Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

I would like some board and card game representation as well. As far as categories, off the top of my head, I can think of:

Best Board Game
Best Card Game
Best Expansion
Best Thematic Game
Best Presentation
Best 2 Player Game
Best Party Game
Best New Mechanic/Rule

You can go for more niche categories like "Best cooperative game" or something, but I have no idea if enough games of a certain type come out every year. The above would be a good spread and would integrate pretty well with the Critical Hits without bloating them up too much.

This has been the sticking point thus far; plenty of folks have said board/card games should be covered, but it took until GrandpaPants's post for anyone to suggest a set of categories and nobody has expressed interest in resolving board/card game categorization difficulties.

I'd be happy to be one of the panel of judges, but obviously my knowledge of board games isn't absolute. There are a few people in the bg thread who write good posts and also play a number of the new releases, so let's see if they bite.

Mind, it's not that you're judging which game is best; it's that you may be called upon to judge "is this properly an expansion or not".

Yeah, the... Meta judge? I don't know, but that is fine by me.
