After discussing the top five games, the question which remains is what are the other great games that Beaumont Enterprise, List Challenges, Ranker and The Richest had on their lists?
That’s a fair question and we are happy to share our research. The four surveys generated a total of 32 games that were in the top 20 category. Obviously simply combining the lists isn’t very scientific, but it gives some really good results for the top ten games and a descent ranking for the next ten. And the remainder are potentially questionable in their overall ranking, but clearly high up on the list for a lot of people.
Here are the complete results:
