Most played board games of the past 30 years

Neat video. Looks like it’s ripping off the Data is Beautiful channel though. Anyway, Dominion has been number one for a while! And they apparently Intrigue out as a separate game. I guess this is based on total number of games played as recorded on BGG. Definitely skews that stats somewhat; there’s probably a lot more MTG games that have been played but not logged on BGG than Dominion games that were played but not logged. Same with things like Chess, etc.

That it's using accumulated plays (instead of rate of plays) makes the field seem more stagnant than it really is. But it also that makes the entry of Dominion and RftG that much more impressive.

I ended up watching in 2x though because 1x speed is way too slow.

I wonder this particularly in the case of Codenames. Presented differently, its entry might actually look more impressive than the Dominion/RftG entry. It doesn't crack the top 3 in this visualization but that seems to be because the top 3 have so many accumulated plays.

Yeah, something like sales per month would have been more interesting. It wouldn’t be able to compare MTG since that’s not a single thing that you either buy or not, but it would be better.
