Logo of the German Game Award 2011
The logo from 1999 to 2006
The German Game Award , also known as the German Game Award , is a game award for German-language board and card game innovations. It is awarded for the best family and adult game and as the German Children's Game Prize for the best children's game of the current year of games. With the trophy Essen spring was 2016 Author's awarded the most exemplary rule.
In contrast to the Game of the Year Critics' Prize, the German Games Prize is a specialist audience award in which interested individual players, gaming groups, dealers and journalists are invited to vote. In 1990 it took the place of the Golden Pöppels awarded by the trade journal Die Pöppel-Revue . The German Games Prize is awarded by Friedhelm Merz Verlag in Bonn . It is awarded every year on the evening before the International Game Days in Essen .
Election mode
The German Games Prize is based on a broad-based specialist audience and expert survey. Up to the year 2000, the result of the expert audience vote among the readers of the Pöppel-Revue made up 40 percent of the overall result. Sixty percent of the results were from three surveys among game journalists, gaming circles and retailers.
In 2000, the German Games Prize fell into crisis after it was revealed that the Pöppel-Revue had multiplied the results of its reader survey several times by a fixed factor and thus announced an excessive number of participants. In the following year the Pöppel-Revue stopped its publication.
Since 2001, every player has been able to vote on the Internet. In addition, journalists, game groups , dealers and readers of the trade magazine Fairplay , Spielbox and Spielerei are invited to participate. The vote is based on around 2000 participants. Each participant may vote for what they consider to be the five best games of the current year, which run from the middle of the previous year to the middle of the current year. This includes all games that were presented at the Essen International Game Days in the previous year or at the Nuremberg Toy Fair held in the same year . In addition, a child's play can be selected.
In 2018, Merz Verlag moved the end of the voting retrospectively by seven days after a YouTuber ("Boardgamedigger") attempted to confirm the result by promising a promotional article in favor of the game Klong! to influence.
Essen spring
The winner of the Golden Pen, awarded by the City of Essen from 1981 to 2016, for the best rules of the game of the year was determined by a jury of experts and has been awarded since 1990 as part of the German Game Prize.

* Since the 6th place was awarded twice due to a tie, Merz-Verlag included an eleventh game in the “Top Ten” in 2017 with the
race to El Dorado (
Reiner Knizia /
Ravensburger ), while Fabelsaft, Captain Sonar and Magic Maze each took one place were upgraded.
** Four days before the announced end of the voting on July 31, 2018, Merz-Verlag canceled the vote and retrospectively declared the votes received after July 23 to be invalid.
