MY NOMINATIONS

I know you said "by email to you". and that's probably fairer without
introducing bias, but I don't think the difference is great, and
thought this might help kick things off ...

Up to 5 nominations per category ...

Game of Year:
Perikles
Condottiere
Struggle of Empires
Imperial
Team RoboRally

Best New Game (not sure which WERE published in 2007 ...)
Hamburgum
Perikles?
Container


Best Game Mechanic:
1. Perikles' nomination and election phase.
2. Perikles' statue-points, which your choice of which cities to
attack and which to leave alone, for the rest of the game.
3. Perikles' 2-phase combat mechanic, with the result from the first
giving you a head-start on the second phase.
4. Perikles' mechanic of only the LEAD attacker or defender getting
the VP's for the battle, so a race to get yourself down as the LEAD
attacker or defender for the upcoming battles.
5. Oh, and Imperial's Rondel!


Best Filler:
Diamant
Werewolf
Cash 'n' Guns
Metro
Team RoboRally

These are only nominations for consideration. I look forward to the
voting. A fun thing to do, thanks Neil!
