The finalists for the 2011 International Gamers Awards have been announced in both the multi-player and two-player categories, and those finalists are:

Multi-player

• 7 Wonders, by Antoine Bauza (Repos Production)
• Airlines Europe, by Alan R. Moon (Abacusspiele)
• Asara, by Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling (Ravensburger)
• Die Burgen von Burgund, by Stefan Feld (alea)
• Dominant Species, by Chad Jensen (GMT Games)
• Inca Empire, by Alan Ernstein (White Goblin Games)
• K2, by Adam Kałuża (REBEL.pl)
• London, by Martin Wallace (Treefrog Games)
• Navegador, by Mac Gerdts (PD Verlag)
• Troyes, by Alain Orban, Xavier Georges and Sébastien Dujardin (Pearl Games)
• Vinhos, by Vital Lacerda (What's Your Game?)

Two-player

• A Few Acres of Snow, by Martin Wallace (Treefrog Games)
• Battles of Westeros, by Robert A. Kouba (Fantasy Flight Games)
• Earth Reborn, by Christophe Boelinger (Ludically)
• Famiglia, by Friedemann Friese (2F-Spiele)
• What's My Word?, by Joli Quentin Kansil (Gryphon Games)

Games released between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011 were eligible for consideration, but those dates are flexible for titles released in the month immediately before and after the deadline, as can be seen by the inclusion of both A Few Acres of Snow and Battles of Westeros. The winners will be announced in September 2011, and the award ceremony held in the BoardGameGeek booth at Spiel 2011.

For more info on the awards, visit the IGA website. Note that BGG co-owner Scott Alden is an IGA jury member as am I, although I abstained from voting this year due to physician-prescribed rest to treat my Innovation addiction.
