I have a few regrets that I didn't submit Last Call in Arkham to the Ennies this year because they now have a Solo Category! Even so, it would have been wicked hard competition in this field. These are all amazing games. I know my favorite, but which one is yours? Voting is now open! bit.ly/4wH1hyJ
