Alex’s List

  1. Gloomhaven
  2. Codenames 
  3. Zombicide

 

Larry’s List:

  1. 2014 - Marvel Dice Masters: Nearly as much for what it did wrong as anything, this one changed the production scale of Dice within the industry in 2014, and who can forget the shortage of product, despite that it has gone on to this day and still enjoys decent sales.
  2. 2013 – Viticulture: Lavish production, Stonemaier production with game-play married closely to physical production. They have raised what is expected and showed the industry what is possible in marrying Form and Function at a whole new level.
  3. 2011 – Risk Legacy: First of the Legacy titles, lead to many more, and has inspired the industry.
