Cafe del Gatto<\/a>, a family-focused drafting game about cat baristas competing to serve customers drinks, has won this year’s Austrian game of the year prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Bareder from the Austrian Game Academy called Cafe del Gatto a highly successful family game, was a pleasure to touch and look at and had a brisk rhythm and low barrer to entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the game’s transparency offered “a lot of freedom for tactical considerations without being overwhelming”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Schmidt-published game, from Dragon’s Breath co-designer Lena Burkhardt and new designer Julia Wagner, is not yet available in English, although an English version of the rulebook is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children’s game of the year went to Beethupferl<\/a>, a memory and skill game about watering vegetable seedlings, while family game of the year was awarded to Emanuele Briano-designed race game 80 Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crime deduction game Black Stories<\/a> won friends game of the year, and expert game of the year was awarded to Pegasus-publised asymmetric eurogame Merchant’s Cove<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friedemann Friese’s Fancy Feathers<\/a> won card game of the year, while ‘Trend’ game of the year went to Uwe Rosenberg’s Atiwa<\/a>, a game about attracting fruit bats to help develop a small community in Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
