Early on at the League, Brad and I had a few pics taken of game piles that all connected in some mysterious way. Pictures are thanks to our buddy John with an awesome collection (thanks again John!).

At first we thought maybe we’d do a League group review or awards thing. Turns out, finding everyone who knows the same games, or has the same taste in games can be tough to organize. AND some of these connections were easy, and some seemingly impossible! Connections can be a mechanic, some a theme, some could be by a game piece, color, or even what year they were printed!

Anyway, for a fun Friday post, I thought I’d post the original series of pictures. It might even be a challenge for me to remember! Without looking at any answers in the comments below, see how many pile ‘o game themes YOU can correctly identify and connect?

Note: Pile H’s connection is no longer true. So you’re guessing how they connected in 2014!

Whew.
