Jake takes his shot at listing his top 20 games of all time as of Fall 2021. We count them down from 20-1 and talk about some of the things that didn’t make the list. Who is more correct on their list – Jake or Mark?

The Mogul Scale Living Document

Jake and Mark double down on the Old Hotness this week to discuss an amazing set of midweight games from over a decade ago. We ponder why all of these games have stood the test of time and examine what they all have in common. We also ponder why games that play well with 5 players aren’t more common.

Jake and Mark have an episode chock full of game plays – and a shocking number of them involve a lot of cubes. Whether for workers, resources, trains, or routes – it’s all so many cubes. We talk about Hallertau, Brass Lancashire, Gulf Mobile & Ohio, Indonesia, Erie Railroad, Mombasa, Reykholt, Viticulture, and lots more.

Jake’s back and he’s got games to talk about. We run through the games we’ve played including Decrypto, Cribbage, Trade on the Tigris, Santa Monica, Burano, Great Western Trail and Sleeping Gods. After that we run a lot of short topics up the flagpole – including those bedeviling games that we love but can’t win to save our lives. We also ponder as to if 18xx has jumped the shark?
