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!

Players: 2 Time: 30 to 60 minutes
Description: Ante Portas is a 2 player card game about the campaign of Hannibal against Rome. You have to use your cards to defeat your enemy. The game is assimetrical as the two player have different option for the use of the cards, so playing one or other side is a different playing experience. The game is card driven with a strong bluffing element.

About the gameplay:
Every card has a Roman and a Carthagian part and the players can use only one part, but the card goes to the other player after use.
Each card can be used as an Event, army or other special use depending on your side. Marching time for the Carthagians to move your army or morale/money for the Romans to keep your Empire together. Your choices will decide the faith of your Empire.
It has only 20 Event cards so its very quick, but there is the possibility to deeper startegy and tactics.
