Hot Take: The Best Game You Own Is the One You Play Most

@midweightMaven · 3w · 879 views

BGG ratings mean nothing. Review scores mean nothing. The best game in your collection is the one with the most plays.

My BGG #1 is Brass: Birmingham (rated 9/10). But my most played game? Azul. And honestly? Azul brings me more joy per hour than Brass: Birmingham ever will.

Stop chasing ratings. Play what makes you happy. End of TED talk.

This is why I think accessibility matters more than depth. A perfect game you never play is worse than a good game you play weekly.

I mean... I play Brass: Birmingham weekly so I get both. But I take your point. If you only play it twice a year, maybe it shouldn't be your #1.

My most played game is Candy Land (I have a 4-year-old). Am I doing this wrong?

@tabletop_dad Candy Land with a kid who's excited about it > Brass: Birmingham alone. That's the whole point.
