Hello!
I was inspired by @haveyouseenthismovie-poll , @haveyoureadthismanga-poll , @haveyouheardthisband , and a few others to make this poll blog!
I'll be mostly working off of Board Game Geek's list of board games, sorted by number of voters in descending order, and my own collection.
This is a list of games that Tumblr has played.
This is a full list of games that have already been submitted.
Submission Rules
-Only board games from 2021 and earlier.
-No tabletop RPGs. (Yes, the line between TTRPGs and board games can be a bit fuzzy at times, but I'll leave the TTRPGs for someone else to handle.)
-No more than 3 games per submission, and no more than one ask per day.
-No digital-only board games, but if you have played a digital version of a board game that also has a physical edition, like Root or Catan, then that counts as a "Yes" vote.
-No board game expansions unless they are standalone and bring new mechanics into play.
-No board game re-skins. If you have played a re-skin of a board game, I would count that as a "yes" vote for the base game. For example, if you've played Zombie Fluxx but not Fluxx, you can vote "yes" on the "Have you played Fluxx" poll.
IMO, the difference between a standalone expansion and a re-skin is that an expansion can be fully integrated with the original game, whereas a re-skin cannot. For example: You cannot take the cards from Clue and Dungeons & Dragons Clue, shuffle them together, and then expect the game to work. You can take the cards from Heart of Crown and Heart of Crown: Fairy Garden, shuffle them together, and the game will work as intended. The standalone expansion must also bring new mechanics to the table.
There are some games where this is a bit of a grey area. In such cases, I will default to considering them re-skins.
