All right, here we go.
I've gotten a seven.
That's the luck of it.
I don't know if this surprises you, but Snakes and Ladders is actually one of the worst board games ever made.
That's what I've found.
What about something like Monopoly?
Is that a good game?
Monopoly is actually a bête noire of board gamers.
It's the game they love to hate.
Well, Monopoly has a few characteristics that any board game designer worth his salt tries really, really hard to avoid.
One is Monopoly often has a runaway winner, but the game takes another four hours.
Another thing about Monopoly is players can be eliminated, so you can go bankrupt.
In sort of good games, it's good to keep players sort of engaged for the whole game.
All right, here we go.
I've gotten a 5.
This is requiring a lot of trust between us, I should mention.
My data comes from a website called BoardGameGeek.com, and this is a very, very popular website among some of the serious board gamers.
Exactly.
So users on the site will log on and they'll rate games, and importantly, they'll provide a numerical rating.
So a rating of 10 is the highest.
