Настольные игры: BoardGamer.ru

На днях стали известны номинанты на премию Dice Tower Award — 2011. В этом году произошли небольшие изменения. Во-первых, на звание лучшей игры года выдвинуто не 5 настолок, а целых 10 (это сделано из-за того, что в 2011 году появилось достаточно много хороших игр). Во-вторых, появились две новые номинации: "лучшая оцифрованная игра" (для игр под iOS и для компьютеров) и "лучшая тематическая игра".

Среди всех претендентов будут выбраны самые-самые лучшие игры. Сделано это будет коллегией жюри из 40 человек, в которую входят настольщики со всего мира (включая вашего покорного слугу). Победители будут названы в начале июля.
