Hi,

Recently, a book came out where famous game designers talk about their favorite game (that they didn't have a hand in creating). So, of course, there's now:

Hobby Games: the 100 Best meme.

Do I have gamer cred??? )

Not too bad...although I am missing out on a bunch of the more recent boardgames and (of course) the very early old-skool wargames.

I am now adding to the meme:

What's the 101st game that you would've added to this list?

I think I'd add the 18xx series of railroad games. They have a very dedicated following (there are usually lots of dedicated slots for railroad games at conventions) and they've been around for a number of years.

I'm vaguely curious to read the book this list came from now...
