As for oversea game awards, it’s really hard for us to get the latest games so we can only judge those we have. We hope in the year of 2011, more and more oversea companies pay attention to Chinese board game industry and introduce their games to Chinese board game lovers. There are still a lot of problems need to be fixed in China, such as counterfeit games, copycat games… But if you don’t step in, your products won’t be taken care of. An official channel to purchase and protect oversea games is really a necessary in China right now. If you want to know more about Chinese board game industry, you can consult us by emailing to: media@boardgame-china.com.

We would also like to help the Chinese board game companies to go aboard. If you want to be the publisher of Chinese games, you can also contact us and we will build a bridge for you. We believe in board game industry’s future in China and all over the world!

The Board Game Carnival and WZY 2010 Board Game Awards Ceremony were widely reported in mainstream Chinese gaming medias, including Donews.com, Duowan.com, Tom Games, MSN Game Channel, Bei Qing Online, 52PK.com, Cwebgame.com etc. We would like to thank all the game portals who are willingly to promote board game industry in China.
