✦ Honorable Mentions
Dragonfire. math-y D&D adventuring
Eldritch Horror. grandiose adventure, too long to consider it in the top list
Grifters. very good set collection game that didn't make the cut
Lords of Waterdeep. best gateway worker placement game
Marvel United. extremely fun and simple co-op game
Merchants of the Dark Road. too complicated to make the cut, maybe in the future?
Sentient. MATH
Godzilla: Tokyo Clash. didn't make the cut for now, need to play it more
Tortuga 2199. deckbuilding game with area control, need to play it more
Transmissions. a rather simple game with lots of engine building
