Mensa Best Mind Game Award

For the past several years, Mensa has recognized a rather quirky selection of some of the best games on the American market. Each year, the Mensa Mind Games event is held somewhere in the United States. Mensa members are invited to play and judge the games which have been submitted to compete for the award (war games and electronic games are not eligible). The five most popular games based on originality, game play, aesthetics, play value, and clarity of instructions are named Mensa Select.
