1985 Games 100

This is the Games 100 for 1985, as published in the November 1985 issue of Games Magazine.

For this year of the Games 100, the games were merely listed by category with no named game of the year or category selections. As with other years of the games 100, the list included items that were not necessarily produced in that year (e.g. Sleuth had been in print for 18 years by the time of the 1985 games 100, and had already passed from 3M to Avalon Hill). Additionally, games were not limited to a single appearance on the Games 100; for example, this is the sixth appearances for Grass.

The game designer names are typically not included with these lists. This information was researched from the BoardGameGeek website while designer names in parentheses were determined exclusively from information from other websites.
