Back for a seventh year...
After a 2 week open nomination period the nominations list is now closed and we have the top5051 nominees that will vie to make the cut for the top 20 in this most in-formal and un-official contest.
For the first time ever we had two nominees break 1000 nomination votes, and Scythe almost broke 2000. That's a lot of anticipation.
We also have a number of nominees competing within the various categories. The number of entries in a category depended on the size of the category. When there was a tie for the last spot, all tied nominees were added (which is why some polls have a couple of extra games).
Updates:
As we hit key dates and numbers of votes I will periodically post updates.
Voting runs until Sunday, January 24th
Vote for any and all you are excited about. You can vote for multiple games in one category, and/or the same game in different categories.
Campaigning for your favorites
Go for it. If you're a publisher, designer, or designer's mom don't hesitate to campaign for your favorites. Bribing voters is fine too. Pretty much anything goes as long as kittens, puppies and small children aren't injured. We have to draw the line somewhere.
Bribing Voters
In the past, publishers and designers have offered web released scenarios, special cards, etc. as bribes to voters if they reach a certain position in the final voting. This is completely acceptable as it drives anticipation, which is the point of this contest.
Don't forget that all bribes need to comply with BGG's policies on contests and promotions. General guidance is that whatever bribe is offered needs to be available to everyone, and, for example, not just those that win copies of games. A good example of a bribe that stays within BGG's policies are Sandy Peterson's offer to release rules for a new Great Old One in Cthulhu Wars, or designers/publishers that offer to release web scenarios.
In the end, the intent of the bribes is just to have fun and allow publishers/designers to give a nod to all their anticipant fans.
If you have any questions regarding whether a bribe you're contemplating runs contrary to BGG rules I would suggest sending a geekmail to Octavian or Chad.
Good luck to all the finalists in this most in-formal and un-official competition!!!Poll: 20 Most Anticipated Games of 2016 Category: Abstract
