Welcome to our 10th annual Board Game Quest Board Game Awards. Each year we take some time to honor the best and most creative new tabletop games from the previous years. For those wondering, we usually wait until spring to announce our nominees to give us time to play games that came out late in the winter.
As usual, we have a total of 11 award categories this year, with 5 nominees in each. Our editorial team has spent a ton of time playing games, and has chosen a group of titles from last year that we consider really outstanding. It’s from among these nominations that we will choose a winner. However, since we wouldn’t be doing this without you, our awesome readers, you also get a vote!
Below is a poll for each of the 11 categories for which you can vote. Our readers here will collectively get one vote, and along with each member of our editorial staff, the winner will be chosen. The voting will be open until April 12th, 2022 and the winners will be announced shortly after that.
Congratulations to all of this year’s nominees!
Note: The editorial team wanted to include Paint the Roses as a nominee this year. However, due to a potential conflict of interest, we decided not to nominate it. Yet we would still like to give it a shout-out for being an exceptionally good game.
Note: Whichever game wins Game of the Year will automatically be removed from any of the above categories except Best Production Values. Our reasoning is if a game wins Game of the Year, chances are it should win any of the other categories by default. That just seemed a bit redundant. If a game wins Game of the Year, you know it is really good.
