About the Australian Games Association

Tell me about the …

The Australian Games Association evolved from a conversation over a ‘drink’ during the Toy Fair in 1998. Why don’t we have an Australian Game Of The Year? … one chosen by the Australian games industry rather than the toy industry. Other countries recognise outstanding games and puzzles with awards. Why not Australia?
