The two games I know, Snow Tails and Kamisado, are both excellent and worthy winners in their category. The winner in the card game category, Fzzzt!, I saw but didn’t get to play but looks quite interesting. I notice Steve played it a couple of times so he might comment on what he thought.
Congrats to all the winners, especially Richard Breese, Gordon and Fraser Lamont.
