I have been trying to get old games to the table to see if the still warrant shelf space since they haven’t been played in years. Recently entdecker made the cut to stay.

>> 86 on '96! The vote is over; thanks to the 46 people who participated. For the first time, there was a significant number of folks who voted for fewer than 3 games. Not surprisingly, many of us are finding fewer games worthy of our vote. Anyway, here’s the top 10, with the vote totals listed, along with the game’s original rank in parentheses, and n/a indicating that the game wasn’t originally nominated:

>> I don't know about you, but I'm pretty surprised to see the same three games on top. Not that they're bad games, but none of them are evergreens, so I thought we'd see at least a little movement at the top. There really wasn't that much change from the original election. Hannibal makes a nice showing and Bamboleo (which only got 1 vote originally) gets a lot more love this time. The big loser is Serenissima, which missed grabbing an MCA by only one vote in the original election, but did considerably worse this time around.
