Nicely done as always, Larry!
Two of the top 3 were ones I voted for, the one that wasn=E2=80=99t I haven=
=E2=80=99t
played yet but now am highly motivated to try(if it plays 2 anyway,
otherwise will have to wait!)
I am curious as to whether folks haven=E2=80=99t played Watergate or if it =
simply
wasn=E2=80=99t their cup of tea, as that one to me was the best game of all=
of
them. I love Twilight Struggle and others of its spiritual ancestry and
Watergate packs in a similar experience with a trivial set up/tear down
time and 30-60 minute gameplay which sends it flying to the stratosphere of
games in my collection that will get played many times. Especially now
since it is a 2p.
