The final results can be found here.
There can be onlyonetwenty!
Back for a fifth year...
After a 7+ week open nomination period the nominations list is now closed and we have the top 50 nominees that will vie to make the cut for the top 20 in this most in-formal and un-official contest.
Don't forget to vote for the 20 Most Desired Reprints of 2014 -- VOTING IS CLOSED (534 votes)
We also have a number of nominees competing within the various categories. The number of entries in a category depended on the size of the category. When there was a tie for the last spot, all tied nominees were added (which is why some polls have a couple of extra games).
Updates:
As we hit key dates and numbers of votes I will periodically post updates.
Voting runs until Saturday, January 18th
Vote for any and all you are excited about. You can vote for multiple games in one category, and/or the same game in different categories.
Whether you're a fan, designer, publisher, designer's mom, or publisher's grandma campaigning during the vote is encouraged.
Heck, there isn't even a rule preventing campaigning within 1000 feet of the polls. Feel free to campaign here or anywhere else.
