For the second time we awarded our annual Most Popular New Game Award at Spiel. This year the awards went to Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen for their game Heat: Pedal to the Metal!

Congratulations to the winner Heat: Pedal to the Metal and designers Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen and the whole team behind creating this game!

How is the winner of the Award determined?

The popularity of a game is determined as follows: we looked at the unique users that logged at least one play of a game. The new game that was logged by the most unique users, Heat: Pedal to the Metal in this case, won. This means it doesn’t matter how many times a user played the game, or how many people were in the game.
