The 10 Most Complex Board Games
The 10 Most Complex Board Games
Which one of these have you tried? At what point should it just be a computer game?
Personally, most complex game I tried is Ark Nova which did not even make it on this list.
Even some simpler games can have a lot of dependencies that make playing tedious like Hogwarts Battle

This is a pretty good list that balances how fun the game is with complexity and popularity. I've played all the games except Star Wars and War of the Ring, and I liked them all (except maybe Gaia Project, because I like Terra Mystica more).
Of course there are a lot of war games that are more complicated, but I can't think of any war game that's more complicated, more popular, and more fun than the games on the list.
I don't know the author of the article, so, for all I know, they might have just searched for the top complicated games on BGG, but the result is a pretty good list.
I agree with that, well said. I think the discussion about some complex wargames became a bit elitist to some degree. The list itself is a decent collection of complex yet fun games to play. Nobody ever is going to play some over the top complex wargame that takes 10 years to complete
