Originally slated to be normal top 5 episodes but things got weird. Each tank submits their own list of the best games and, using the 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.

Fire away!

• filler games
• party games
• social deduction games
• board game bugbears (no, these are not games but they get the BGB BOB treatment anyway; this is what happens when Kellen is out of town)
• heart warming games
• board game gifts

The Tanks compete to 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.

• BGG Top 100

• games for a desert island
• post apocalyptic $100 rebuild - Kellen
• post apocalyptic $100 rebuild - Neilan, Mark and Christina
