POLL: You are stuck on a desert island. Which board game group do you want with you?
26 votes
There are tons of board games out there, and more keep coming in, but each decade has its gems. If you were stuck on a desert island, which of these board game groups would you choose to have with you?
In terms of players, you always have people to play with that make for the perfect play count of any game you choose.

Hard to argue with this list - there are a lot of classics in there! My only reason for not picking it is that I haven't played most of those!

Based on my top 10 games 2017 and onwards makes sense. Although, if I have to play purely solo games then the answer becomes a lot more spread out. :)

Well this is excruciating! My top 10 is split between the final two categories, but I think I'll have to go with "2017 and on." Even ignoring the obvious loophole that this includes all yet unreleased games until the end of time, that's got a huge concentration of my favorite games, with the next most being from 2011-2016 (notably #Inis and #Santorini)

Lordy, don't force me back to the 1980s!!
I'm sure I would be happy with either of the following three categories. Our hobby blossomed after the milennium and whilst we may argue some years are worse than others, each recent year has offered massive choice compared to any year in the 1980s (or indeed 1990s), and on the whole some good lessons were learnt about issues with those older games, issues that we accepted at the time for 'that's how it is', but in hindsight we were far too tolerent of player elimination and overly long games that lacked any real progression in the experience over that time.

Great question!
My eyes immediately run up, because I love games and computers so much, and now I started to understand how all those games are created and it's mega interesting, for example, on this site you can see a lot of interesting things.
And on a desert island you can definitely take one of the games above written.
