The authors Mín & Elwen spoke up after the annoncement: “Thank you so much! We are really happy to have received this award. It means a lot to us, especially because it comes from the players! This gives us a lot of energy and motivation to continue designing – nothing can make a designer happier than when people have fun playing their game. It is an honor!”

As a cultural award, the Deutscher Spielepreis aims to reflect the opinion of the community, so that small publishers, inexpensive games and games with a special touch also receive attention. The winner of the award is determined by a survey of well-informed gamers as well as on the basis of the individual votes of important German, Austrian and Swiss game advice centers and game circles, the leading game retailers, game critics and experts.
