BGG Top Games – 4301 – 4400
Welcome to another look at a century of Boardgame Geek game rankings! These posts have been really cool for me because of the conversations they've started with friends and colleagues, but they've usually had at least a few games that I've played and can talk about with some semblance of knowledge. That may not be the case for the next couple of weeks, though.

As such, king Haakon played a pivotal role in uniting the Norwegian nation in its resistance to the invasion and the subsequent five-year-long occupation during the Second World War

Did you know that the king was under immense pressure to abdicate during the invasion? The king also rejected German demands to legitimise the Quisling regime's puppet government.

The Norwegian defense has been very stout thus far and the king has made good progress away from the advancing Germans. But we have lost one of our possible actions in the Order Grid. It’s about to get really tough! Crown & Courage from Tompet Games coming to Kickstarter in June.

When the German invasion of Norway began, the Norwegian gold reserve was evacuated from Oslo first over land to Åndalsnes and then by ship to Tromsø. From Tromsø, allied forces shipped the gold to Britain, despite German ground and air attacks.

The ship led the flotilla of German warships into the Oslofjord on the night of 8 April, to seize Oslo. It sunk after coastal guns and torpedos fired upon it from Oscarsborg fortress. This delayed the invasion enough for the royal family to escape the capital.

Halls of Hegra. Lately I have been on this solo only board game kick. This one often gets compared to Robinson Crusoe but I think it plays quite a bit differently. It's a lot more forgiving in the beginning and you are actually trying to prepare for the end. #hallsofhegra #boardgame #tabletopgame

The very intriguing Halls of Hegra. A solitaire, tower style defence, worker placement game rich in decisions and theme. Real shades of the Valiant Defence series from @djackthompson.bsky.social which is a very flattering comparison IMO! #hallsofhegra #boardgames #history #imhavingmyonepodcast

Got absolutely demolished in my first Halls of Hegra match. The German onslaught was relentless! Clearly, my wall defending setup needs a serious overhaul. I'm thinking of focusing more on adding troops on the defensive position sooner. What are your go-to defensive strategies for this game?
