RECIPIENTS OF THE 2006 INTERNATIONAL GAMERS AWARDS ANNOUNCED!



The International Gamers Awards committee is extremely proud to announce the recipients for the 2006 IGA in the General Strategy category:



In the Multi-Player category, the award goes to Caylus by designer William Attia, and publishsers Ystari Games and Rio Grande Games. King Philip the Fair has decided that a new castle must be built in the humble village of Caylus. Players use their workers to help construct this castle. Around the castle the village is growing fast. By building the castle and developing the village, players earn prestige points. When the castle is finished, the player who has earned the most prestige points wins the game. Caylus is filled with multiple decisions and possibilities. Multiple paths to victory make this a very interesting and challenging game.



In the 2-Player category, the award goes to Twilight Struggle by designers Jason Matthews and Ananda Gupta, and publisher GMT Games. Using a card-driven mechanic that recreates the most critical events of the US-Soviet Cold War, two players representing each empire attempts to exert influence throughout the world in a bid to make their philosophy dominant. Each player must watch closely as the battle for ideology is raged, the Space Race is launched and advanced, and the DefCon track (Defense Condition) monitors the globe's stability. A beautifully-balanced game with multiple strategic levels, Twilight Struggle gets better with each play as further depth is revealed.
