews and being part of the Dice Tower team. The way he looks down and scoffs at games he doesn't like or care for rubs me the wrong way. People can not like games, they are allowed to have opinions and impressions. But when you are part of a group, and you scoff at someone else's opinion or interests then that is showing a tremendous disrespect, both for your co-hosts, as well as the people who actually care for that game. Here I would say Marvel Legendary, but it has shown through in other places as well a video that leaps to my mind was when Tom was talking about a game he liked (Battleground Fantasy Warfare) and Sam scoffed and rolled his eyes. So for me just this massive disrespect for his co-hosts because he can't control his disdain for people liking things he doesn't for 15 minutes, and then his inserting his catchphrase into everything has me ignoring anything he releases, and actually skipping to the end of the top 10 lists because I dislike seeing Sam's view of other people's opinions that much. And then of course he gets upset when some of that is returned to him, he can dish it out, but god forbid you show him the same lack of respect he shows you, even if you are a close friend/co-host.

Boooooring. What a (mostly) boring list of games.
