NEWS: Congratulations to
Haze Islands and
Charles Ward for winning
2016 Print and Play Game of the Year, and managed to sweep nearly all of the main categories! Also, congratulations to
Justin Blaske for a fantastic showing with
Mint Works the overall highest rated game and winner of the
Best Beyond PnP Game as well as
Best Written Rules. I also want to extend congratulations to all the Runner Ups in all the categories. There were a number of categories that were very close
There were a ton of great games entered this year and I hope that next year the contest continues to grow. I put a lot of work into building these pages for the contest and designing an algorithm that would be fair to all games, whether they got a lot of ratings or a few. I'm happy to say that the algorithm produced results in line with my expectations after seeing all the ratings, and Haze Islands is definitely deserving of its recognition. If you would like to see an aggregate of all the ratings, I'm making the
Ratings Summary Report public. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments on the awards. I will be in touch with the winners to distribute prizes soon. Again, congratulations and thank you for making the inaugural PnP Game Design Awards such a success!
