Well the Spielfrieks group has managed to whittle 200 games released during 2012 down to 24. From this set of games, voting will take place over the next week to select the three recipients of this year’s award. The finalists are:
1812: The Invasion of Canada
Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small
Andean Abyss
Android: Netrunner
Clash of Cultures
CO2
Copycat
Edo
Escape: The Curse of the Temple

I’m pretty sure which games I’m voting for – two are very easy, the third just needs a bit more thought. I’ll let you know what I’ve chosen once the results are announced.
