The Unboxed Awards Results

So, one month of voting, over 100 votes in each category and finally, we have our winners.

So, let’s recap. I hand picked a group of very talented contributors, I asked them to choose a game they played this year which best suited the category. Their choices were then offered to you, the very discerning general public, to vote upon and choose Your Favourite of Our Favourites.

Game of the Year

So, despite my shameless attempt to boost Cosmic Encounters votes by reviewing the game and begging for votes, Dominion still won out. As I said in my review Cosmic was my nomination for Game of the Year, but the general public has spoken and of all our contributors picks Dominion stands tall.

Of course, now comes the really important part, the scores. Each contributor scored 3 points for a 1st place and 1 point for each 2nd place:

Well, draw what conclusions you will from that, but I’d say that I win!!!

Thanks again to absolutely everyone who contributed either by nominating games or voting in the polls. Hopefully these results will give you at least some ideas on what games you might want to try out soon.

Until Wednesday, have fun gaming!
