Well three of my nominees didn’t get through: Dragonheart and Mr Jack Pocket are both light two player games so I’m not surprised these didn’t receive the same support as their bigger box cousins. Seeland was probably my last pick so again not too upset about that. My votes for the three winners are going to 7 Wonders, London and Navegador. However, I’m really surprised at how many of the 25 finalists I haven’t played – 11 to be precise, although I own two but haven’t yet played them (Kaigan and Vinhos).
