We’re over the moon to share some incredible news from the world of board games:
Faraway has been officially nominated for the 2025 Kennerspiel des Jahres, and Castle Combo has been recommended for the Spiel des Jahres!

What does this mean?

The Spiel des Jahres awards are the most prestigious honors in board gaming, recognizing excellence in game design, innovation, and accessibility. Each year, the jury highlights standouts in three major categories:

• Spiel des Jahres – for accessible, family-friendly games
• Kinderspiel des Jahres – for children's games
• Kennerspiel des Jahres – for more strategic, connoisseur-level experiences

Faraway earning a nomination in the Kennerspiel category places it among the best strategic games of the year. Meanwhile, Castle Combo’s inclusion on the Spiel des Jahres recommendation list confirms what players have been saying all along—it’s fast, clever, and endlessly replayable.

Among Good Company

We’re incredibly proud to see our games recognized alongside amazing titles, particularly Faraway's co-nominees, Endeavor: Deep Sea and Neuland. Being included among such thoughtful and innovative games is an honor we don’t take lightly.
