About Jamie Quinn
I'm Jamie Quinn, and I'm probably a little too obsessed with board games.
It started with a copy of Catan at a friend's house. One game turned into a weekly tradition. Then I started researching which games to buy next — reading hundreds of reviews, watching playthroughs, comparing complexity ratings. Before I knew it, my shelf was overflowing and I had opinions about everything from worker placement mechanics to dice tower brands.
What started as a hobby turned into a full-blown obsession with finding the right game for every occasion. I've now researched and compared hundreds of board games — strategy heavyweights, family favorites, party games, co-ops, deck builders, and everything in between.
What is TopVett?
TopVett is where all that research lives. Every recommendation is backed by real player feedback, spec comparisons (player count, playtime, complexity), and my honest opinion about what's actually worth your money and table time.
I analyze thousands of reviews and ratings, compare games side by side, and tell you what's actually worth buying. No sponsored posts, no paid placements — just research-backed picks from someone who genuinely loves this hobby.
AI-Powered Research
TopVett is AI-powered: I use artificial intelligence to process more player data and game comparisons than any single person could. But every recommendation reflects a clear methodology, and I'm transparent about how I arrive at my picks.
The AI helps me analyze review patterns, identify common complaints across games, and spot trends in what real players care about. The result: more thorough research, more consistent analysis, and picks you can actually trust.
How I Make Money
TopVett is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you buy something through my links, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is what keeps the site running.
Importantly: affiliate commissions never influence my recommendations. I recommend the same games whether the commission is 1% or 10%. My reputation depends on giving you honest advice — that's worth more than any single commission.
