We sincerely thank all the Kingdomino fans out there who have supported this game in its journey. This award represents all the hard work that Cathala and our product development team put in to make Kingdomino what it is today. We have worked with Bruno Cathala in the past and always have seen his excellence as a game designer, but it is rewarding to see others recognizing his work. “We are very honored that Kingdomino was chosen, especially with the other two choices, Magic Maze and El Dorado, being such great games. The winner of the Kennerspiel des Jahres award, which recognizes more complex board games, was announced at the same time as The Spiel des Jahres, and was awarded to Exit: The Game. The Kinderspiel des Jahres award, recognizing the best children’s game of the year, was awarded to Ice Cool on June 19 th, 2017. With this award, Kingdomino joins the ranks of games like last year’s winner, Codenames, and timeless classics Carcassone, The Settlers of Catan, and Ticket to Ride. A panel of German gaming experts and critics evaluated all three games looking for the best design, rules, layout, and overall gaming concept, ultimately deciding on Kingdomino as the winner.
For the 2017 Spiel des Jahres award Kingdomino beat out Magic Maze and El Dorado. The Spiel des Jahres is a part of a trio of awards given each year to the best board games new to the German market.Īlthough the Spiel des Jahres is awarded in Germany it is considered one of the reigning international authorities on picking the “best of the best” in gaming.
