The Star Wars Deckbuilding Game Clone Wars Edition actually fixes problems with the base game and adds two new factions that play differently and aren’t just recolors of Rebels and Empire. It’s a great addition and adds rules for four player and mixing and matching sets. It’s an overall improvement, and I’m not even a big fan of The Clone Wars.
I LOVE Freedom Five, but even I would put it on a list like this. Yes, technically Sentinels of the Multiverse is an IP, but it's from another board game. So I don't think it really counts. - Tom
What a weak year for IP games. 5 thru 10 are filled with games that have been, or will be, really cheap to pick up for different reasons. Top 4 are solid though and I will look into a few I hadn't heard of. Slay the Spire is GREAT! Escape from New York is sadly the biggest miss on this for me. The fact that it wasn't streamlined, and the base retail game comes with poorly made standees, just wrecked it's ability to sell. If they were going to throw a niche theme on something they should have really done more with the mechanics to draw people not familiar with the theme in, instead of the card driven Packman that it is. Don't get me started on Chucky and the stock market game they slapped that theme on. Nice to see you around Jayson, hope you're still doing your normal channel.

There's no dice at all in Escape from NY, though? It's all card-driven.
Missing Freedom Five!
