Japan Boardgame Prize 2011
We announce the 10th Japan Boardgame Prize! It is divided into two categories, namely, U-more Award and Voters' Selection.
We award a good game for beginners and families, named "U-more Award". The jury consists of seven administlators of our family gaming society. After 2 months of discussion and selection, we decided "Pig 10" as game of the year and two nominees.
U-more Award - Game of the Year:
Nominee

And Voters' Selection: 423 boardgamers from 38 prefectures took part in the award, in cooperation with many boardgame circles and shops. They selected upto five favorites from a list of 264 titles, which were sold in Japanese market within the last one year. We added up for each voter 5 points to the first favorit, 4 points to the second ... 1 point to the fifth.
As a result "7 Wonders" won the Japan Board Game Prize 2011. It has already won many boardgame prizes since last year around the world. In Japan it is highly rated, too.
