LIke many people was surprised that Tobago didn’t get a nomination. I’m not a huge fan but it seemed to be the sort of game that fits the SdJ.
I like the idea of the SdJ Plus award and hope it continues into the future. I haven’t yet played World Without End (the English name for Die Tore der Welt) but am looking forward to it.
from that list I won’t be surprised if Dixit wins, though I’d prefer to see it go to Through The Ages or possibly Fresco (which I only broke the seal on last night, played a couple of turns to get the hang of the rules and it looks good..). I don’t know anything a bout the other two nominees.
