International games week passed us by a few weeks back with out much todo, mainly because I hadn't heard about it. This is a week where the world is to get together and play games, any time of non video games. There is a website you can sign up on and then log all the games you play. It's a cool concept I wish I had known more about when it happened back in November. You can find out a ton more here: www.nationalgamesweek.net/I recent came across the top 35 games played in 2005 (the 2006 list hasn't been compiled yet) and I thought I would share. 1 Heroclix 2 D&D 3 Magic 4 Settlers 5 Mechwarrior 6 Carcassonne 7 Pirates of the Spanish Main 8 Puerto Rico 9 Ticket to Ride 10 Star Wars minis 11 Axis and Allies 12 Warhammer 40K 13 Memoir '44 14 Mage Knight 15 Risk 16 Pokemon TCG 17 Munchkin 18 Monopoly 19 Yu Gi Oh 20 Vs 21 Shadows over Camelot 22 Apples to Apples 23 D&D minis 24 Power Grid 25 Vampre: The Masquerade 26 RoboRally 27 Scabble 28 Heroscape 29 Warmachine 30 Fluxx 31 Battletech 32 Tigris and Euphrates 33 Killer Bunnies 34 Chess 35 Blokus

The fact that Killer Bunnies beat chess is HIGHLY amusing..

Killer Bunnies is funnier than chess, unless it's strip chess but then there's also strip Killer Bunnies...
Strip Risk on the other hand can cause fistfights.
