Knizia finally scores - twice! SdJ winners announced

I guess Reiner Knizia has won it all now. Not only did he win the Spiel des Jahres Award with Keltis , he also won Kinderspiel des Jahres with Wer war's? !

What next, will he finish that Cthulhu game and retire?

I kind of liked Ken's blog entry on this comparing Knizia and Susan Lucci finally winning her Daytime Emmy award. Except that Susan is a lot better looking.

Hadn't heard of it till now, so I checked the BGG entry you linked...

Keltis is almost humorously boring looking. At least his kids game has a ghost in it.

Well, Keltis is the re-implementation of Lost Cities. Only now you can play it with more than two people. What is the need for this game though? Do some people have more than one wife to play it with?

It'll be interesting, whether the game now starts to climb the ladder. I think now it lingers around nr. 1600 on BGG.

To me the SdJ = Game to Avoid. I gave Zooloretto a try last year and that's 1 hour of my life I want back.

I disagree totally. Nothing almost or humorous about it. It looks like "please kill me now!!" boring. I would rather try the kiddy game. It looks much more interesting and has a real theme.
