Game Ratings from the Gathering
Joe Huber did a great job of summarizing the impressions of games from the Gathering. Below is the summary of his work. The rating system: + = thumbs up, 0 = neutral, and - = thumbs down. Based on everything I've read, I'm most interested in Power Grid, St Petersburg, and Goa.
