Germany’s Spiel des Jahres, or boardgame of the year, awards were announced earlier today, with Vlaada Chvatil’s Codenames taking the top prize. It beat out Imhotep by Phil Walker-Harding and Karuba by Rüdiger Dorn.
The Kennerspiel, or “Connoisseur-gamer” Game of the Year, awarded to more complex games, went to Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King by Andreas Pelikan and Alexander Pfister, beating out Matt Leacock’s Pandemic: Legacy and T.I.M.E. Stories by Peggy Chassenet and Manuel Rozoy.
