So, you showed the best game of 2012 as the banner image without context. Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game is brilliant and the game has only improved with each expansion. Also, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire (a pen & paper RPG) is off to a great start.

Go to boardgamegeek.com and revel in the detailed info on board games there. They have some top lists.
Small World is an almost perfect port.
As a fan of the original release of Netrunner, I got the biggest nerd boner when I heard Fantasy Flight Games got the rights to bring it back. Especially since they released it under their Living Card Game setup, which is just a fantastic way of handling card games.
I would say this deserves a place on your list...
Aww yeah. Pathfinder: Adventure Card Game gets my vote for game of the year. Our group has been replaying the classics (Thunderstone Advance, Ticket to Ride) and games we just plain love (Road Kill Rally, Last Night on Earth, Warcraft Adventure Game) so I can't comment on too many more brand spankin new games.
How about instead of complaining about the way they did the list you just go out and buy the game? I guarantee you'll be much happier.
Go get it. It's only $30-$35 bucks and it's pretty good.
Definitely check out http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/, the site Quinns writes for then. Great stuff.
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game - one of the best board/card games at emulating the feel of RPG adventuring. Wildly successful and available everywhere (even if you can't fit the box in a studio apartment)
It was said last year and it is definitely about to get said again, Kotaku needs to run more articles like this.... like seriously I would be interested in reading these and maybe more inclined to buy some. We get alot of kickstarter video game posts and there are alot of great board games that go to kick starter as…
What about the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game? Kinda works like a tabletop RPG, but no DM is needed.
It's a good movie. Ignore criticisms like this, which is mostly really inaccurate and stupid and the judgments used against it here would never be used against other movies that are actually very terrible.
That's actually Shanghai, not Mahjongg. Shanghai is the matching game. Mahjongg is a 2/4 player game that's more like Rummy. Entirely different things. It'd be like calling War and Texas Hold 'Em the same game since they both use Trump cards.
The versions of Mahjong you normally find on windows are a solitaire variant which has absolutely nothing to do with the actual game. Haven't tried that specific one out, but I see no reason why it would be different. Real Mahjong is more like chess.
I dunno, have you ever played the five games up there? Risk may cause some tantrums, but unless you've played the five above, I'm not sure you're qualified to say the list fails without Risk.
That's like saying the list is invalidated because it doesn't include the car bingo game. That game will make you hate people too, because you're trapped into playing it with no escape for hours. It's not the mechanics of the game that make Monopoly players turn on each other, it's that no one (or only one of you)…
Yeah, Cosmic Encounter adds a lot of options for the kind of evil and surprise that works perfectly in a group of friends. Just try playing a game where one player pisses off the rest of the group enough that they conspire to all reach 5 colonies at the same time. Effectively, this means the game doesn't have a…
The above image is a picture of an actual game of Merchants & Marauders I played with my wife and a couple friends. The giant yellow frigate is my wife's fully decked-out ship, and the tiny black sloop is a random NPC pirate ship. Due to it's maneuverability and some lucky roles, that little sloop disabled, boarded,…
