SETI publishers Czech Game Edition and Germany-based HeidelBÄR Games scored a double win on the night, having also seen their Matúš Kotry-designed title Little Alchemists take home the best children's game award.
The French award focuses on new, expert-level eurogame releases from the previous 12 months which have a high replayability, especially those “whose format does not always allow them to apply for one of the many other current awards”.
SETI's indomitable 2025 awards run also includes the Deutscher Spiele Preis - the biggest community-voted board game award in Germany - Dice Tower Awards for game of the year, best strategy game and best new designer, and the Golden Geek heavy game of the year and thematic game awards.
Forest Shuffle has added to its triumph in the German language Deutscher Spiele Preis last month by winning the Gouden Ludo Flemish family game of the year award.
Woodland-themed tableau-building card game Forest Shuffle has triumphed in this year's Deutscher Spiele Preis, the biggest community-voted board game award in Germany.
Planet Unknown, the tile-laying planetary development and colonisation game from Ryan Lambert and Adam Rehberg, has triumphed in this year's Deutscher Spiele Preis - Germany’s biggest board gaming award.
Voting is open for the Deutsche Spiele Preis, Germany's biggest board gaming award, with winners set to be announced at the Essen Game Fair in October.
