Hall of Fame

The Dice Tower is proud to announce the Dice Tower Hall of Fame for board and card games.

Each year in August, when the Dice Tower awards are presented, the Dice Tower staff will vote on games to be added to the Hall of Fame.

Games in the Hall of Fame

  • Must be at least ten years old
  • Must have a credited designer and publisher (not public domain)
  • Must be important to the hobby of board games in terms of quality of design and/or impact on gaming

We realize that there are hundreds of other amazing games that did not make this list, and more deserving games will be added each year as we analyze them and their impact on the hobby.  Congratulations to all these games, and we look forward to the Dice Tower Hall of fame growing as more excellent games are brought in upcoming years.

To that end, we would like to introduce you to our initial slate of 110 games, along with their designer and year of release.
