Now that we’ve rolled into 2015, it’s time to look back over all the board games, card games, and party games I’ve played during the past year.
For 2014, I’ve played 127 different games!
While 61 of those games (48%) are just single plays, that means I’ve played 52% of those games at least a couple times.
And just because I’ve only played a game once, doesn’t mean it’s a bad game. There are plenty of those 61 games that I’d love to play many times.

Over the last 5 years we’ve posted reviews of 250+ board games, cards games, and party games. Which means we’ve also played a bunch more than that.
So we can attest that some games definitely take more work to figure out than others.

Last week we received the annual Holiday Gift Guide mailer from a great board game store in our area – Game Night Games.
I always love seeing what they include in their mailer and this year they included a number of Top 5 Games lists. So I thought it would be great to share their recommendations.
Why? Because this is their “day job”.
They’re dealing with customers every day, all day and they know what people are most interested in buying and playing. So it’s always a fun activity to see what they list.

We haven’t met a kid yet who doesn’t love going to the zoo. It’s fun seeing the wide variety of animals that you can see at a zoo.
So what could be better than a family board game where kids get to build and manage their own zoo!
In Zooloretto, players collect sets of animals and place them in their zoo to score points. The player who does the best job managing the animals in their zoo will be crowned the king of the zoos.

He loves games that makes him think and he loves a challenge. He also really likes doing some things on his own – like solving puzzles.
So I really shouldn’t be surprised that he gives Gravity Maze one of his highest ratings.
