For a few years, I interviewed board game illustrators on my website. It was surprisingly rare for artists to get namechecked, and I wanted to spotlight their incredible work.

Thankfully, the industry promotes art more than it did then, but not as much as I would like to see.

I could never quite figure out how to give games a rating in the traditional way (3/10, 4.5 stars out of 5), or create a Top 100 List (rank Kemet against So Clover?), but when I considered using a Tier system, it all snapped into place for me. Here's the formatting of it that I used. 1/4
I'm seeing the S / A / B / C video-game style tiers in increasingly more board game content - is this basically top ten lists for gen z and millennials who want to appear hip?

Hello to all the new followers here! I'm Arwen (she/her) and I run the Cardboard Time podcast where I talk about Board Games and conduct interviews. (I'm also known by some for my shelf of aspiration). I thought I'd do a little starter pack for those unfamiliar with my work!
