Again, the competition for the follow-up spots was also tight, with Bioshock Infinite edging into second ahead of Battlefield 4. The first person shooter category included some games that were best categorized as “action” games as well, and ARMA III came out on top as our Digital Action / FPS Game of the Year. Our Digital RTS of the Year was a big win for Europa Universalis IV, but the competition for second and third was tight, and won by Company of Heroes 2, and Graviteam Tactics Operation Star, respectively. Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm came second past the post, and Wargame: AirLand Battle ensured that all three titlists had colons in their names. Our Digital Wargame of the Year was certainly a worthy title holder, as Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations pulled in first place over several other acclaimed titles. Our Digital categories were certainly more varied, but the strongest showings here at GrogHeads were the games you’d expect: the wargames.
Second place finishers pick up a Silver Medal.
The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game finished 3d, with a narrow margin over Wings of War WWI. A Distant Plain was second again, showing a strong grognard bias in the overall game category. Our overall Tabletop Game of the Year was The Hunters. As it was, the Wings of War WWI re-issue beat out Merchant of Venus and Battlelore (2d Ed) for the category. We did not include the Designer Edition of Ogre in this category, as we felt is was enough of a new game to warrant inclusion elsewhere some of our readers disagreed. The Tabletop Re-issue / Re-release of the Year, was not without some controversy. With only 3 nominees in the Magazine category, we were only awarding a Gold for the top finish, and Against The Odds Magazine’s game Guns of the Askari clearly earned the title with almost two-thirds of the vote.Īnother fantasy franchise took home the prize in the Tabletop Expansion of the Year, with the Lords of Waterdeep: Scoundrels of Skullport claiming the prize over expansions for Zombicide and Spartacus. The Ogre Designer Edition brought up the third place tail.Ĭompetition in the Tabletop Strategy Game of the Year was a little more heated, with the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game narrowly edging out the much-anticipated Firefly Board Game to take the title. The tabletop world saw nominations into several categories, include Wargames, Strategy Games, Magazine games and scenarios, Expansions, Reprints, and the ever-coveted Overall category.Ĭonsim Press’ The Hunters hammered the competition for the Tabletop Wargame of the Year, with only A Distant Plain, even garnering double digits as A Distant Second.
Our winners in each category are awarded the GrogHeads Readers’ Choice Award Gold Medal
