We announce the 13th Japan Boardgame Prize! It is divided into two categories, namely, U-more Award and Voters' Selection.
We award a good game for beginners and families, named "U-more Award". The jury consists of seven administlators of our family gaming society. After 3 months of discussion and selection, we decided "Speed Cups" as game of the year and two nominees.

And Voters' Selection: 313 boardgamers from 40 prefectures took part in the award, in cooperation with many boardgame circles and shops. They selected upto five favorites from a list of 216 titles, which were sold in Japanese market within the last one year. We added up for each voter 5 points to the first favorit, 4 points to the second ... 1 point to the fifth.
