The revolution in tabletop gaming revealed and reviewed, in this entertaining and informative
look at over 40 years of award-winning games.
The annual Spiel des Jahres (Game of the
Year) Awards are like the Oscars of the
tabletop. Acclaimed British author and
games expert James Wallis investigates the
winners and losers of each year’s contest to
track the incredible explosion in amazing
new board games. From modern classics
like CATAN, Ticket to Ride, and Dixit to
once-lauded games that have now been
forgotten (not to mention several popular
hits that somehow missed a nomination),
this is a comprehensive yet hugely readable
study of the best board games ever made,
penned by one of the most knowledgeable
commentators on the hobby.
