I was introduced to modern board games through Settlers of Catan in 1996, and have since developed into an avid player, collector, and teacher of board games. I currently play with a variety of different game groups, one of which I founded for Columbia students, and others include the Astoria Gaming Society and the Neutral Ground Meetup. While I prefer playing board games in person, I also play online at BrettspielWelt, SpielByWeb, and MaBiWeb as well as Tigris & Euphrates right here on BGG. My username on each is also Thommy8, and I'm always up for a game, so just send me a GeekMail if you'd like to play sometime. My avatar is a picture of Opus from Bloom County.

My Hot 10 List is actually my Personal Top 11-20 List since I couldn't pick just 10 games. Actually, I couldn't even pick just 20 games, so check out my Top 100 for a list of all of my favorites.
