The Spiel des Jahres (German Game of the Year) is the biggest and most important games award worldwide, granted annually since 1979. Its goal is to provide guidance particularly for family gamers in the ever growing gaming market. Since 2001 the “Kinderspiel des Jahres” (Children's Game of the Year) is also awarded regularly. With the “Kennerspiel des Jahres” a third award, aimed at more experienced players, joined the “Spiel des Jahres” awards in 2011. These awards are generally considered the most respected in board games. (Reference)
We really like it but the instructions are not clear enough
An excellent gateway game! Quick to learn and teach. My wife, who prefers light games, asks to play regularly. Expansions add more complexity, if desired, but aren’t necessary to enjoy this game.
