Kotaku's list of Top 5 board games of 2012

Every year the last few days are spent of summarizing, remembering what good and bad we've been through.   Kotaku, a gamer site, has made a list of top 5 board games of this year and it makes me happy to see a fellow Czech, the boardgame designer mastermind Vlaada Chvatil, snatching the first place with his (as I heard) fantastic game called Mage Knight.

Raving reviews speak of fantastic puzzle-like card fantasy game with a lot of planning... which reminds me a lot of Dungeon Petz, another of his games. However, I love Dungeon Petz so I wouldn't mind another game of a similar style. The only bad thing about Mage Knight is that it costs about 1600 CZK, which is about $80 or €65. Phew, way too much for a blind purchase. (And I've been sorta saving up for Mansions of Madness...)

Amongst other items on the list include an interesting friendship-wrecking zombie game City of Horror or a Magic: The Gathering's designers another card game Android: Netrunner which is also getting universal praise.

The list can be found here on Kotaku.
