So, I was flipping through the GeekMod pages and a review came my way. I liked the little review, but as I always do, I went to the game's page to see what was there already. This game (I forget now what it was) had 39 reviews posted to date. Did we really need another? I decided to skip it, but it got me to thinking. How many reviews are enough? In a database that relies on user contributions for content, I suppose having a nnumber of reviews for games is very important. But how many?

Well, I don't have that answer, specifically, but let's assume it's more than none.

Please make this geeklist obsolete. Instead of contributing that 40th review for a popular game, why not make one review for any of these.

Please note: this geeklist is not complete. I started at the bottom of the list of ranked games and worked my way up. I didn't get very far. If you know of a ranked game that needs at least 1 review, list it.

New Note: as these games get their reviews, I'll delete them from this geeklist. My apologies to people who've left comments on any items that disappear.

It's quite good, but a bit fiddly. Look up any review of any of the other Markham Quad games and you have a review of the mechanics of this one.

It's excellent and plays fast. My variant rules on Grognards speed up play even further.

And, just a note to anyone who'll look at this list and get all indignant about the invisibility of these games,

Did you know, even games as obscure as Bingo, Old Maid, Go Fish, LCR, Cootie, Pachisi, Snakes & Ladders, Trouble, and Operation have at least one review? Tic-tac-toe has 4 reviews!

Since the reviews are rated by users, more reviews are better, because the best content rises to the top. The more submissions there are, there more likely it is that additional quality content is discovered.

Great idea for a geeklist! I often use reviews to find out how to play a game, since reviews give game play without needing to be written like legislative documents. In particular I really want to read a review of Skat, a game I've wanted to try for some time but find the rules far too overwhelming to work from.

Unfortunately, I myself have never played any of these games. :-(

I'm not sure I believe that. I've sometimes noticed that the earlier reviews get more thumbs simply because they were first and have been around longer and seen by more users. Then more reviews arrive, and users come and want to read a review, so they naturally look to the reviews that have the most thumbs since "of course" those are the best... but sometimes the later unthumbed ones seemed much better, I found, when I obsessively read more reviews instead of just a few. For a game with 30 reviews, it's a rare user who's going to read all 30 and thumb the ones they liked the most.

The more reviews, the better.

Here's an idea for those that hate 50 reviews for the same game:

Don't read 50 reviews for the same game. Read, like, 10.
