I love awards, and the chance to recognize great games, that encourage the hobby grow in innovation and excellence. So the question that I have is: Do you agree with the outcome of the Origins awards? What choices would you of made? For me, I think the category of best collectible card game should be changed or erased, because lets face it, Magic the Gathering will never see a an competitor in this area. Living Card games, or games of that ilk? yes, but CCG's.. doubt it. The dedicated fan-base is just too large, and Magics impact on conventions is too large.
Sheriff of Nottingham being the winner? No doubt it is a good game, with great components (The bags snap open really good ... or so I hear). But at its heart, it is a REPRINT of 'Robin Hood' published in 2011 by Galapagos Jogos. I could be wrong, but I really think there were really good games published over the last year that we did not have to rely on the winner which is a reprint. But, have your say in the comments below. Until next time, keep on playing!
