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.
