Surprised by Caper: Europe being top played but it'd probably because of all the BGA games of it I've played this year.
#ArkNova being at top doesn't surprise me though as it's been a hit all year long.
I am surprised at #Encyclopedia being sp high up on time spent since I just bought it a month ago but I've played it nonstop over that time and it is a longer game.

Not a sexy win but I will take it!
So I know in this post I was joking about going back to using encyclopedias and dictionaries instead of search engines...but now I'm starting to consider it seriously. 😅
