Board Games Tier List Maker

Game-night canon or shelf of shame? Drag every board game into its tier and settle what you're playing this weekend.

Unranked items — drag them up into a tier

Tip: drag with your mouse on desktop or your finger on mobile. Double-tap a tier label to rename it.

Gateway games and the Monopoly problem

Board game rankings hinge on who's at the table. Gateway games (Ticket to Ride, Azul, Codenames) rank S for getting non-gamers to play a second round — a genuine design achievement hobbyists sometimes sneer at. Heavier games (Brass, Spirit Island, Gloomhaven) top enthusiast lists but die on a Tuesday with four casual friends. And then there's Monopoly, which almost every serious list buries in F while it remains one of the best-selling games ever made. Rank for the table you actually have, not the one you wish you had.

Frequently asked questions

Is Monopoly really as bad as everyone says?

As a design, yes — player elimination, runaway leader, and an hour of play after the outcome is decided. As a cultural object it's undefeated. Hobby lists put it in F; nostalgia lists refuse to.
