The BGG Secret Santa phenomenon has, once again, descended upon us!
As ever, I find it interesting to tally the Secret Santa Gifts reported in this geeklist to see what the top choices are this year. This list shows all the games explicitly mentioned in geeklist entries (not comments) 5 or more times.
(I shall update this list once every couple of days, probably into mid-January, to catch the straggler reports.)

I just hope my (international) target gets his package before Christmas!
Fall River

Well, I went ahead and bought both for myself as a present. I wouldn't buy one without the other
