Mayfair Games‘ Pack & Stack, designed by Bernd Eisenstein, has achieved recognition with a Major Fun Award. Major Fun Awards are given to games and people that bring people fun, and to any organization managing to make the world more fun through its own personal contributions, and through the products it has managed to bring to the market.
The Major Fun Awards program as been active for eight years and was created by Bernie DeKoven, an educator, game reviewer and game designer for the past 40 years. His vision for the award was to identify and recognize games that have clear and comprehensive rules that can be read in 5-15 minutes, play in under an hour, are suitable for a wide audience, and are fun enough to make people laugh and want to play again.
This is the third award for Pack & Stack; it has also received the 2009 BoardGamer.ru Children’s Game of the Year and the 2009 Vuoden Perhepeli, Family Game of the Year. Additionally it was a 2009 Arets Familiespill (Family Game of the Year, Norway) nominee and a 2009 Spiel des Jahres Recommendation.
