Game of the Year Games

Every year a group of German game reviewers gather together to select the best game of the year.
The Spiel des Jahres, as their award is called, has quickly become recognized
as the pinnacle of game awards.

Each year the group picks a critics prizes game, and a children's game of the year
Occasionally they also give out a special award for a game that deserves special recognition.
