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.

Entrepreneurs and Builders  - 2012

Power Grid 

Power Grid sets the bar high when it comes to learning the ropes in becoming a businessman. It encompasses the whole scope from assest investment, supply and demand, operations research and  capital expenditures. 

 Thinkers and Planners - 2012 

Agricola

Agricola is currently ranked #2 in boardgamegeek right now. The game is deep and really calls for strategic planning as you find a way to have the best family and farm given the set of limited opportunities. The game is fresh thanks to the cards that allows for different combos and strategies with each game played

 

  Getting to Know Each Other - 2012

Dixit

This year, Dixit finally beats Time's Up : Title Recall as it came out with more expansions with better components and better art. This further allowed people to express themselves more and learn things about each other. 


Team Builders - 2012 

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 

Mice and Mystics

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. :)
