Yesterday, the Spiel des Jahres jury announced the winners of their three awards.  The big award (the SdJ) goes to JinxO, a party game from Martin Ang.  It beat out the other two nominated games, Cozy Stickerville and Morty Sorty Magic Shop.

The winner of the Kennerspiel (for “connoisseur” games) is Rebirth, from Reiner Knizia.  This gives Knizia an SdJ triple crown of sorts, as he had previously won the SdJ for Keltis and the Kinderspiel for Whoowasit?.  The other nominated games were Boss Fighters QR and Moon Colony Bloodbath.

Finally, the Kinderspiel for best children’s game went to Mooki Island, by Florian Sirieix, emerging victorious over Boo Party and Verflixt Verzaubert.

Congratulations to all the winners!
