Victoria, British Columbia – The Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) was founded in 1978 with the stated purpose of rewarding excellence in board and card game design and promoting top-quality games in the German market.
Considered to be one of the world’s most prestigious game awards, a Spiel des Jahres winner can usually expect to sell 300,000 to 500,000 copies.
The award is given by a jury of German-speaking board game critics (from Germany, Austria, Switzerland), who review games released in Germany in the preceding twelve months.
The criteria on which a game is evaluated include game concept (originality, playability, game value); rule structure (composition, clearness, comprehensibility); layout (box, board, rules) and design (functionality, workmanship). Complete details of the award can be found at the following link: http://www.spiel-des-jahres.com/cms/front_content.php?idcat=148
