Guest Board Game Ranking

I had five extra people in my house for just around three weeks and we played games on every night except four. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to list how I feel they ranked the games they played (they didn't get through my whole collection) just based on engagement and enjoyment (I didn't ask them to fill out a survey) as to compare with how I've ranked things previously. 

From worst to best:

Pandemic - too slow at 7 players and virus cube thing not just cutting it. Loss.

Kiri-ai: The Duel - seats only 2. too obtuse and hard to compete with other games that seat more.

Police Precinct - slow at 6 player and too easy. Win.

Operation Flash Point - 3 player. Was OK but too simple. Win.

Squid Game - 3 player. Better recieved than I thought, but too luck based.

Forbidden Desert - 4 player. Another mostly luck based game. Loss. My components here are getting frayed from years of play. :P

Ra - 5 player. Just "ok". Hasn't been rating high for any of my groups compared to the online accolades.

Horrified - 5 player. Fun and funny but still too slow for some.

Atlantis Rising - 8 player. Seats many is a plus but goes a bit long. 

Magic Maze - 8 player giggle fest, but got old after 2 games.

The Crew: Mission Deep Sea - 4 player mind wreck. Good but headaches occur over time.

Jaws - 4 player might have rated higher if the shark didn't win, but I'm a pretty good shark. :P

The Grizzled - 4 player multi victory. It was easy mode though as I forgot that multi supports cancel out

Lord of the Rings Duel - rated high with the visiting chess player even though he lost to his mom

Mikado "Pickup Sticks" / Jack stone / Tortoise Tumble - physical games enjoyed by many

Mancala - since its much like Sungka it was enjoyed by the visiting Sungka champ who won a lot

El Grande - 4 players. By the time they were working out the strategy it was too late to catch the run away victor (me) 

Black Orchestra - 4 players. Chess player killed Hitler hitting 4 out of 4 dice. OMG.

Risk: Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim - 4 player. Wifey won on victory points followed by chess man. My heroes were super short lived. :P

Darts - 3 players, round the world. My wife is too good at this. :P

The Mind - 8 players. Hilarious and always a good party game.

Klask - fast paced "air hockey" with magnets is always a winner. Seating only 2 is its downside.

Chess - well. When there's a chess player in the house, of course this ranks high. Been awhile since the board got this much use. I lost one blitz as white and won one long game as black using the Caro-Kann.

Escape from Colditz - 6 players. POWs escaped the German guards (played by me) and good fun was had by all. Being too long is its down side.

Lords of Waterdeep - 4 player. Awesome, and my wife still rules this game. 

Crokinole - Fun, fast and seats four. There's a reason its my most played game. 

Sequence - 6 players. The game they liked the best is something I didn't really rate as being that great.

Just goes to show that different games appeal to different people!
