2018 has been and gone and goodness, that was definitely a year. But it’s time once again for you to analyse the year in formats for us with the annual UKGameshows.com/Bother’s Bar Poll of the Year.

By popular demand we’ve got some new categories. There may be some teething trouble but we’ll see what happens and change for next year accordingly.

We’re also doing away with the weighing the vote rule, it seemed quite clever at the time but in retrospect we’re not sure it made much sense.
