Kinderspiel des Jahres[edit]The Kinderspiel des Jahres is awarded every year to the best children's game by a jury of German game critics. This award is to children's games what the Spiel des Jahres is to family games. 2001 was the first year that the Kinderspiel des Jahres was officially awarded. Prior to that year, it was the Sonderpreis 'Kinderspiel' (Special Prize for Best Children's Game). Since the intent behind both awards is the same, it is customary to refer to the 1989–2000 Sonderpreis winners as having won the Kinderspiel des Jahres. Year | Winner | Designer(s) | Publisher |

ENnie Awards[edit]The annual ENnie Awards (previously known as the Gen Con EN World RPG Awards) are annual, fan-based awards for role-playing game products and publishers hosted at Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana. The name of the award is derived from the EN World web site that hosted the awards from their inception in 2001 until 2018, and retains the name, although is no longer part of EN World.[11] The ENnies were created by Russ Morrissey and Eric Noah and were run and owned by Morrissey until 2018.[12] Origin Awards[edit]The Origins Awards are American awards for outstanding work in the game industry. They are presented by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design at the Origins Game Fair on an annual basis for the previous year, so (for example) the 1979 awards were given at the 1980 Origins. The categories for the Origins award can vary from year to year, and there is not a 'Game of the Year' per se. Game Similar To TetrisThe Origins Award is commonly referred to as a Calliope, as the statuette is in the likeness of the muse of the same name. Academy members frequently shorten this name to 'Callie.' References[edit]- ^'Games Magazine'. Gamesmagazine-online.com. Retrieved 31 July 2012.
