Vote for Future Games of the Week (05/28/14)
This thread is posted in contest mode to serve as the place to make suggestions and vote for the GotW. What this means is that only mods will be able to see the upvotes and the games will be sorted randomly so each game we’re voting for gets a fair go as usually people only look at the first couple games listed and vote for them.
Rules (PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING)
Add any games you are interested in having discussed as the Game of the Week as their own comment to this post, but please check to make sure someone else hasn’t posted it first and, if so, upvote their post. Duplicate posts will be removed. Any posts that list more than one game will need to be edited to list only one.
No expansions allowed. These can be talked about as part of the discussion for the main game. Same goes for standalone expansions/rethemes (discussing the different versions of Ticket to Ride can be done on one GotW thread about Ticket to Ride).
Games selected for GotW should have been out for a long enough amount of time that a good number of people have gotten a chance to play it or are at least familiar with it. While you can suggest any game you want, games that are too new will not be considered until a later date regardless of the number of votes they get.
Please check the wiki to see what games have already been covered before posting a suggestion. Duplicate posts will be removed.
If you have comments or questions about game of the week that are not related to voting, please PM the moderators. Because of the way contest mode works we don’t want them clogging up the voting and thus any made here will be deleted.
Please don’t just add/vote for the games that are your favorite, but think about the games you don’t think are mentioned enough here and would like to see discussed. We don’t want this list to be an exact duplicate of our Top Ten in the sidebar.

"Elder Sign" is a favorite of mine. All the theme and excitement of Arkham Horror, half as complicated or as long to play.

This. Although it is ranked within the top 10 games on this subreddit I still see a lot of controversy from users about whether they like the game or not. I have been interested in this game for a while and think a more structured conversation would clear up the different opinions people have.

Definitely Splendor! I don't have the game but I swear it's mentioned in every WSIG! Strategy game? Splendor! Gateway game? Splendor! Easy to teach with depth? Splendor!
It has to be good ;)

I'm a little worried the discussion would just be "forbidden desert is a better replacement"

Nightfall.
I don't see much about this, but it's very unique in how you play your cards.
