Five FFG titles have been nominated for the annual Dice Tower Gaming Awards

We at Fantasy Flight Games would like to thank the staff at the Dice Tower for their support and recognition; five FFG titles have been nominated across six categories for Dice Tower Gaming Awards!

For those who might be unaware, the Dice Tower is a board and card game podcast “dedicated to getting folks to learn about the wide world of exciting new board games.” Since 2006, Tom Vasel and his staff have worked hard to make the Dice Tower one of the most popular sources of reviews in the hobby, and we at FFG are proud to receive this acknowledgement.

An honor to be nominated

According to the Dice Tower website, the annual Dice Tower Gaming Awards were conceived as a way to:

     
• Encourage new developments and innovations in the board game industry.
     
• Promote board and card games to a larger audience.
     
• Award the best games in different categories released each year.
     
• Present a slate of games with wide appeal from a variety of genres.
     
• Point out games that are simply fun!
