Dear game lovers,
The new top 50 of unplugged board and cardgames has been put online
The ratings of the Speelduivel have been removed as no new ratings were added since December 2006.
This causes that some well rated Speelduivel games drop a few places in the ranking,
where poorly rated Speelduivel games will now win some places in the ranking…
5 new games in the top 50 compared to the previous update:
36. Stone Age (Hans im Glück - 2008)
44. Carabande/ Pitchcar (Goldsieber, Ferti – 1996)
47. Ticket to Ride: Die Märklin Edition (Days of Wonder – 2006)
49. Time’s Up (R&R Games, Asmodée – 2000)
50. ConHex (3-Hirn-Verlag, Clemens Gerhards – 2002)
Only Stone Age is a real entry. Stone Age was selected as game of the moment in June’08 and now entries the top 50.
The game will certainly be enjoyed by players who like Die Saulen der Erde:
