Favorite New Games at The 2008 Gathering of Friends

Among the relatively new (and as-yet-unreleased) games I was able to play at this year's Gathering of Friends, these really stood out (they're listed in alphabetical order):

• Agricola
• Felix the Cat in the Sack
• Game X
• Ghost Stories
• Hanging Gardens
• Pandemic
• Stone Age
• Ticket to Ride Card Game

Look for reviews of many of those games coming soon. You can also read my more detailed reports from the 2008 Gathering here and here; and Eric Martin wrote several reports as well as compiling a set of links to reports from other people.
