2015 Winners

We played a lot of games in 2015 at ENT. Nearly three times as many as 2014! We held an almighty vote to find out which games were your favourites.

There were 9 different categories to vote in: Family, Miniatures / Wargame, Co-operative, Card Game, Push Your Luck, Worker / Tile Placement, Bluffing, Set Collection and Strategy.

The game that was the most popular overall received the accolade of Golden Axe 2015 at our end of year award ceremony.
