Magic: The Gathering is one of a number of game designers and creators that took home awards for their work. GAMA and the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design announced the winners of the 2024 Origins Awards during an exclusive ceremony this past week. These awards are given to retail games (no crowdfunding only games) that were released within the past year. These awards have been held annually since 1975 and acknowledge some of the best work in gaming.

Awards like these are not only a great opportunity to recognize work that pushes the industry forward, but also a way for the community to discover creators they may not have yet heard of. The Origins Awards showcase that big names like Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons still put out quality products alongside small and indie creators.

Congratulations to 2024’s winners!
