Top Board Games

From the Ministry of Useless Information comes my list of our top selling board games for the season (last 30 days). I placed the Chronicle article games in blue, which shows they haven't had a huge influence on the list. Most sold modestly before the article came out, with Dominion being the only clear hit. The top two strategy games from the article are already gone but will arrive on Friday (Agricola and Stone Age).

1. Settlers of Catan
   
2. Battlestar Galactica Boardgame
3. Dominion
4. Wasabi! (reviewed in Chronicle poorly)
   
5. Monty Python Fluxx
6. Axis & Allies Anniversary Ed
7. Witch's Brew
8. Qwirkle
9. Ticket to Ride
10. Power Grid
11. Carcassonne
12. Munchkin
13. Blokus
14. Killer Bunnies Blue SD
15. Hey! That's My Fish!
16. Citadels
17. Ticket to Ride: The Dice Expansion
18. Fluxx - New Edition 3.1
19. Ticket to Ride Europe
20. Apples to Apples
21. GiftTrap
22. Ticket To Ride Card Game
23. Settlers of Catan 5-6 Player
24. Carcassonne: Cult, Siege, & Cr
25. Munchkin Quest Boardgame
26. Hey That's My Fish Deluxe
27. Ghost Stories
    
28. Cosmic Encounter
29. Wits & Wagers
30. Origin of Expressions

Games that should be up higher on the list:

Power Grid: It's been out of stock for a week now, but arrives on Friday. It's my favorite "advanced" holiday board game, meaning if you're an experienced board gamer, I think you should try it.
Agricola: It's been out of stock and has been sitting at the distributors warehouse since Monday. Z-Man has a Friday street date for the re-release (frustrating). It's the top game on the SF Chronicle strategy games list.
Stone Age: Also out of stock lately, with a small quantity arriving Friday. It's the number two strategy game on the Chronicle list.

Games that are now out of stock and will soon run out for the holidays:

Wasabi!: This is my new favorite starter game, despite personally not caring for it.
Witch's Brew: We've got a few coming on Friday, but they'll run out within a day.
Hey That's My Fish: Is out of print and our existing stock is all there is.
Fluxx: Is out of print as they prepare a version 4.
Qwirkle: Is in limited quantities at the distributors but we may make it.
