On Top Lists (With Top 10 Solo Games 2019)

I’ve always found the prospect of making top lists daunting – until two things happened almost simultaneously; I found the Ranking Engine, which made the process easier, and the hardworking kerskine started accepting submissions for the annual People’s Choice Top 200 Solo Games which motivated me to make my own list.

I’ve been coming up with excuse after excuse to postpone writing about the third edition of Dawn of the Zeds. I’ve told myself that there’s a lot more to explore, that I haven’t even read all the rules, that I haven’t played on all difficulty levels yet, that I’m not prepared to share my opinion yet.
