This Hall of Fame highlights games that are great for use in library collections and library programming.

Only games published 2 to 10 years prior to awarding year can be added to the Hall of Fame to help libraries find new, great games they might not have seen before.

Older classic games might appear in the Classics Hall of Fame. All sorts of games are eligible, including but not limited to card games, board games, video games and role-playing games. The games should include some form of rules-bound play, and should be defined as a game by the game’s creators or publishers.

Platys Classics - Class of 2024

What We Are Looking For

We would love your input about which games to add, but we are also going to use our own discretion. However there are some things that we would love to see:

• Preference will be given to games that can provide a satisfying play in an hour’s time.
• Preference will be given to games that are meant for a range of ages.
• We will not add anything that is meant for a gaming device that is no longer being supported or easily available. Preference will be given to games that are on multiple systems that libraries frequently own.
• Submissions from the creators, and / or publishers of the games will not be considered.
• Preference will be given to games that have a certain level of uniqueness.
