A lot of my games are considered second-tier or garbage by others on this website, but I enjoy them and that makes them top-tier games for me.

I have games that I think are just okay, but not great, because I am a social gamer who plays with a wide variety of different people whose tastes, skills, gaming experience and interests are different than mine.

See, this is funny to read when people have dumped on Pandemic and Dominion in the flashback thread for having their core mechanic become redundant as later games integrated them into new settings and larger systems. If you dismiss Pandemic as a puzzle, that’s fine, but these two are diamond-honed systems without fluff.
Sorry for diverging.

Michael Barnes wrote: Pete’s #3 point is oh so true...and it speaks to what is wrong with a lot of current “kitchen sink” designs. If you look at Knizia’s best work, or Kramer’s for that matter...those designs are intensely focused on a mechanical or gameplay concept. There are no subsystems, there is nothing bolted on to a lean chassis. The success of games like Azul, Century, and Splendor suggest that there IS still a want/demand for these kinds of games.
