Winners Announced For 14th Annual Golden Geek Awards

Devon Norris

You can now see all of the winners from the 14th Annual Gold Geek Awards. You can read through the forum post and the comments here.

Here are all the categories and the winners, though, in case you want a quick overview of the results. Keep in mind that the awards are voted upon by a large volume of BGG users and not smaller audiences or critics. Nearly 10,000 people voted this year. And Wingspan had a great run.

If I had any disagreements with the list, it would be with Wingspan winning in the “Strategy Game” category (and maybe the “Innovative” category, as well), but I can’t complain. Seems like a lot of people loved how accessible and fun the game was, but I think that strategy games with more depth and complexity should be showcased in that category.

But congrats to the people at Stonemaier Games for Wingspan and Tapestry, the folks at Renegade Games Studio for Paladins of the West Kingdom and Raiders of the North Sea, Capstone Games for Watergate, and KOSMOS for The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine.

There are some really good games on this list, so check them out if you have some time
