== BGB BOB ==
Originally slated to be normal [[#Top_5_games_...|Top 5 list episodes]] but things got weird. Each tank submits their own list of the best games and, using the [https://rankingengine.pubmeeple.com/ Pub Meeple ranking engine], these appear in a series of 1 v 1 battles. In each battle the tanks reach a majority decision on which game they prefer, ultimately producing a ranked list of the best games according to Board Game Barrage.<br>

== Draft ==
[[The Tanks]] compete to [[Dictionary#drafting|draft]] games to create the best collection of five. Whether to pursue critical integrity or shamelessly pander to popular opinion is a difficult choice because the best collection is ultimately decided by a listener vote.

* [[Episode 182|BGG 101-200]]
* [[Episode 187|BGG 201-300]]
