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.
