To be eligible for the BGG Hall of Fame, a game must be at least ten years old. The voting process is held once a year and is open to the entire BGG community. Currently, a game must be considered Hall of Fame-worthy by two-thirds of voters to be inducted. A minimum of two games is inducted each year.
Games Magazine Hall of Fame
The Games Magazine Hall of Fame was created in 1984. Games must have been in production for at least 10 years.

*Source: The actual GAMES Magazine issues over the years. GAMES initially had a rule that the game had to be 'continuously in print', but over the years, several notable games went out of print. So Twixt was reinstated. There has never been an explanation as to why Sleuth was never reinstated.

**Since Sleuth was once added but then dropped, one could argue that it technically does not belong to this list.
