Me either.  A bunch of new games but not one that was released in 2016.

"45 minutes of pooping Tribbles being juggled by a drunken Horta would be better than Season 1 of TNG." - SirAndrewD

"you don't look at the mantelpiece when you're poking the fire" - Bawb

"Can't 'un' until you 'pre', son." - Gus

Pinetree

Yeah, the only downside to it is that the quality of the map printing is not great. Otherwise, great package, lots of chrome, lots of tactical choices to make.

Hmm. I'll have to check my map. I don't recall it being subpar, but I may have beem too focused on processing the rules ;)

Pinetree

Yeah, it's a nitpick I know. :P I didn't like how the seams were already showing noticeable damage when it was brand new. Down to the quality of paper I guess, and seeing that after being pretty impressed by the rest of the contents.

Best New Game - Terraforming Mars
Best New Game - Cry Havoc
Best Reprint - 51st State Master Set

Bison

I've only played one game released in 2016.  Evolution: Climate.  Its good, but I don't think its game of the year material.  I really need to get more up to date on my game collection.  :P

Cyrano

Can't quite decide if it's a reprint (which it is) or a totally new game (which, in a measure, it is) but:

BEST REPRINT:  "Silver Bayonet, 25th Anniversary Edition": GMT

BEST GAME:  "Falling Skies": GMT

Sergeant at Arms of La Fraternite des Boutons Carres

One mustachioed, cigar-chomping, bespectacled deity, entirely at your service.

You didn't know? My Corps has already sailed to Berlin. We got there 3 days ago and we've been in the Tiergarten on the piss ever since. -- Marshal Soult, October 1806

Wing Leader: Supremacy 1943-1945 - GMT

Did you get yer copy already?!?  :o

No, but if it doesn't get nominated now it could end up missing the cutoff. And I am confident it deserves to be nominated.
