Deutscher Spiele Preis

The Deutscher SpielePreis is one of two major German game awards, and is generally considered to be the "gamers' game" award, in contrast to the Spiel des Jahres, which generally leans toward recognizing family games.

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.
