Am I reading these wide angle graphs right? All of the games appear on a lower percentage of five and dime lists each year?
I guess this means we are a very fickle bunch. I would have expected some favorites to gain in popularity.
Yep, qzhdad, you are reading them correctly. With a very exceptions, games get less 5+ play every year.
While I'd agree in principle that we're a fickle bunch (gamers, that is), that's probably exaggerated on these lists because they are compiled from people who track their gaming - a subset of board gamers that (I would guess) are more likely to be card-carrying members of the Cult of the New.
That's "very FEW exceptions"... sigh.
