The winners of the 2011 International Gamers Awards, general strategy categories, have been announced. The civilization-building game 7 Wonders (designed by Antoine Bauza, published by Asmod�e Editions and Repos Productions) won the IGA for the multi-player category. In the two-player category, A Few Acres of Snow (designed by Martin Wallace, published by Treefrog Games) took the honors. This deck-building game is set during the long conflict between the French and the British over the land that is now known as Canada.
Congratulations to the teams responsible for both games. 7 Wonders is an excellent game which also won a 2011 Readers' Choice Award and was my pick for the #2 card game published in 2010. I have not yet played A Few Acres of Snow, but Wallace is an accomplished designer and there's little doubt I will rate the game highly when I do play it.
