@Young:
Does anyone know where A&A Global 1940 Ranks on most top 100 board game lists?
Global 1940 specifically? Probably none and it probably won’t ever. There aren’t any “official” lists for that sort of thing - most are user generated based on reviews, etc, on sites like BGG. And because A&A 1940 Global is a far more niche market than even A&A 1942, I doubt it could ever crack a top 100 that appeals to a FAR wider audience.
A&A classic, which can probably be interchanged with Revised or 1942 updates, might make a few. But really, we’re talking a LOT of competition with games that are more accessible, more nuanced, or quite frankly, more fun even when you’re losing and don’t suffer from avalanches of defeat - “German Games” like Ticket to Ride, Puerto Rico, Settlers of Catan, Powergrid, etc will always rank higher. Even Roborally usually gets notice before A&A. And that doesn’t even take into account the family boardgames (clue, sorry, parcheesi), Card and CCGs (MtG, Apples to Apples, Munchkin - most lists usually make exceptions and include card or CCGs now). And games like Small World or Kill Dr Lucky, which are great for fast, fun diversions usually get a place first. Plus I’d imagine Risk makes it on a list before A&A.
This is not meant to dismiss A&A - I loves it, but it definately appeals to a very select type of gamer.
