With so many stellar games released last year we wanted to see what everyone’s favorites are!
In the comments below please share your top five favorite board games released in 2012.
(note: I say “board games” in the general sense… card games, miniatures games, RPGs, etc. are all welcome!)
1. Terra Mystica
2. Tzolk’in: Der Maya-Kalender
3. Mage Knight Board Game
4. Lords of Waterdeep
5. Ginkgopolis
I never really notice the release year of a game, but as apparently Lords of Waterdeep was released in 2012, it would get my vote. By default (I don’t think I played any other game released in 2012), but also because it is a great game!
Smash Up!
Roll to the South Pole
Star Trek Catan
Pocket Battles: Macedonians v Persians
Hot Rod Creeps
Mage Wars
Seasons
King of Tokyo
Android Netrunner
Lords of Waterdeep
What a year!
1. Smash up
2. Xwing
3. Star trek catan
4. Dungeon!(new edition)
@Dr. Wildcat – I totally about Trajan. Easily the best game I played this year even if it technically was released in Europe last year. Another one is Village. If you like worker placement games give this one a shot.
1. Mage Knight: The Board Game
2. Lords of Waterdeep
3. Tzolk’in
And for all of you who understands Swedish – here’s my conclusion of 2012:

Zombicide
Mice & Mystics
Smash Up
Those are the 2012 games I own and liked playing, but there’s other games that got new expansions this year that make the grade as well.
Summoner Wars
Carcassonne
There’s probably other 2012 games I’ve played and liked, but I’ve got a terrible memory for that sort of thing.
And worse than my memory is the list of 2012 games I’ve bought but have yet to play. I’m looking forward to them though!
I’m surprised to see King of Tokyo up here since it came out in 2011
Descent: Journeys in the Dark (2ed)
