Greatest ever (non-computer) game
There have been 76 nominations.
All games using playing cards (52) have been listed under one entry.
The groups for the heats have been randomly selected by Excel, so if all your favourites are in one heat.... tough.
Round 1 will have groups of 5 or 6 in each heat.
Round one is purely to sort the wheat from the chaff. You get two votes each and the top three go through. If you only want to use one vote (or none for that matter) you can.
In future rounds you'll only get one vote.

Another pie from me. I know of Subbuteo, but I don't think I've heard of the others.
*thinks: must be too old for this game*

You should have nominated more older games then.

Heh. They're already there. Stuff like chess, draughts, Cluedo, Monopoly, cards... When I were a young'un we couldn't afford fancy games like they can today. If it had to have batteries, it was too expensive.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Subbuteo & Downfall for me, everybody loves a bit of safe cracking....... well nearly I think the advert for downfall involved a safe being opened with the combo lock being turned like the dials on downfall...

Go to be Metro, a quick and "easy" strategy game that is good fun, but hard to master and requires thinking ahead to play it well.

Go is arguably older than any of those at over 2500 years. I'm rubbish at it, but it's a fantastic game. It gets my vote. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I forgot which game Go was until after I voted. Any chance I can change my vote from Sorry to Go please?
