Ogre Cave offers their opinions on the best products of 2006. Among the winners are True20 (best role-playing game), Player's Handbook 2 (best RPG supplement) and Caylus (best board game).
The list has a few surprises, mostly in the form of games I hadn't heard of before despite being popular enough to win categories. The castle-building board game Caylus was a new one one me, as was the runnerup RPG Artesia (and the comic book it's based on) and the card game winner Perplex City.
