All games of the "Hunter & Cron Patreon Award 2018" list 🇩🇪 2026

We have clearly listed and compared the list with all games of the audience award "Hunter & Cron🇩🇪 2018". In 2018, unlike 2017, the award was no longer given in 17 different categories, but only 10. For each category, 10 games were nominated by Hunter & Cron – the audience or Patreon supporters then voted for their favorites.

The Hunter & Cron Patreon Award 2018 Winners

2 YouTube videos for nominations & announcement of winners

Audience Award instead of Critics Award

Unlike the Spiel des Jahres Award, the "Hunter & Cron Award🇩🇪" is not chosen by critics but by an audience – namely the Patreon Supporters of the channel. For the 2017 cohort (Hunter & Cron Patreon Award 2018), this was 366 eligible voters on the cutoff date of Jan. 1, 2018.

Who are Hunter & Cron anyway?

Hunter & Cron are german 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

The Hunter & Cron Award has been awarded since 2017. Until 2019, it was still called the Hunter & Cron Patreon Award. We have listed for you both across all years and separately by year, you can find the year overview at the bottom of the page.

More info can be found on the official website of the "Hunter & Cron Awards".

    Floh am Po

    Players engage in a holiday-themed roll and movement game for kids, where fleas cling to the fur of large wooden dogs. Each player has their own dog and aims to reach the finish line first, with more fleas increasing a dog's speed. Players roll colored dice, hoping to have fleas jump from other dogs to their own. Expanded rules are also included.
