My heart is also with Guild! I’m with you all the way, it’s very under appreciated.

All are nice games, but I absolutely love playing Sky Team with my dad.

[@TerrierHalo]

There is almost always a game that stands out to me in the main category and this year I suspect it’s Sky Team. Haven’t played it yet though, haven’t played any of the 2023 in the main category either. So many games, so little time.

In the footsteps of Darwin has for him as well the added value of the cultural aspect: game produced as Darwin could have done it (non treated paper/stitched...) and the super interesting Appendix!

SkyTeam all the way. And now i have to buy GUILD.

[@Flip5ide]

Strange nominees this year, the winner should be Sky Team but at the same time it shouldn't win because it's two player.

[@sanderschippers2708]

I don't care. The games they pick is weird every year.

[@meeple]

They can be a bit odd sometimes.

The Spiel des Jahres is meaningless to me.
