Collection: The Golden Die – Children's Game of the Year

Here you'll find all the children's games in our range that have won the Golden Die in the Children's Game of the Year category. Since 1984, the Swedish competition "Game of the Year" has recognized games that combine play, quality, and fun for children of various ages.

Children's Game of the Year highlights games that are fun, educational, and easy to get started with. To be nominated, games must offer a well-thought-out game idea, clear rules, and high quality in both materials and design. Many winners focus on cooperation, memory, creativity, or problem-solving – always adapted for younger players and families.

Children's games that win the Golden Die are often perfect as a first board game and help children develop important skills through play and social interaction. At the same time, the games are designed to be entertaining for adults playing with children, making them popular choices for family game nights and gifts.

At Dragon's Lair, we gather all our Children's Game of the Year winners in one place to make it easy to find award-winning children's games that have been appreciated by both jury and families over the years. Here you'll find everything from quick and playful games to modern children's game classics that work again and again.
