Twilight Struggle - 2 | 2.72 | Tables, theory

Puerto Rico - 3 | 2.34 | Davio, michaeljb, Rabid
Steam - 1 | 3.11 | RichardNixon

Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game - 1 | 2.00 | Qvist
The Spoils - 1 | 1.00 | Lekkit

Mage Knight: The Board Game - 1 | 1.00 | Qvist
Taboo - 1 | 2.00 | Lekkit

Bohnanza - 1 | 3.25 | D Bo; theory
Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization - 3 | 1.98 | mith, Tables, ipofanes; Qvist

If I were naming this division, it would be Civilization Division, with Sid Meier's Civilization, Through the Ages, and Civ-Lite 7 Wonders as the overall #1 seed. The seeding system produced a quirky pair of matchups between Qvist and Lekkit's top two games. This division is pretty stacked, with four BGG top 10 games.

BTW, maybe having a poll for each game is easier? Too many threads needed?

this is the only case where I've played both games, so I'm not going to vote on any of the others

If I have played only one of the two contestants and I didn't find it absolutely horrible, I voted for it. I am quite sure I'd enjoy rather Mage Knight than Taboo but I can't be certain.

Qvist · « **Reply #68 on:** January 24, 2013, 03:42:49 am »

yeah, before I vote I like to have clarification too. Is there a ruling for the voting. Do we have to know both games in a matchup or at least one or can we vote even we don't know any of both games?

Qvist · « **Reply #69 on:** January 24, 2013, 04:13:06 am »

But I already can give some comments.

7 Wonders - Scrabble - Easy choice. I dislike Scrabble and 7 Wonders is fun.
Set - San Guo Sha - I never played Set and never even heard of the Chinese one. But it seems an interesting Bang! variant.
Mafia - Ra - I like playing Mafia playing on the forums, but in real-life the player elimination is just annoying. I played Ra only against an AI and it's an really interesting set collection game.
Star Wars RPG - Twilight Struggle - Never played any of these. I'm not a role-playing guy and I'm not that interested in Twilight Struggle either.
Puerto Rico - Steam - Puerto Rico is interesting, but not one of my all-time favs, just maybe because I haven't played it that much yet. Steam is definitely a game to try out, but I don't know it.
Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game - The Spoils - I nominated Sid Meier's Civilization, so I will probably vote for it. I know Spoils, but never played it. It seems like an interesting "fix" of M:tG though.
Mage Knight: The Board Game - Taboo - Hard to compare these two. I mean Mage Knight is one of my all time favs and I prefer it everytime over Taboo, but I mean it really depends on the player group which of those to play, right?
Bohnanza - Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization - I never played Bohnanza, shame on me, but I know it's fun game. But I'm currently really into TtA, it's a great civ game, Vlaada is a genius.

Real votes to come after I got clarification.

"Use whatever criteria you like" - If you feel you know enough about a game to make a decision without having played it (you hate the genre, it's up against one of your absolute favorites, you think the artwork is cheesy, whatever), go for it.

I think Scrabbles been screwed by the system here. Definitely deserves to do better than half of these games, but has no chance being drawn against 7W round one.
