2010's crop of new board games included themes for just about everyone: We were treated to games about painting a cathedral ceiling, exploring monster-filled dungeons, running a busy Chinese restaurant, drafting the U.S. constitution, solving a murder, and much more. It was another great year for gamers.

Designed by Wolfgang Panning, Marco Ruskowski and Marcel Süsselbeck, published by Queen Games.In this excellent family strategy game, players are artisans who work to restore the fresco in a Renaissance church. With the help of five workers, players plan each day by choosing from such tasks as buying paints in the market, mixing paints to create additional colors, restoring part of the fresco, and painting portraits. The first decision you make each day is when to start work -- an earlier time has benefits but also causes workers to be less productive due to lack of sleep. Fresco is a beautiful, engaging board game.
