My Top Threes
I was thinking about my favourite games and what my “Top Ten” list would look like. Spoiler Alert: I couldn’t come up with the list because there are so many games I like for different reasons.
So I decided to came up with a “Top Threes” list in different categories. Some categories are simply games produced by some of my favourite independent game publishers, others are just games I like to play with my kids. Not all are purely abstract strategy games, but many are. I hope you reading the list as much a I enjoyed putting it together.
