Board Games

On Friday the Ontario Today show on CBC had an owner of a toy store discussing some games that would be good for the family during March Break. One caller mentioned BoardGameGeek.com as a resource for different games. I know I have a few readers that are gamers, so I have devised this meme from the BGG top 100 games. I won't tag people but drop me a comment if you do this meme on your blog or facebook page. The list is from here, which you can see photos and descriptions if you are unsure about a given game (many names are similar - I thought I had played civilization but it must have been different)
Bold the games that you have played. Italicize if you own the game
