More about The “Goblin Magnifico” Award
“The Award “Goblin Magnifico” is born with the aim to select a shortlist of boardgames for gamers, chosen by gamers themselves. We are speaking about demanding games… but still games!
This award is carried on by La Tana dei Goblin – the greatest Italian boardgames community and the biggest reality in our country, thanks to dozens of affiliated associations along our national territory, devoted to the diffusion of gaming culture. How beautiful would it be having a yearly list of “Magnifici”? Games that particularly stand out among the huge annual multitude of boardgames?
Something thought for gamers community. Of course there will be a winner, the “Magnifico”, chosen by a selected panel of judges, and another one, “Scelto dai Goblin” (chosen by Goblins), selected by popular vote by La Tana dei Goblin online community registered users.
This is the Goblin Magnifico mission!
For this purpose there is a panel of judges which selected and tested games and games for months.
But even the popular vote has his own relevance.
Will the users choose the same game chosen by the judges? What if the “Scelto dai Goblin” turned out to be the same as “Magnifico”?
It doesn’t matter. What is really important is to give useful information. To speak about games. To try games and to share gaming experiences. And last but not least to play and let people play.
The aim of Goblin Magnifico is not only to make a list of final candidates but mainly to give the people the opportunity to play those candidates as well. What’s the purpose of a game if it’s not played?
So, beginning with Modena “Play”, the most important italian boardgames fair, there will be a big demonstrative area dedicated to the selected games. Dozens of tables with demonstrators for each game.
This initiative has been thought in fact as a “Road Show” all along Italy: where there will be a games fair, there you’ll find Goblins playing with you the selected games, showing the Goblin Magnifico and the other finalists.”
We would like to congratulate all the nominees, designers and publishers, and we would like to thank Tana dei Goblin for that recognition.
