Geek of the week is an open forum focussed on getting to know our Geek of the Week. It was started back in September 2005, by Andrew H (Critical Mass), and has been going ever since.

This is a list of all the GOTW's. It started as a forum thread. Andrew converted it into a geeklist but it was apparently lost in a freak GL-accident. So I've gone ahead and recreated it. Each item lists the GOTW, and links to their profile and the GOTW thread. The game for the item is that players all-time #1 game (or, in a few cases, my best guess). For each item, I have copied and pasted all of that GOTW's replies. If a GOTW is missing this information, I either haven't gotten to it yet or there are just too many pages and I likely won't get to it (they were too popular!).

Please comment freely, but only the current GOTW should add new items (with their information and favorite game).

NOTE: a simple list is in the Wiki area, HERE.

I'm not an ohmygoshIhaveasinglefavoritegame kind of guy, but Notre Dame has definitely spent the most time on the table out of my  10 -rated games.

If you want to see the others, you'll have to check out my profile or the Geek of the Week #227: zefquaavius thread.

Thank you, Grzegorz, for bestowing this honor upon me. meeple

GotW #229 Tony FUNG (tonyfung1205)

My Pick for GotW: Masters of Venice
Reason: This game is often overlooked. It indeed does a great job in delivering a tense economic atmophere in 2-hour game length. I enjoy the stock and commodity speculation engine in this game.

More Favourite Games: RoboRally, Tumblin-Dice, Lord of the Rings, Formula Dé, Adv. Civilization, Acquire, Le Havre, Ingenious, Poker, Subbuteo, TurfMaster, GolfProfi, Battlestar Galactica, Mystery Rummy Series, ...

Dream game to own: Crokinole (too huge to store, too heavy to ship to hk)

GotW #237 Chris Hahn (Hahnarama)

My Pick for GotW: Colosseum
Reason: Besides being FULL of Eurotrash resource management and trading it is also very strategic. You need to pot your game plan, if you want to win, based on your very first hand. The other reason I love it is it's one of the few games that plays GREAT when you have have to add a 5th payer to it.

GotW #238 Michael T. Probst (erzengel)

My Pick for GotW: Das Motorsportspiel (alternate name: DTM Race Game)
Reason: A perfect ranking: 10

Race tracks with an seize of 160 x 80 cm, playable with every 1:87 seize car model you could find (and prefer). No other race game I know up to date looks so impressive and cool on your table (On your large table...)!
And not less important: absolute great and simple rules, but with full race flavor. Believe me, you'll smell the tire rubber...

Must buy, if you could find!

GotW #241, Brian Train.

Favourite Game: Minuteman. Published in 1976, I always come back to this one. Lumpy with subversion, assassinations, sedition, riots and DHS-gone-wild nastiness. Complete and utter fantasy, of course.
