I wouldn’t call it awful ckick bait article. It’s just heavy games the writter happens to enjoy. It’s not like they are bad games or games with fancy IPs.

The campaign for North Africa would just be a waste of a slot, no one is actually interested in completing a play. It takes 20 years and a group of 8-10 players (yes, that’s a real player range). I would also argue that wargames are their own tabletop category. A factual top 10 most complex boardgames would be, without a doubt, 10 wargames.

Standard box sizes in general is something I’d really really like.

Sorry to link you to reddit but there is a very active subreddit /r/tabletopgamedesign, they have a ton of interesting content. Unfortunately no lemmy alternative.
