Get ready to celebrate the best of board gaming with the Board Game Arena Awards!

Following the success of the first Board Game Arena Awards in 2024, they're back! We invite you to vote for the games released in 2024 that brightened up your evenings.

Why these awards?

We all love to compete on the virtual board, but we also love to come together to discover hidden gems, share strategies, and celebrate our shared passion. The Awards are a chance to highlight the games that marked the year 2024, while giving you the opportunity to choose your favorites!

How does it work?

We have identified the games released on BGA in 2024 that have been most popular with players and divided them into several categories to cater to different tastes:

• Best Casual Game: For those quick, fun laughs and friendly competition.
• Best Regular Game: For games that offer strategic depth and satisfying complexity.
• Best Expert Game: For true puzzles, where only the sharpest minds will reign supreme.
• Best 2-player Game: For intense head-to-head battles.
• Best Animal Theme: For fans of the animal world.

How to vote?

• Visit the dedicated page: https://boardgamearena.com/awards.
• Check out the list of nominated games in each category.
• Select your favorite game in each category and click on it.

Note that you can change your vote at any time or click the "reset" button at the bottom of the page to start over.

We're trying new stuff and balancing of votes:

The main difference between this year and last year is that there are only 4 games in each category.

To vote in a category, you must have played all 4 nominated games at least once before the voting ends. So it's not too late to play them!

You can choose to vote in all categories or only in the ones that interest you.

It's your turn to play! Participate in the election of the best board games of 2024 and make your voice heard!

If you don't know some of the nominated titles, don't hesitate to discover them! The Board Game Arena Awards are the perfect opportunity to discover new games that could become your favorites.

VOTING ENDS ON FEBRUARY, 2nd 2025 AT 1 PM (UTC+1)

May the best games win!
