Wasn't Gods played in the recent years too? it's not in the list

I'd vote for "The Chaos Engine" and "Magic Pockets"

It was but it's already been long enough to be voted for again. If this wasn't a special round...

Don't know if that was a serious vote but only games from these lists can be voted for this round:

This is the final day to vote, and it could still go either way.

If there are any late voters (capehorn?) it could sway the difference.

Thanks John.

It was another close vote. There are some stars on the table next to some games with questionable or unknown scoring. We came up with some rules for Shufflepuck Cafe, so this doesn't need a star anymore.

Then it looked like SCR was going to win, so we made some plans for that. But then Dogs of War got a late flurry of votes, and Gemini Wing jumped the table. One or two late votes from EAB could have swung it.

Rainbow Islands was always going to win, but with no late votes we are also playing Gemini Wing. I always found it to be rather clunky, but I guess we'll see during next month.
