Earlier today on Twitter Osprey Games asked an impossible task?

Obviously my first reaction was to call it out as crazy talk.

But Osprey Games or their intern running their social media said to “Consider it a new year spring clean”.

Where do you start? Especially when (according to the bgstats app) I have 282 owned games! Yeah you read that correctly. I still find it hard to believe. I look at the games and think “never that many”. But apparently there is.

Do we get the game plus the expansions? That could affect the choices.

Well Scythe would have to be one of them. After all back in 2017 (iirc) that was my number 1 game of all time. And I don’t think that’s changed.

I think Wingspan would make the final five. And that ticks the engine builder box.

Magic the Gathering or more specifically my Commander decks would be on the list. Using the precons makes it like a board game!

Dune Imperium would kill two birds with one stone of deckbuilder and worker placement. As we know it edges it over Lost Ruins of Arnak for me.

The final slot has to be D&D. But this could easily be any one of the RPGs that I own. Although with my “library” of D&D books it does have the edge over the others.

But there are so many other games that I own and love playing, such as Twilight Imperium 4 or Tapestry. Or how about Lost Cities, Santorini or Onitama? How could I leave them out?

That’s why this is so impossible to do. I have so many great games that I love playing.
