Love Splendor! I bought 5 copies of that 2 years ago to hand out to folks at work :-) The next year it was Kingdomino. Slowly they are turning into board gamers!

[GuppyJ]

Definitely my favourite gaming play/review channel. Looking forward to seeing the journey your top 50 lists take.

[TheDarktater]

When I run through pubmeeple I also always ask myself "if I had the perfect group and the time which game would I rather play?" So glad you guys are doing this!
