Next on the venue is 2003.  We nominated 25 games for the original election that year; in alphabetical order, they are:
 

 A Game of Thrones
 Alhambra
 Amun-Re
 Attika
 Balloon Cup
 Carcassonne:  The Castle
 Coloretto
 Die Fugger
 Die Sieben Siegel
 Domaine
 Edel, Stein & Reich
 Europa Tour
 Fearsome Floors
 Industria
 Logistico
 Magna Grecia
 Mare Nostrum
 New England
 Pirate's Cove
 Princes of the Renaissance
 Railroad Dice
 Santiago
 The Bridges of Shangrila
 Yinsh
 Zendo
 

 Note that Europa Tour includes 10 Days in Africa and 10 Days in the USA, which are very similar games.
 

 There were five games from 2003 that didn’t get nominated that are currently in the top 1000 on the Geek.  Here they are; if anyone seconds them, they’ll get added to the list:
 

 Blokus 3D
 Europe Engulfed
 Gulo Gulo
 Hey, That's My Fish!
 Ubongo
 

 And as always, feel free to nominate any other 2003 game that you think you’ll put in your top 3.  If someone else seconds it, the game will be added to the list.
 

 I’ll keep things open as long as the suggestions keep rolling in.  Then we’ll redo the election and see if our tastes have changed.  Thanks!
