The Cracked LCD Countdown #2

Last month's Cracked LCD Countdown was one of the most popular and beloved board game article to ever appear on the internet. I am positive that sales of all of the listed games surged over the past couple of weeks as poser board gamers everywhere scrambled to accede to my tastes and opinions. Did you buy your copy of RISK yet?

So this week it's time for an all-new Cracked LCD Countdown, and I think this list might do to the hobby gaming community what The Count is doing to poor old Edward in this picture- it's going to knock the sparkle right off its face.

This list is so volatile that I can't post its full title here. I started to, but Ubarose IMed me and said "No, Barnes, no. You can't do that. Not even here at F:AT. Won't you think of the fatbellies?" This list is so potentially devasting to the very idea of hobby gaming that I had to wait for Gameshark Editor Bill Abner to go on vacation so I could slip it by Jeff McAllister, his fill-in.

Perhaps you will think this is an April Fools Joke. But in the words of the late, great Robert Martin in response to some ass clown at BGG who was questioning his love for AT games, "I have never been more serious in my life".

So here it is then. Another Top Ten list, and another nail in the F:AT coffin. May god have mercy on us all.
