RatCon brought its traditional auction to Berlin Con for the first time in 2019. We hope to be able to implement such a great event again in 2020.
There you can look forward to one or the other treasure.

Berlin Con Awards

There are many board game prizes, but who will reward the people behind the boxes to whom we owe all the great games?
The Berlin Con Awards are a way of honouring the work of those who make our hobby possible: the authors, the publishers and their editors. We pay particular attention to the next generation, because it’s no longer just the established players who dominate the scene. Our hobby is growing dynamically and every year many new authors and publishers succeed in publishing fantastic games and advancing decisive innovations.

For this reason, the Berlin Con Awards will be presented in four categories in 2020:

1. Designer of the Year
2. Publisher of the Year
3. Best New Designer
4. Best New Publisher

The Berlin Con Awards are chosen by a changing international jury of experts consisting of board game bloggers. For each category, the jury nominates 4 persons or teams to be honored for one or more board games. The jury will accept games published in 2019 or 2020 according to the website “boardgamegeek.com”. The winners will then be determined by secret ballot and announced on the opening evening of Berlin Con.

In the year 2020, the jury will consist of two members:

1. Peter Dringautzki (Peat & Alex) – Chairman
2. not yet announced
3. not yet announced
4. not yet announced
5. not yet announced
6. not yet announced
7. not yet announced

We hope to welcome many nominees to the big ceremony on Friday 17.07. in Berlin. The following GameNight offers the chance for many conversations and encounters between visitors, jury, award winners and industry representatives and of course for a lot of fun with our Berlin Con-Library.

Here you can find the nominees for the Berlin Con Awards 2019.
