Oh, hey: this year's GAMES 100 is out
Sid Sackson's BuyWord is the Game of the Year (but, curiously, not Best Word Game) according to GAMES Magazine. Also notable is Memoir '44 in the Historical Simulation category I didn't know they had, and a tie for Best Abstract Strategy Game. Our men at Funagain have the whole, absurdly long list.
