Monster-hunting adventure game The Witcher: The Old World<\/a> had the most new owners on BoardGameGeek in June, knocking Earth<\/a> from the top spot it has held for the previous two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 2,100 BGG users registered owning Lukasz Wozniak-designed The Witcher last month according to data collated by user Igor Larchenko<\/a>, coinciding with Kickstarter copies landing in backers’ hands over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motor racing game Heat: Pedal to the Metal<\/a> held onto second place with 1,620 new owners, with Earth falling to third place on 1,598.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat had not even been in the top 100 for new owners in April\u2019s stats<\/a>, but accelerated up the rankings after two wins and two other nominations at the BoardGameGeek Golden Geek Awards<\/a> towards the beginning of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tile-drafting game Azul, a mainstay of the new owners Top 10, rose to fourth place this month, about 150 new copies ahead of fellow perennial Wingspan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aerial combat wargame Undaunted: Battle of Britain<\/a> was the most wishlisted game on BoardGameGeek last month, being added by more than 1,100 users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archeos Society, the reimplementation of Paolo Mori’s 2017 release Ethnos, was in second place with 1,101 new wishlisters, while solo game Mr. President: The American Presidency, 2001-2020<\/a>, which unexpectedly soared to the top of the BGG Hotness over the past week, was third at 895.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Books of Time, Stranger Things: Upside Down and Disney Lorcana were also added several hundred BGG users last month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
