Annunciati il 27 Giugno i vincitori dell’edizione 2009 degli Origins Award.
Come da diversi anni a questa parte, notiamo che la giuria giudica più la qualità del prodotto che il suo impatto e diffusione sul mercato. L’elenco dei vincitori è riportato di seguito, diviso per categoria, lasciamo a voi i commenti ma ci permettiamo di fare i nostri complimenti a Ganesha Games che con il suo Songs of Drums and Shakos si è conquistata la vittoria nella categoria Historical Miniature Figure Game Rules a parimetiro con Fields of Glory. Un altro caso di editore italiano che è più apprezzato all’estero che nei nostri lidi…
