We always wait about a month into the next year so we can try and play as many of the big games as possible, but we still haven't gotten around to all of the possibly great games we have seen on other reviewers end-of-year lists. With that caveat, listen for our comments and our lists are below: Doug's Honorable Mentions In the Footsteps of Darwin by Gregory Grard & Matthieu Verdier from Sorry We Are French Lunaris 45 by Rola & Costa from Pile Up Games Wandering Towers by Michael Kiesling & Wolfgang Kramer from Abacusspiele Moesteiro by Rola & Costa from Pythagoras Doug's Top Ten 10) Revive by Helge Meissner, Kristian Ostby, Eilif Svensson, & Anna Wermlund from Aporta Games 9) Terracotta Army by Przemyslaw Formal & Adam Kwapinski from Board&Dice 8) Marrakesh by Stefan Feld from Queen Games 7) Forest Shuffle by Kosch from Lookout Games 6) Amygdala by Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer from Game Brewer 5) Darwin's Journey by Simone Luciani & Nestore Mangone from ThunderGryph Games 4) House of Cats by William Attia & Kristian Ostby from Aporta Games 3) Tucana Builders by Kristian Ostby & Eilif Svensson from Aporta Games 2) The White Castle by Isra C & Shei S from Devir 1) Barcelona by Dani Garcia from Board&Dice Shelley's Honorable Mentions Oranienburger Kanal by Uwe Rosenberg from Spielworxx Forest Shuffle by Kosch from Lookout Games  Wandering Towers by Michael Kiesling & Wolfgang Kramer from Abacusspiele Earth by Maxime Tardif from Inside Up Games Moesteiro by Rola & Costa from Pythagoras Shelley's Top Ten 10) Terracotta Army by Przemyslaw Formal & Adam Kwapinski from Board&Dice 9) Joan of Arc - Orleans Draw & Write by Ryan Hendrickson & Reiner Stockhausen from dlp Games 8) Amygdala by Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer from Game Brewer 7) Neotopia by Orlando Sa & Andre Santos from MEBO Games 6) Darwin's Journey by Simone Luciani & Nestore Mangone from ThunderGryph Games 5) Caldera Park by Michael Kiesling & Wolfgang Kramer from Deep Print Games 4) Tucana Builders by Kristian Ostby & Eilif Svensson from Aporta Games 3) House of Cats by William Attia & Kristian Ostby from Aporta Games 2) The White Castle by Isra C & Shei S from Devir 1) Barcelona by Dani Garcia from Board&Dice
