About The Book
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.

"Much more than just a dry description of each year’s winning game, this is full of wit and warmth, and its many digressions and anecdotes are as enjoyable as the descriptions of the games themselves."
