The Game Awards revealed this year’s nominees on Monday. The Game of the Year contenders weren’t unexpected, though a few of them made history in the process. Those nominations generated controversy too, like they often do, and showed that the jury still has a way to go in evaluating games on the margins, like mobile games.

It’s interesting to see the focus on video games at The Game Awards, but I agree that a board game category could bring more diversity to the nominations. Board games have a passionate community and deserve recognition too. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves in the future!
Absolutely, the rise of board games in recent years really deserves recognition. They’ve brought so many people together, offering a unique social experience that video games sometimes can’t match. A dedicated category could really highlight the creativity and craftsmanship in that space!
