It’s a semi-cooperative game where we all work together to achieve victory…except for the traitors. And there will be traitors. Hidden traitors. Some that may not even know they’re traitors until midway through the game. It’s awesome.

Last week we received the annual Holiday Gift Guide mailer from a great board game store in our area – Game Night Games.
I always love seeing what they include in their mailer and this year they included a number of Top 5 Games lists. So I thought it would be great to share their recommendations.
Why? Because this is their “day job”.
They’re dealing with customers every day, all day and they know what people are most interested in buying and playing. So it’s always a fun activity to see what they list.

In Zooloretto, players collect sets of animals and place them in their zoo to score points. The player who does the best job managing the animals in their zoo will be crowned the king of the zoos.

He loves games that makes him think and he loves a challenge. He also really likes doing some things on his own – like solving puzzles.
So I really shouldn’t be surprised that he gives Gravity Maze one of his highest ratings.

But there’s also another reliable source for Game of the Year each year and that’s the Spiel des Jahres.
