Deutscher Spiele Preis

The Deutscher SpielePreis is awarded by the magazine Die Pöppel-Revue, which collects votes from many sources, including game clubs, game industry journalists and other professionals, hundreds of game shops, and its own subscriber list.

The results of the vote--the top ten games for the year--are announced each October at the Essen game fair.
