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.

I have never come across any of those in that list before.  Should we have a Pie option? _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Absolute Balderdash gets my first vote straight away.
I have played risk and not the others, but I'm not sure if I rate it that much so it may not get my second vote.

Well, I have to support my own act this week and save Risk.

I'm in a position of having heard of a couple of those but not played any so I will respectfully abstain on this occasion. It's a must every time  Al

I only know Othello and Risk from this round and I didn't like Risk so Othello it is!

I'll vote for blood bowl, although the screwed it up after the first edition. Second edition onwards are al far too complicated for their own good.

Diplomacy was fun, until you realise the only way to win is to bare face lie to your friends. Then it was easy. Risk was fun too. Hmm.
