The International Gamers Awards is extremely proud and excited to announce the recipients for the 2005 IGA (General Strategy category), a set of awards which recognizes outstanding strategy board games in several categories. 

This year's recipient for the outstanding General Strategy Game, Multi-player category, is:

TICKET TO RIDE: EUROPE

Alan R. Moon
Days of Wonder

 

 

 

Ticket to Ride: Europe is the highly touted sequel to Moon’s Ticket to Ride, and moves the track building from the United States to EuropeUsing the basic clever ideas from the original, this new version adds much more than a new map. Players must develop their railroad networks through tunnels, can build stations to connect through other player’s lines, and contend with many short segments that still take a full turn to complete. While families can certainly enjoy this game, strategy gamers also appreciate the simple yet subtly strategic aspects in the complete design.  No one knows train games better than Alan Moon, and he proves it once again in this excellent design. 


This year's recipient for the General Strategy Game, 2-Player category, is:
 
WAR OF THE RING
 
Marco Maggi, Francesco Nepitello & Roberto Di Meglio
Nexus / Fantasy Flight / Phalanx
