Five & Dime 2011: Lo, How The Mighty Have Fallen
These are games that have appeared on the Five & Dime lists before… and have fallen in overall playing percentages.
Just missed: Puerto Rico at -4.81%
I made a number of miscalls last year: Dixit, Hansa Teutonica & Forbidden Island didn’t find their way here… and Race didn’t rebound (due to the Alien Artifacts expansion coming out in 2012, not 2011 – btw, it’s really good!)
Pandemic continued a freefall in repeated play (it was #1 on this list last year as well) – but it’s still getting a lot of play.
In fact, that’s an important theme for this entire list… with a few exceptions, these are games in the top 25 (or top 50) of the Five & Dime Most Played list.
