Deutscher Spiele Preis 2000s

DSP 2000-2009

Here are the second 10 years (2000-2009) of games that were awarded the Deutscher Spiele Preis (DSP), which is a prize given to a game considered to be a true “gamer’s game” each year.

Only the first game in the list was actually given the award. The other 9 games show their relative positions based on votes cast. See the official DSP site (German) for more information.

Many games have links to Amazon where you can see pricing and availability.
