Board and Card Game Countdown: From 100 to 0

102 game titles, from 100 down to 0:

100: Havoc: the Hundred Years War
A contemporary card game with poker mechanics, and rather good. Although the number 100 here refers to the length or name of the war, rather than the year that it took place, a great many of the following entries refer to specific years, which is a sad commentary on human affairs.

99: Ninety-nine
A trick-taking card game. Many card games are named after a single number, and usually because it's the number of points you need to win.

98: Aussie-ASL '98 Pack
Many game revisions or expansions are named also after their release date.

97: Ninety-seven
This is one of those games from the 1970s I imagine would have graced the pages of Playboy magazine (I only read those for the game articles, by the way). Bright-orange chips, laminated boards, luck, minimal strategy, and some dice.

96: 96 Kabal
Some sort of uninspiring card game.

95: Monopoly - Harley Davidson 95th Anniversary
You can find XXth editions for just about any reason in a Monopoly variant.

94: Beyond Planet V94
This looks like one of many cheap '80s sci-fi games.

93: 93 Game Studios (publisher)
One of the numbers for which I couldn't find a matching game. I tried to include only games with XX in the title, and not 19XX or 18XX or similar. 93 Studios is an RPG publisher.

92: Hockey 92
Not sure why this is called 92, but I'm assuming after some sort of championship played that year.

91: Ultraquiz 91
A Japanese trivia game focused on American culture

90: The 90's Game
There are many games based on decades, most of them either trivia games or versions of standard games.

89: Mauerfall 89
Other current events, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, also contribute names to game titles.

88: 88
One of many war games in the list, though 88 is the name of the company or something, not the year.

87: Cold War Battles: Budapest '56 & Angola '87
Another war game.

86: WM Superspiel Mexico 86
Another sports game commemorating a sporting event. World Cup 86 in Mexico.

85: Murder High School Reunion: Class of 85
This is a murder mystery game, consisting of instructions, but no other components. It's meant to be acted out. Class of 85 is a theme for role-playing during the event.

84: Nineteen Eighty-Four
I couldn't find another 84 game, and I could hardly pass over this classic number, so I cheated a bit.

83: 83
A variant of the card game Pedro.

82: Beirut '82
One of too many war games based on the Israeli-Arab conflict.

81: 81
Color Sudoku.

80: Around the World in 80 Days
Rather than "XXX the '80s edition" I chose a game based on a famous book.

79: Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers
Couldn't find any 79 games, so here is a game with 79 tiles, a defining element of its components.

78: Gundam Axis UC0078
Another sci-fi game, based on some universe.

77: 77
Some kind of German card game.

76: Spirit of '76, The
An American revolutionary war game.

75: Indy 500 75th Running Race Game
A card game, I have no idea where the name comes from, but didn't want to add another Monopoly game if I could avoid it.

74: Pit
Another number with no entries, so here's a game with 74 cards.

73: Suez 73
Another game on the Israel-Arab conflict.

72: Par "72" Golf
The number 72 probably has something to do with Golf.

71: 71 Games Multi-Pack
Not a game but a bulk pack allegedly containing 71 games.

70: 70's Game, The
Trippy, man.

69: Deadly 69's

A pull-out game on the Six Day war.

One of several games about the famous highway of dreams in the U.S.

65: Travspelet med V65
A Swedish auction betting horse racing game.

64: 64 Milestones. The Game of Life
Not sued by Hasbro for the name, this looks like a game designed by someone who thought they had a cool idea.

63: Sixty-three
Just like 83, a variant of Pedro.

62: Ottocento
Can't find a game for this number, so here's a game with 62 cards.
