Gaming Library Awardees

With the entrance of 2013, Gaming Library looks back to see which games deserve the most credit!

Game of the Year Award - 2012

Mage Wars

Mage Wars came out of the gates promising a very different experience of gameplay from other games. It pulls you into the feet of mages and wizards as you comb through your spell book to cast creatures, enchantments and traps in order to defeat your foe. The basic game is easy to learn but the customization, combinations and even the keywords make it a difficult game to master.

Agricola

Agricola is currently ranked #2 in boardgamegeek right now.

Flash Point : Fire Rescue

Flash Point : Fire Rescue was our most anticipated game of the year last year. This year it came out to battle Pandemic for the Team Builders award and it won by a slim margin. With it, players have constantly cooperated with each other against unknown circumstances, pitting them in dire situations where teamwork and coordination is essential for survival and victory

Story Tellers and Artists - 2012

How about going in an adventure where each chapter of the story unfolds seamlessly unto the next one? Mice and Mystics places players into the world of mice as they battle against insects, rats and the castle cat. Go through the sewers, find items and share cheese to strengthen your party in order to save the day!

Newcomer - 2012

Android : Netrunner

Netrunner was a long awaited game by card game fans. It is a game that involves careful deck building, resource management and psychological bluffing. This game was instantly sold out the moment it reached our shores. :)
