Chart of games played 2003 - 2013

A few points:
1. There are many 'perennials' that seem to have maintained a very consistent share of plays over the last 10 years, including Carcasonne, Power Grid, and Settlers, plus newer arrivals like Race for the Galaxy, Pandemic, and Dominion.
2. Puerto Rico is dwindling down to zero
3. There have been many 'flash in the pan' games like Quarriors, Dungeon Lords, and Kingdom Builder that gain significant share for a very brief time
4. Knizia's star has really fallen. In 2004-05 he had Ra, LOTR, Through the Desert, Tigris & Euphrates, and Ingenious, and since then after nothing on the list.

Can we talk about 2007? Holy boardgame dark ages, Batman. And Robin. And Nightwing, too, sure. Draw a line through Dec 2006 and I want to play: ARKHAM HORROR, TIGRIS & EUPHRATES, CITADELS, and... SETTLERS I guess? Jeez.

Weighted by play time would be interesting; I've got a ton of Perudo and Dixit plays, but I've got way more time invested in playing BSG (or several other "long" games).

Since Castles of Burgundy is between 100-95%, it means that of people playing games, 5% of the games played where Castles of Burgundy.
I've always hated data represented this way because most of the time you read a percentage from 0-X%. These charts are supposed to be a sort of linear pie chart or a pie chart over time.

They have that bland, appeal-to-everyone flavor. Like vanilla or Corona.

I think that's just people switching from M'44 to Commands & Colors: Ancients, which came out in 2006.ldsdbomber wrote: there must be a very strong effect of people stopping logging and/or being drowned by new users / cult of the new, I find it hard to believe for example that Memoir 44 died off as in that chart. Still pretty cool chart, though obviously very euro centric, as to be expected
It looks as if the chart requires a certain minimum number of plays from a game for it to be listed and neither M'44 nor CC:A probably reached that number after CC:A was published.

In that way it's fitting, as it's a fraction of a fraction of information supplied by a fraction of a fraction of game players.

1. This would not represent my game club at all.
2. There are 20+ people in my local club and most of them have never heard of BGG. 2-3 of them are actually collectors btw. I have run a twice yearly conventions for most of the last 13 years and have hardly heard BGG mentioned. Our metropolitan area is 100K + btw. I have never heard anybody say they record games at BGG. So potentially many games played are not logged. Maybe they do it secretly , who knows.
In the interest of full disclosure: I should point out we are usually 1-2 years behind any other trend out here(wiggers just arrived last week!), so maybe the same with games.
It's still interesting to see what's being recorded over at TOS, and I thank the original poster for putting it up.
The only games we play on the chart are Eclipse, Small World (rare) and King of Tokyo.
