Dorfromantik - The Boardgame wins "Spiel Des Jahres" Award
Dorfromantik - The Boardgame continues the award-winning streak of its digital counterpart!
We are super happy to report that our Boardgame partners, authors Michael Palm, Lukas Zach, and publisher Pegasus Spiele have gone and done it!
For the first time a board game adaptation of a video game has won the coveted "Spiel des Jahres" Award, which is one of the most important awards in the board game sphere. Dorfromantik thus follows in the footsteps of well-known board games such as Settlers of Catan and Carcasonne.

What's Next?
So glad you asked! There is a bunch of stuff going to happen on the board game side of things! First of all, there will be a "Specialist Store" Edition, which is going to contain a Mini-Expansion "The big Mill" which comes with two new cards and a Mill display piece, in addition to the base game.
If you already own Dorfromantik - The Boardgame, no worries! The Mini-Expansion will be available stand-alone as well! Planned Release for these is in August (Though international releases may need a bit more time).
But that is not all! check this out!
Dorfromantik - The Duel will bring a competitive twist to your favourite board game! Vaguely based on Concepts like our Monthly Mode, two teams will play against each other with the same tiles, building their own little worlds, while trying to trump the other team's score! With two new kinds of Tasks in Double- and All-Around-Tasks, which can also be used in the base game, as well as two additional modules for additional Interaction and challenges, Dorfromantik has never been better on cardboard!
If you plan to visit the SPIEL board-game convention in Essen later this year, you better make sure to play it!
What about the video game?
We are cooking a lot of things right now. Some of it Dorfromantik-related, some not.
As we said in April, we are well-aware of your various requests, especially for additional platforms. We hope to have some exciting news for you at a later point in time this year. For now, let's celebrate the board game just a little bit, though. 😉
Thank you for your continued support, as always! 💙💛
