Wow, I am late to this party.

The fact that Iron Man lost to Lebowski in round 1 makes me question this whole process, the current crop has some "suspect" suspects still. I don't expect this to have a clear winner everybody would agree on, and I am sure all of the current list is fun (even the ones I have not yet played due to the pandemic) but is LoTR really a top 10 tournament game on any planet anybody lives on? A top 10 collection game? Maybe for some.

Are tournament directors really jazzed up to have LoTR in their lineup?

Quoted from m00nmuppet:
I always thought TSPP was so-so, because I was always playing beat-up ones in the wild at beach arcades, bits were sometimes broken, played spongy and slow. When I finally played a speedy well-tuned one and could get pretty deep into the code, it's a great game, really well designed for happy chaos moments.

Yes, but is it a GOOD tournament game? I think watching 4 highly skilled players on that game would be like watching paint dry... and if the game is set up wrong paint would be dry and I would be onto the second coat before their match is done. Is that a good tournament game? I would take a random EM over that if I HAD to as a tournament director (if the only two options were "loose" TSPP or an average EM).

Quoted from m00nmuppet:
Ditto. Maybe we missed something in an earlier description?

Oh, I misunderstood the title (doh!). I wondered I had missed something in the directions. I thought this was the Top Tournament Games of all Time.

If this is just "re-do the top 100, for the Xth time", I guess go at it. All in good fun. I just thought this was a different approach (e.g. top games for a smaller collection, top collector games, best bang for the buck games, best location games etc.).

FWIW a game like Monster Bash would rate high on a "best location game" list for me. I love playing it a few times a year. Home use? Oh no...
