Bruno's jeu de l'année nominees & Other awards
You can peruse the list at his site. Seeing as how I've only played one of them, I shan't comment.
I've played many more of the Meeple's Choice nominees, but I still couldn't bring myself to vote for three. (I voted for Battlestar Galactica and Cosmic Encounter .... yes, the latter is based on the Eon version. Sue me). I'm tempted to vote for Dominion (played several face to face games this weekend) ...
Update: And Rule #1 of the internet -- Snark begets Snark. (Rule #2 is that snark quality has no genetic component).
As for the Snark duel, I'm just impressed that Slate cited Acquire. Even negative mentions can be celebrated if you're a gamer geek. And in the Geeklist, I liked Decker's addition of Arkham Horror, with the note that "Journalists make great snacks!".
