1. Wolfchild
2. Powermonger
3. Lemmings 2

Looking at the votes, it seems no matter who wins Turrican, we will play Wolfchild in the next round. The game is a top class Core Design Simon Phipps production, which I've never really invested any time in before. So it might be interesting to see the progress of those unfamiliar with it, and we can all help each other to understand it at last.

History buffs can check out the story of the game here:

As usual, I'll wait another week and then its a complete surprise how to play it, although that does mean I wont be looking at making any rules. If there are issues with the game, we can look for those as we start to play it.
