I've been tempted to make a Top 50 or Top 100 list at some point, but I'm not sure anyone else would care. Can I ask - why do you do it?
I enjoyed reading some of your takes on games I've played. I'm not sure anything I could write would add anything to the discourse about them.

Honestly, they need to be banned for private ownership. Organised displays I can live with, as I can just not go (or go further away if it's close) but letting anyone buy them was a massive mistake.

Look out for anything by Haba. They're usually good games as well as being 5yo friendly!

Not sure what he sees in the multi millionaire, pop star gorgeous, famously large breasted Katy Perry? There's a comedy sketch in there somewhere... 😉

I've let my class have this one (as the origins are harmless and it's just annoying to us grown ups!) on the understanding that they don't do it in Maths lessons!!!

I guess it depends if Posey wants a "Billy Beane in Moneyball" situation where the front office runs the team...
Personally I think the Giants need someone a bit different from what they've had, but with experience imo - they've gone through so many slumps and need a manager who can bust them out.

Les Miserables is the gold standard for me, but honestly it depends on your music taste. There's a musical out there for everyone!

Also, how on earth do they expect kids to "catch up" if they're only getting an AI teacher?!?!
Let alone all those other issues, it's a premise that is flawed from first principles!

Hope you don't mind me being curious - as an author, does it make a difference to you if people buy from a chain like Waterstones or from an independent bookshop?

The more of these that release, the more annoyed I am by the "Complete" Collection box that's on my shelf. I'm very tempted to sell it and message them to say why. It's pure greed at this point.
