ATTAUnited States · founded 2016 · judged by A jury of specialty game retailers and reviewers
The American Tabletop Awards were established in 2016 and are judged by a panel drawn from specialty game retail and reviewing. The awards are structured around player experience rather than genre: Early Gamers, Casual Games, Strategy Games, and Complex Games. This structure makes the results unusually practical for shoppers, since the categories map directly onto how much gaming experience the recipient has.
What this award means for you
ATTA categories are the most shopper-friendly of any award we track. If you know roughly how experienced the person is, the matching ATTA category is a strong shortlist.
