About now III



Last year I've started work on Bordspelmania.eu. And I've been slow - very, very slow - on anything related to boardgameawards. So I'll just stop for now.

I hope to get all the information on BGA to Bordspelmania at some point. In Dutch, but hopefully in English as well.

For now I recommend the boardgamegeek wiki.

About now II

I know updates have been slow this year. I know now this site will not be able to keep up to date with all the new awarded games.

I hope I can keep updating every once in a while and won't forget any new awards. My main goal is a list of as many boardgame awards as I can find. Second: to keep it updated.

A lot of awards are not as clear as I thought. Or have websites in laguages I don't understand. I will try to keep everything as correct and complete as possible.
