The International Gamers Awards

Omschrijving

In 2000 heeft Greg Schloesser in samenwerking met de Strategy Gaming Society een aantal mensen uit de hele wereld benaderd voor het opstarten van een nieuwe prijs in de spellenwereld: The Gamers' Choice Award. De mensen die hij benaderd heeft zijn actief in de spellenwereld, bijvoorbeeld als redacteur van een tijdschrift of als webmaster van een internetsite. Ikzelf (Ronald Hoekstra) ben ook gevraagd voor deze jury en heb me dan ook vol overgave gestort op deze taak. Na 20 jaar jurylid geweest te zijn, ben ik in 2020 gestopt. De prijs zal worden toegekend op diverse gebieden. Hieronder zullen de genomineerden en de winnaars in de categorieën multi-player-games en two-player-games worden vermeld. In 2003 is de prijs onafhankelijk geworden van de SGS en heeft een nieuwe naam gekregen: The International Gamers Awards.
