Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Congratulations are in order for Jean-Louis Roubira. Dixit, the artistic, storytelling party game has won this year’s Spiel Des Jahres.
The Spiel Des Jahres is the German game-of-the-year award, and is one of the most prestigious awards a game can win.
While I may not agree that Dixit should have won, there’s no doubt that all the games nominated this year where worthy. Toss a bunch of great games in for an award, and only one can win.
