Pandemic & Agricola traded places (1st & 2nd)... and while Power Grid fell from 3rd to 16th, I'm just impressed with the staying power (unintentional title echo - sorry) of this game. Race & Dominion both stay in the middle of the pack due to the vast number of Dimes they both receive. Last year, I had prematurely predicted Notre Dame to drop off and was wrong. This year, I tried again and the game dipped below the line. I also thought that this would be the list for Agricola to "hang on" with if it didn't make any other list (ha!)... I guess 2nd place counts as "hanging on," right?
My predictions for next year:
- Puerto Rico finally says "goodbye," 9 years after burning up the charts when it debuted.
- Endeavor is also a goner.
- Agricola will slide but not fall off the list; this will also be true for Pandemic, Roll Through the Ages & Ticket to Ride.
Predicting Endeavor to drop off is a bit of a risk. I suspect you may be right, however, like Notre Dame, a year early.
