Spiel des Jahres
The German Spiel des Jahres is perhaps the world's most prestigious game award. Founded in 1978 by a group of German game
critics to promote awareness and to increase the cultural value of games, the award recognizes outstanding games based on
originality, playability, and educational value of the game idea; organization, clarity and understandability of rules; packing and
layout of the gameboard and the game rules; and functionality and overall quality of the game materials included.
Each year the journalists who compose the Jury cast ballots to select the honorees and to award the main prize, the
Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year). In past years, a list of Nominees was selected, then a few weeks later, the
Spiel des Jahres was chosen from that list. Beginning in 2004, an initial list of Recommended games was published as
well as five Nominees announced as finalists; and finally, the Game of the Year is announced a few weeks after that, in early
summer.
