  2. Space Hulk Death Angel - 2010: This game is notable for its POD support from FF, they have gone on to release, a full POD type adventure game, and this helped pave the way for Keyforge.
  3. Wingspan - 2019: As we are still in the year it's a little more empirical to understand the influence this years game has, so far this one has been on the lips and in the lenses of nearly everyone, and with a rating in the top 35 overall on BGG, nearly all of its publishing class are in the 3 to 4 to five digit range, that is a considerable influence to move the needle so completely.
