Be aware of a few of things as you look at this list.
1. This was a gut instinct type of voting so there is some arbitrary-ness to it.
2. You could really group the games into sets of 5 (1-5, 6-10 etc.) and I probably like those games about the same, so really this is my top 13 favorite games.
3. I left out party games because I love them, but I can't remember which is which. Game of things and Wits and Wagers are awesome, but I don't remember what they are. Sometimes I mix up Taboo and Guestures. So just know that I've never played a party game I didn't like. Maybe I should try to make a list for just party games.
4. I also omitted old standby games, like Risk, Monopoly so on and so forth, which are good and fun but have basically been beaten to a bloody pulp by most of these games.
5. There are a few games looming on my horizon that I fully expect to find their way into my top 15. The Agents, Devistation of Indines, Galaxy Defenders, Xia.
