I imagine many readers consider Race for the Galaxy’s selection as best card game of the year to be among the more unsurprising occurances of recent days. But I still find it impressive. I believe the German version of the game was only recently introduced by Abacus, so it had far less of a footprint in Germany than in the English speaking world. Despite that, it still prevailed in a tight race. So congratulations to Tom Lehmann, Abacus, and Rio Grande for a well deserved honor. Posted by Larry Levy on Oct 19, 2008 at 04:55 PM | #
