Five & Dime 2011: Wide Angle Lens (The BGG Top Twenty-Five)

Using the BGG Top 100 games (as of Wednesday, May 30th, 2012)... here's the "wide angle" graphs for the top twenty-five games that have been around 4+ years. (To get to 25 games whilst skipping those with a shorter track record, I actually ended up listing 36 games. Sue me.)

Yes, I just did this a few months ago with the 2010 stats... but it was worth updating.

#1: Twilight Struggle








#2: Agricola






#3: Puerto Rico

#4: Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization







#5: Power Grid (includes Funkenschlag & expansions)











#6: Le Havre





#8: Brass






#10: Caylus








#11: Dominion





#13: El Grande














#14: Race for the Galaxy






#15: Euphrat & Tigris














#16: War of the Ring








#20: Battlestar Galactica





#22: Paths of Glory














#24: Command & Colors: Ancients







#25: Age of Steam










#26: Princes of Florence













#27: Twilight Imperium (all editions)








#28: Stone Age





#29: Combat Commander






#30: Goa









#32: Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage














#33: Crokinole














#36: Here I Stand

Are the color bars corresponding to years?

I'm not sure if I've understood your expression ""wide angle" graphs for the top twenty-five games" correctly. You said about most colours that were used for games? or all colours for each game?

"Wide angle" is my moniker for all of these graphically based posts. Each bar of color represents a year of Five & Dime play - and 2011 is the top bar of each graph.

Ii also do a number of posts like this by year of release.
