Hey everyone. In case you haven't heard, I've had to put my War of the Ring expansions video on hold, so in the meantime I want to get started on the next full game tutorial. I've asked the Rules Lawyers for suggestions, and we've got a fresh new crop of games for all of you to vote on.

Vindication: In first place is a Vindication, I've featured this game on a poll before, but it seems to have grown in popularity since then. I'm excited about this game because I love the storytelling aspect of it. You start off as a wretched, pitiful figure trying to redeem yourself. It's definitely a theme we don't see too often, so I'd love to dive into it.

Maracaibo: In second is one that I remember hearing a ton of good stuff about when it came out, though I never actually got a chance to try it. Designed by Alexander Pfister, this is a Caribbean theme Trade 'Em Up that draws a lot from Great Western Trail, which I loved. Having taught quite a few combat heavy games, it might be nice to go with something a little more peaceful, at least in theme.

Arkham Horror - The Card Game: This co-op living card game is a wonderful addition to FFG's Lovecraft family of games. While there is a fairly standard base game, the true joy comes from picking up a few expansions and enhancing your character with new cards and abilities. This is another game that seems to have gained some extra attention as of late, and I imagine NPI's recent coverage has something to do with that. It's also another game that has been on my poll before, so I'm curious to see how well it will do this time.

Civilization - A New Dawn: This game was tied for third with Arkham Horror LCG, so I'm using my Editor's Choice to bring it in to the poll. I also just love the Civilization video game franchise. I've played every single computer entry in the series, and I've wanted to try out the board game for a loooooong time. It's really up my alley, but not all of my friends are as into it as I am. But one of the perks of working in board game media is it's a lot easier to get friends to play certain games with you. It's for work :D

As always, feel free to vote for as many games as you'd like. Because I want to get started on these as soon as possible, this poll will run a little quicker than usual. It'll end on November 29th, so make sure to get your votes in.
