Everything including the kitchen sink... but with special attention paid to board games, Jesus Christ, my family, being a "professional" (and I use that word loosely) Christian, and the random firing of the 10% of the synapses I'm currently using.

Five & Dime 2009: Lo, How The Mighty Have Fallen
These are games that have appeared on the Five & Dime lists before... and have fallen in overall playing percentages.
As usual, I'm pretty darn accurate at predicting what will be on this list - I was sure that Agricola would be #1 (and I was right, even with the great year it had) and also nailed In The Year of the Dragon & Hanging Gardens. I missed (but only by two places) Stone Age.
The big question for next year: what will happen to Dominion? Will the plethora of expansions widen the appeal or narrow the rabid fan base?.
Predictions: Pandemic will drop hard again (sadly) as will Agricola, Race for the Galaxy & (crossing my fingers for luck) Dominion.
I would think you'd have better accuracy if you waited for the year after the last Race for the Galaxy expansion to predict a major decline.
ReplyDeleteYou might be more accurate predicting Dominion with the impending threat of expansion fatigue after four expansions in a two year period and undoubtedly more announced before the end of the year.
