I also only ranked games that I physically own in the state that I own them in, meaning that games with expansions also have their expansions included in the rating if I never play without it. In this scenario, I would choose between the perfect setting and playgroup for each game, with the idea that a fictional clone of me would participate in the other game (otherwise there would be no way I would choose a solo game over a game with multiple people, for example, because I prefer playing games with other people over playing games solo).
I used the ranking engine in, always choosing the game that I am more excited to play next. Considering that, there's probably going to be some real withdrawal symptoms for the first few months. This year the Geeklist is a little earlier than it was last year, but that's solely because I'm about to be a father for the first time and don't expect to have a ton of time for both the playing of- and writing about boardgames.
