So which game did you play the most in 2017, other than light fillers, and WHY did it hit the table so much?
(Extra points if you are playing a game that you hate but everyone else can't get enough of.)

Because it's the most fun 2-player fighting card game I've played.

Most plays: Camp Grizzly. Easy to setup and teach, easy to play, game takes about an hour. Great theme, good components, co-op and scales nicely up to six players. The game is very accessible but has enough depth to avoid playing like a light filler.
Most time spent playing: Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower. Easy to setup and teach, easy to play, great components, possibly one of the best dungeon crawl board game. After making tokens for my stripped (no minis) copy, I got in a few games early in 2017. Then Delobius of F:AT finally got all of his figures painted, plus some extras that matched up with the Chaos Adversaries expansion, so we played some more last month. Each quest takes 2 to 4 hours to play, so Silver Tower got a lot of table time.
Saltlands and Escape from 100 Million B.C. also got a fair amount of play, but fell short in terms of both number of games and quantity of time spent playing those games. All of my friends are interested in Saltlands, but the setup and teaching time sometimes keep it off the table. None of my friends hate Escape from One Million B.C., but then none of them like it enough to want to play it again.

Mine is Harry Potter Hogwarts battle, my wife loves it and I think it's fine.
Second was Eldritch Horror which hit a high this year for me but has cooled just a little in the back half of the year.

Pandemic: Legacy. Same thing - she likes it a lot, I like it too, so it gets on the table. She can't get into S2 though. Maybe I'll beg her some more, although TBH I'm not all that excited about it either.

Gloomhaven was my second most played game with 20 sessions, mostly solo. Enjoyed the heck out of it but I'm at a point where I think I will never play it again, mostly due to needing to solo other stuff and not having the time/space.
Secret Hitler was my third most played game. It's probably my favorite social deduction game at this point, narrowly surpassing One Night Ultimate Werewolf.
I played a ton of stuff this year. I played 13 games 10 or more times (including Cthulhu Wars, Tiefe Taschen, and a few other favorites).

There were two that stood out though; Potion Explosion and Junk Art both saw a lot of play. Not hard to see why: short, family-friendly games that also have a decent slice of nerd appeal.

X-wing remains my all time favorite game and I make an effort to play it. Also there is a pretty active community in the Twin Cities area, so finding tournaments / opponents is fairly easy. I don't have to teach it.
Twixt The old 3m game, my kids really like it and its quick.
Trains My wife and I played a lot of this and I taught my Sister-in-law and her boyfriend to play (non-gaming fisher / hunter type). They liked it so much they bought their own copy. So lots of plays at holiday gathering.

Potion Explosion would be the #3 game that isn't Love Letter on my list. I was tempted to buy better marbles for it, because the cheapo ones in the game are pretty sad.
