Damn, beyond Dominion I haven't played any other

 

[MerricB]

Funnily enough, the only game there I haven't played is "Say Anything". Everything else I've played... heck, I own everything else there!

Cheers!

We played a couple rounds of the 'spill the jar' winner yesterday. Of those listed, I've played a version of many, but I've never heard of
Say Anything or Conflict of Heroes. I'm not sure how close the latest version of BattleTech is to the version from 10 years ago, but I can't imagine too much variation.

Dominion being selected for "Spiel des Jahres 2009" isn't exactly unexpected now, or is it?

Well, the jury isn't really known to be predictable now, or is it?

Well, I expected Agricola (and not Pandemic) to take out the GenCon award...

Cheers!

Say Anything is a fun party game. It is nice and interactuive involving everyone. I really have had fun playing it. Pandemic is just great. Agricola is a lot of fun, but I voted for Pandemic mostly because it is a lot easier to understand and learn from reading the rules.

 

[Badwe]

the guys at "The dice tower" had a rant about how the origins awards are done (or maybe it was gencon). Either way, i think agricola may be doomed, like many classic movies, to never win a major award.

That would be a terrible crime for the top rated game on BGG.
It is my current fav even over PR, so it is doing something right.
