I'd just like to resurrect this thread to say that the representative image for Go has been changed on BGG, after the matter was brought up to the admins.
This is now the new image: Image

For a long time, Go used to be the top rated game on boardgamegeek.

I think this has been a long long time ago, no? How long was it, and where did you see those numbers?

Because I've always saw Go in the general rating outside of the top 10.
The best rated games there are usually euro-style games, with more mechanics than theme, and some american-style games, with more theme than mechanics.

I don't think I've seen abstracts higher than 11 on the ratings list. From the comments I've seen in the ratings, most people don't get as invested into Go either due to the lack of theme, or when they realize the time investment necessary to improve to higher levels.
