Instead of being a popularity contest, the Diana Jones Award is chosen by a panel of professionals. As a result, both the list of nominations and the final winner are consistently deserving of the attention given, and this year is no exception.
The nominees were:
Catacombs, a board game
Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space, a board game
Fiasco, a roleplaying game
Freemarket, a roleplaying game
These were all worthy nominations. I've played the three RPGs, and am familiar with the board games by reputation. While not all the nominees are my personal favorites, I can easily recognize the merits of them all.
The winner was Fiasco, and I think this was well deserved. It's been one of the most successful games I've played in terms of providing a consistently fun experience.
Congratulations to Jason Morningstar!
