Audience Award instead of Critics Award
Unlike the Spiel des Jahres Award, the "Hunter & Cron Award๐ฉ๐ช" is not chosen by critics but by an audience - namely the Patreon Supporters of the two boardgame friends. For the 2016 vintage (Hunter & Cron Patreon Award 2017), this was 145 eligible voters on the cutoff date of Jan. 1, 2017.
Who are Hunter & Cron anyway?
Hunter & Cron are board game enthusiasts and started a YouTube channel in late 2013 where they shared their joy. Both live in Berlin, are in a relationship and each have a son and a daughter. In the meantime, more than 1,000 videos have been created - and more than just the two of them can be seen on the channel. The channel is one of the main influencers among board game connoisseurs & experts in Germany.
Cron then announced a longer break in early 2021. Since then, Hunter continues the channel for now under the name "Hunter & Friends".
All further "Hunter & Cron Award" years
