Games Crossword.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my usual Wednesday night board games club went on hiatus. During this time, members kept in touch using our forum on the great website that is BoardGameGeek. Among other things, some of our club members posted quizzes. Inspired by this, I decided to get in on the act and came up with this crossword.

All the answers relate to games in BoardGameGeek's top 500 except for one which is way doewn the list but fitted so nicely into the grid.

You will probably need to copy the image below and print it out. Please don't write on your screen with a permanent marker.
