Just because we believe in Starfleet's ideals and values doesn't mean we're serious and professional. There's a reason we ended up at Starbase 80.

Games are ranked this low either because they're terrible, or because they have very few ratings. Looking at my list of games, I have the following hidden gems:

* The MacGyver Escape Room game, ranked 22,536: yeah, it's a TV tie-in & they're usually terrible... but this was an enjoyable set of puzzles, though it used flimsy materials that you modify/destroy when you play, so it's one-time use. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25

* Teeter Tower, ranked 12,200: this is a fun dexterity game about stacking dice and tiles in an increasingly rickety structure. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35

* Star Trek: Chrono-Trek is a Trek-themed version of Chrononauts, where you flip cards to repair the timeline. The original game uses 20th-century history; this retheming uses a lot of Star Trek lore. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/26

BoardGameGeekMacGyver: The Escape Room GameMacGyver: The Escape Room Game comes with five hour-long escape room scenarios in the box, with each scenario in its own sealed square envelope. There is also a card that gives some flavor text and instructions on how to play the game, and leads players to the game’s companion website, The website functions as the game’s timer, and is where you enter solutions to the puzzles. It also has a button to get hints. The game will not function without the website, so the game is not playable without an Internet connection. The goal of MacGyver: The Escape Room Game is to solve a series of puzzles over a set period of time. The app has three settings: Easy - not timed Medium - 75 minutes Hard - 45 minutes The Underground Lab scenario has six puzzles, each of which must be completed, and correctly entered into the website, to progress to the next. Incorrect answers give a time penalty. The puzzles, unlike some other escape room games, are completely linear, with only one to complete at a time. There are four other scenarios in the box -- Airplane, Factory, Missile Silo, and Grand Finale -- and they have to be played in order.
