Camel Up has won the 2014 Spiel des Jahres award, Goliath Games has recently released three new games for kids, and Game Salute has announced Vici will be out next week.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue expansions make the original game even better.

Hanabi is the latest winner of the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award, announced earlier this week. The Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year in Germany) was selected by a panel of ten journalists who cover the game industry. Created in 1978, the award intends to highlight the best games for a widespread German audience, and winning the award can drive a game's sales to 300,000 to 500,000 copies or more over its lifetime (source: Wikipedia).
