Top 5 Board Games of 2020 (Saturday Review)

As is customary at the end of a calendar year, it's time for my
top 5 board games of this, rather odd, year and for me to
announce the winner of the Top Table Award 2020. Let me say that
this year, I happily allowed games into the top 5 list that were
published before 2020, as long as these games were new to me this
year. There is a clear winner for me, not just based on the
number of plays, the amount of enjoyment the game brought and the
nostalgia factor that the game has for me, but because this game
took a well-established genre and took it to the next step,
making it more accessible to a wider range of people. However,
let me not spoil it for you, but start at number 5 and work my
way to the top slot.
