Tag - Spiel des Jahres

We’re proud of our Diamond Climber Awards here at Meeple Mountain, but even we recognise that there is one tabletop award body that justifiably dominates the hobby. Widely recognised as the Academy Awards of tabletop games, a Spiel des Jahres nomination can increase game sales anywhere between three and twenty times, with the winning game likely to sell up to half a million copies as a result.

Sure, we may have poked some fun at the Spiel des Jahres once or twice in the past but it’s come from a position of utmost respect for the awards themselves and the games they celebrate. Check out the articles and reviews below to see just why the Spiel des Jahres are held in such high esteem. Then make sure you check out our definitive guide to the Spiel des Jahres awards.
