Kennerspiel des JahresGermany · founded 2011 · judged by The same jury that awards Spiel des Jahres
Introduced in 2011, the Kennerspiel des Jahres recognizes games that are too complex for the main Spiel des Jahres award but still accessible enough for players who are not dedicated hobbyists. It is judged by the same jury on the same annual cycle. The category was created because the main award increasingly could not accommodate the growing market for medium-weight strategy games.
What this award means for you
Kennerspiel winners sit in a useful middle ground — meatier than a family game, but not a three-hour commitment. If your group has played a few modern games and wants something with more depth, this is a reliable place to look.
