Si sono conclusi gli Origins Award 2008 con la vittoria di Starcraft the Board Game e Age of Empires 3 nella categoria giochi da tavolo "storici". Seguiteci per la lista completa.
Gli Origins Awards vengono assegnati dalla Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design durante l'Origins International Game Expo ai migliori lavori nell'industria del gioco. I premi vengono assegnati per i giochi pubblicati nell'anno precedente. Il riconoscimento (oramai giunta alla 34 edizione, annuale) vede tra i giurati addetti ai lavori del settore che coprono più o meno ogni categoria (autori, illustratori, editori), in pratica persone in grado di garantire una buona valutazione e sopratutto bontà dei prodotti che vincono.
