We are old friends and every year, we spend a weekend in a rented house to play boardgames and drink beer. That's great, but it's always a challenge to pick the next game. Sometimes, the most pushy person simply grabs the privilege.

Simply rotating the game vote does not seem right to me, because there's great variances in game length.

Do you have strategies and opinions? Please tell me if you do.

Everybody submits up to 3 games. Once all the votes are in everybody gets to veto a single game out of all the submissions. And then random pick from the remaining ones.

Another way: everybody submits 3 games and then do an approval vote between all the options. This means that everybody can vote for as many games as they want (no ranking, just a list of games they approve of) and then simply count the approvals for each game.
