In order to keep the list to a manageable size I’ve clustered games into series and families where possible. Thumbnail ‘reviews’ and game descriptions I particularly like, I’ll add, with a credit, to the brief game descriptions within the table. If you’d like to explain or illuminate your choices with a pithy sentence or two, please do. This act will cast the fifteen votes you have at your disposal (Your top choice will get five votes, your second choice four votes, third choice three votes, and so on.) It might take me a day or two to process your comment, but rest assured your ballot paper will eventually get counted.

This isn’t one of those articles where a small cabal of callow generalists pretend they know better than an army of grizzled specialists.
