When will the muchly anticipated expansion for Dave: The Game, 'Burning Regions', be coming out? Oh, and cock-blocking shall now be referred to as Ninja-looting, as it pertains to D:TG.

They picked people within a certain group (eurogame enthusiasts) who play Eurogames more than anything else and would be hard pressed to put such classic games higher on their list. It's definitely not an "accurate" list (though criteria for such a list would be hard even for me to define) but is still great for finding good games. And yeah, no GW games because A. they haven't made board games in a while, and 2. they don't make good games. :) The methodology of the survey is more to blame for Go and Poker being so far down.

Their choice actually puts me in a real mental pickle. While I did really enjoy playing Puerto Rico (and beating the jerk demo guy at Balticon) and would like to play it again to see if I can agree with that list, that would mean coming back from undefeated retirement. Maintaining my retirement has its benefits lying in the whole "Spite The Game" aspect. On a different note, I enjoyed how Ticket to Ride was in the top 10. However, I strongly feel that both poker and Go should have been higher on the list than 49 and 51 respectively. Interesting list, but I’m actually surprised by their number 1 game.
