Medium board games for 5 players

The key is finding games designed to scale. At five players, the most important factor is turn length: if each player takes five minutes per turn, that's a 25-minute round. Medium games that keep turns sharp and decisions readable are the ones that survive the jump to five.

The filter uses BGG community poll data to find games that specifically rate well at five, not games that merely list it as supported.

Here are the highest-scoring medium-weight games for five players, ranked by BGG community rating.
