The collection in one sentence

It leans light and social rather than heavy and solitary — the average game runs about an hour at a complexity of 1.92 out of 5 — but there’s real depth on the shelf too: 34 titles sit in BoardGameGeek’s all-time top 100, and 117 are co-operative, so nobody has to lose to anybody.

How many of you are coming?

How many games play at each group size. Most games cover a range, so these overlap, so a four-player game counts under 2, 3 and 4.
