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!
