These are the results of the "vote" on your favorite board game.  Please
realize that this was not really a vote, since most people just mentioned
the games that they have played and have found interesting/enjoyable.  I
just counted the number of responses that mentioned each game.  Note that 
some games are not really board games.

If anyone wants more information on a specific game, I am willing to mail
the descriptions/comments that I received about it; just drop me a note.
