We'll do this in two stages: Nominations and Voting
Eligibility
Any game or expansion is eligible if it is anticipated to ship in 2010. Whether it will actually ship in 2010 is another matter.
Nominations
Open for one week until Wednesday, January 20th at approximately 3:00PM MST
To nominate a game add it to this geeklist. Please add a short note stating why it is anticipated that the game will ship in 2010.
To vote for a nomination thumb its entry.
The top 50 nominations will be entered into the final vote for the top 20.
Periodic nominations updates
Last updated Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 6:15PM MST
Periodically I'll post how the nominations are going in the voting thread here: [POLLS] Most anticipated games of 2010 - VOTING IS NOW OPEN
Voting
Open at the conclusion of nominations through Sunday, January 31st
At the conclusion of nominations I will add a poll to the beginning of this forum thread: [POLLS] Most anticipated games of 2010 - VOTING IS NOW OPEN
The poll will contain the top 50 nominations.
Other
If the particular game is part of a series (such as the Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game) I may combine multiple nominations into one entry for final voting if it appears as if the series is anticipated rather than a specific release in the series.
Also, if there isn't any justification for why a particular game is anticipated to ship in 2010 I may removed it from final voting. This only reason I state this is to separate anticipated 2010 releases from wishlist items. Yes, it would be nice if Hasbro/Avalon Hill reprinted Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit or Merchant of Venus but at this point I don't believe there is any reason to anticipate their release in 2010.
