Scythe has now won GOTY from BGG, as well as the Origins and Dice Tower conventions. Is it really the best game of 2016?

This is a game where there is no strategic depth. Your starting strategy is dictated by the board you get. And then you try to dance along the standard path or otherwise you lose.

BGG ranking has been obsoleted after 2012 and that Pandemic Legacy twitter thing. So is Dice Tower who are calling people to get a life about the vote 10/10 twitter campaign or Origins.

I used to at least try those game who make it into BGG top 10 list once before commenting. Now it is a standard "amazon buy good review" thing which those game newly made it to top 10 are mostly complete rubbish.

People well underestimate how advertorials and paid reviews are polluting this hobby.

If you want sincere reviews, read those 1/10 rates on BGG.
