ICv2 have posted their latest list of top selling games, across the categories of role-playing, miniatures, card/deck building, collectable cards, and board games. There are a few surprises in this update.

The chief revelation is the strong sales performance of Fantasy Flight’s new Star Wars miniatures game. It enters the top 5 miniature games as second only to perennial top dog Warhammer 40,000. This pushes War Machine to third, Warhammer Fantasy to fourth and Hordes to fifth on the list.

In board games Settlers of Catan is again the top board game. Ticket to Ride and Small World here also strong sellers as is the new edition of the Game of Thrones board game.

Magic: the Gathering is again the top collectable card game as this games phenomenal recent growth continues.

Munchkin is the top card/deck building game, followed by Dominion and the new Android: Netrunner. New game Gloom and club favourite 7 Wonders are also in the top ten list.

The top RPG list has also seen some changes. Pathfinder remains the top selling game, but the old dog Dungeons & Dragons falls to third, with Fantasy Flight’s new Star Wars RPG taking second spot. Whatever Fantasy Flight are doing with Star Wars, they are clearly making games people are happy to play.
