Board games can be an event in themselves: this is certainly the case with titles such as \u201cHot Streak\u201d, where we cheer on mascots together, \u201cDito!\u201d (\u201cJinxO\u201d), where we try to guess the word associations of others, the team challenge \u201cTake Time\u201d, or the storytelling game \u201cWilmot\u2019s Warehouse\u201d. The latter draws on the video game aesthetics of its digital counterpart. Similar influences can also be seen in \u201cToy Battle\u201d (reminiscent of \u201cClash Royale\u201d), \u201cTag Team\u201d, \u201cCozy Sticker Ville\u201d, \u201cGrundstein von Metropolis\u201d (\u201cFoundations of Metropolis\u201d) and even the children\u2019s game \u201cDie Insel der Mookies\u201d (\u201cMooki Island\u201d). \u201cBoss Fighters QR\u201d and \u201cToriki\u201d go one step further: here, the analogue gaming experience is linked to an app, meaning there is always a smartphone or tablet on the table.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Is this digitalisation a trend? No, because even in this year\u2019s selection, the vast majority of new releases do not have an app. Moreover, games with apps have already appeared in previous years: \u201cWerw\u00f6rter\u201d and \u201cDetective\u201d were even nominated for awards. For the jury members, it is crucial that the app supports the analogue gameplay on the table rather than dominating it. Such innovations can also attract new audiences to board games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" class=\"wp-image-35632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-630x354.png\" alt=\"The path\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-630x354.png 630w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26-1280x720.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/derweg26.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The journey of the games to the prize<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The highlights of these children\u2019s games stand out thanks to their unique materials.

However, there were also titles with some flaws. Whilst this is the case every year, it was particularly frustrating this time around. Never before have so many games from the top 10 per cent of the year\u2019s releases been affected by flaws such as:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Incomplete, ambiguous and contradictory rules.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The lack of rule summaries to assist players, even though they would have been necessary.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Grossly inaccurate age ratings on the boxes.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Although the elements essential to the process are available in German, supplementary elements are only available in English.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Game components that no longer work as intended in poor lighting or after barely more than ten games.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Despite these shortcomings, some titles have made it onto the jury\u2019s shortlists, as the flaws are not considered to carry as much weight when weighed against the game\u2019s outstanding appeal. However, there were likely more than a few titles that failed to secure a majority in the jury vote due to such shortcomings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is not possible to quantify this precisely, as each jury member brings their own individual experiences to bear. After all, the jury does not conduct tests where one ticks off criteria on a clipboard and then arrives at a seemingly objective score as the result. The focus is always on the question of the game\u2019s appeal and what effect the game has on people. And on this point, all jury members agree: all the nominated and recommended games guarantee that you will enjoy playing them time and time again.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The jury for the Spiel des Jahres and Kennerspiel des Jahres awards, as well as the Kinderspiel des Jahres jury, were able to select 22 outstanding games from a record number of 571 new releases.
