Games International
''Computer Games Magazine'' was a monthly computer and console gaming print magazine, founded in October 1988 as the United Kingdom publication ''Games International''.

Essen Feather
The Essen Feather (german: Essener Feder) is an award for German-style board games, given at the Deutscher Spiele Preis ceremony at the ''Spiel'' game fair in Essen, Germany. The award is given to games with well-written rules, as it was felt that too many good games were spoiled by incomprehensible rules. The trophy is a brass goose quill and inkwell on a chessboard.

Deutscher Spiele Preis
__NOTOC__ The Deutscher Spielepreis (, ''German Game Prize'') is an important award for boardgames. It was started in 1990 by the German magazine ''Die Pöppel-Revue'', which collects votes from the industry's stores, magazines, professionals and game clubs. The results are announced every October at the '' Spiel'' game fair in Essen, Germany. The Essen Feather is awarded at the same ceremony. In contrast to the Spiel des Jahres, which tends to be awarded to family games, the DSP is awarded for "gamers' games" with particularly good or innovative gameplay. Although at one point it was not uncommon for the DSP and the SdJ to be awarded to the same game (as was the case for '' The Settlers of Catan'', '' El Grande,'' and ''Tikal'' in the 1990s), since ''Carcassonne'' (2001) only two games have succeeded in winning both awards: ''Dominion'' in 2009 and ''Azul'' in 2018. Winners 1990 - 1991 - 1992 - 1993 - 1994 - 1995 - 1996 - 1997 - 1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
