Wow, shows how surprisingly strong 2020 turned out to be. We posted our top 12 here:

We definitely had some crossovers:

Oceans, The Crew, Viscounts & Lost Ruins all made our list.

Had we played Dune: Imperium last year, it would definitely have made it up there.

Thanks @BoardGameHalv for compiling and sharing the interesting list!

Love to see some love for Oceans! That one feels like it went under the radar for a lot of people, but I think it's so good.

Agreed! It is absolutely gorgeous and those Deep cards jack up the player experience to 10. Every game we have played has been completely different -- my two sons are away right now but when they are back, I want to get some more Oceans to the table

I'd love to get a 3 or 4 player game in some time soon. It's been probably a couple of months since I played. I'm sure my wife would be down to play it with me, but I like it better with 3 or 4
