I do feel that the selections should have a bit of staying power (or have contributed something essential to follow-on games) and anything in the last five years probably isn't going to cut it as one of the "all-time greats".
But thinking about it. I'd put in Icehouse or Zendo as "recent classics". Risk should certainly get in though and Monopoly probably should too.
In the Indie-RPG category I suspect that Sorcerer should make it in, mainly because it (and Ron) kicked off a wave of indie-game design. I'd say that Dogs or Burning Wheel would probably be a good second choice for games that made something really great out of the indie-aesthetic.
