About now
I know updates have been slow this year. I know now this site will not be able to keep up to date with all the new awarded games.
I hope I can keep updating every once in a while and won't forget any new awards. My main goal is a list of as many boardgame awards as I can find. Second: to keep it updated.
A lot of awards are not as clear as I thought. Or have websites in laguages I don't understand. I will try to keep everything as correct and complete as possible.
October 2009
____________________________________________________________
Right now I've switched to the 'new' blogger. This will mean: a lot of puzzling for me. I have no idea how everything works and will be puzzling to find out. Over time I'll try to edit all the old posts that are linked in the sidebar so that one day everything looks fine....
Updates on awards will be limited for now.
Let me know if anything goes wrong or ugly!
July 2009
Aaaargh!
For some time now, Blogger has been acting weird. It probably does so, to get me to transfer to the 'new' Blogger. But I just want it to work! And if I transfer to the new Blogger, I'll lose all my info! I'll probably figure it out someday, but for now, the site will just look wacky. Hopefully not for long.
Sorry.

IAGO Hall of Fame
International Abstract Games Organization
From the IAGO website:
"The IAGO Hall of Fame is the place where IAGO honors everything historically significant that involves abstract strategy games. Inductees into the IAGO Hall of Fame are selected by the IAGO Standards Committee based on their historical significance and influence. Their historical significance and influence involves things such as regional and global popularity, longevity, and innovations in play mechanics that spawned entirely new classes of abstract strategy games. In the future, categories for induction will be expanded to cover more than games."
