I'd be interested to see people's reasons for these votes. In particular anyone voting Citadels over Confrontation - I'm going to assume most of you have played both, and IMO Confrontation is Renier Knizia's best game, so...

[Thisisnotasmile]

I voted Citadels because I've played it and like it and I've never played the Lord of the Rings game because it is a Lord of the Rings game.

[Tables]

I hate LotRs and don't like many of their games, but Confrontation is actually good. I would suggest players give it a look.

Stats have finally been edited into the post following the matchups, for those interested in such things.

Voting will end tomorrow, assuming I have time to update...

So many games I haven't played.  That includes Kingdom Builder: Boggle gets a vote to justify my nomination.

I really like Citadels, and Confrontation didn't sound overly exciting, and it's two player only.

What I'm more interested in: How can anyone vote TransEuropa over Galaxy Trucker?

I know some people who don't like GT. Blasphemy, I know, but they're not keen on time-pressure games.

In case you aren't up with the BGG news GT is coming to IOS

Lol, I just checked this and it's supposed to have async online play.

[D Bo]

You will not regret that vote. It's a super-quality game.

I'm struggling to think of a name for this one, so I'll go with the Revision Division, as it features several games with multiple versions. There also seems to be a sub-theme of Euro vs. Ameritrash, though there's a lot of that throughout the bracket. Two BGG top 10 games, Agricola and Power Grid, as well as the two highest ranked 2012 games to make the bracket.

I love D&D but the edition wasn't specified and I rarely find the time for D&D while I can find time for Agricola much more frequently and is harder to get a group together for

A link to the bracket spreadsheet has been added to the OP, now that the final division is up.
