Congratulations to the recipients of the Mensa Select Award for 2015.
Each year, members of Mensa meet over one weekend to play and rate the year’s newest board games. The top five games earn Mensa Select® distinction and may display the Mensa Select seal on their packaging. Look for the Mensa Select seal when purchasing games.
The seal indicates that a game is original, challenging and well designed. Indirectly, it indicates that a game is original and creative in concept, challenging, a good value for the price, easy to comprehend and play, and, above all, fun!
