    Revisiting our 2018 top 10 part 1: 

    Jason:  10 - Everdell: probably be higher on the list now. One of the few on this portion of the list I have played since we did this list.

    Joel: 10 - Villainous- Good, but too weird for most situations

    Jason:  9 - Gearworks: this would be off the list. Haven’t played it since and in hindsight probably shouldn’t have been on here.

    Joel: 9 - Guardians- Still really good, but my taste in games continues to evolve. 

    Jason:  8 - Spirits of the Wild: played this a lot since this list. I still enjoy it. It is a quick and fun 2 player game.

    Joel: 8 - Temporal Odyssey- Moved this to a friend’s house. Again, taste in games has changed.


    Jason:  7 - Spell Smashers: still agree with this pick. Haven’t played this since the original list was made but definitely want to. 
    Joel: 7 - Gizmos


    Jason:  6 - Legend of the Cherry Tree: one of my favorite push your luck games. Still under the radar and I love it. I have played this a lot since making this original top 10.
    Joel: 6 - Western Legends

    Closing: 

    Root, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Teotihuacan, Chronicles of Crime, Gugong, Underwater Cities, Newton, Dice Throne Season 1, Imaginarium, Architects of the West Kingdom, Palm Island
