The Riverrviews had a very interesting and intensive review on the best of all times in board games history. And the conclusion came up with some good and of course well known games as the top in the list. They have list a number of good factors to base the ranking of the games.

(1) their “nostalgia rating” (i.e., their “classic” status within American society and culture lasting across multiple eras, indicated by their self-replication and appearance in popular television, film, videogames, and other media as indicated in their respective Wikipedia entries),

(2) their “play rating” (i.e., their user-intuitive and age-appropriate ability to be played and enjoyed, indicated by qualitative ratings on Amazon.com and other review sites),

(3) their “cult rating” (i.e., their communities formed online in message boards and niche enthusiast sites and any awards as indicated by Wikipedia and BoardGameGeek.com), and

(4) their “education rating” (i.e., their ability to develop age-appropriate skills, from fine motor skills to memory and strategic thinking, and any relevant awards or recognition for these characteristics from information at Wikipedia and BoardGameGeek.com). Riverrviews
