Top 25 Advanced Board Games (Kennerspiele) on Amazon in September 2012

Here is a list of the top 25 selling board games on Amazon. This list is of advanced board games, referred to as Kennerspiele. Last year the list contained only board games without their expansions but this list contains expansions. You can see the list from September 2011 here

The list refers to advanced board games as a way to differentiate from games such as Sorry, Monopoly, and other children focused-games.

The ranking is created by looking at the absolute sales ranking for each game that Amazon reports in the Toys and Games category.  I have placed the Amazon ranking number next to each game.

Amazon has over 600,000 toys and games. The ranking I report on is how well the particular game is selling on Amazon compared to ALL 600,000+ toys and games. This means Cards Against Humanity is outselling every single toy or game in Amazon's entire inventory.
