Going Cardboard

1978 - German Press & Game Makers create the “Spiel des Jahres” (translated in English Game of the Year) award for excellence in board game design.

Settlers of Catan was the board game that showed the variety of board game genres that could be achieved in Europe, mainly Germany and that opened the flood gates in the United States.

Some of the board games talked about in Going Cardboard are ‘Settlers of Catan’, ‘Dominion’.

It was incredible to see that some people totally live and breathe with every area of board games from creating, playing and collecting them.

I was amazed that people collect board games and amass collections of over 1000 board games in certain cases.
