I had hoped at after the end of the first year of Meeple Like Us that we’d cover 10% of the BGG Top 500 every subsequent year. That means that ones on the end could genuinely go over a year before they get on the site and by that time I often don’t even remember the games all that much. Anyway, here are our year on year visitor stats: We passed 250,000 hits for the year in our third year of operation, up about 53.6k on last year.
