Spiel des Jahres redirected from 1993 SdJ nominees

The Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year), the most prestigious award for board and card games, is awarded annually by a jury of German game critics. Since 1989 the Kinderspiel des Jahres (Children's game of the Year) has also been annually awarded. Since 2011 the Kennerspiel des Jahres for more complex games is also annually awarded.
