Essen Feather

Essen Feather

The Essen Feather (German: "Essener Feder") is an award for German-style board games, given at the Deutscher Spiele Preis ceremony at the "Spiel" game fair in Essen, Germany. The award is given to games with well-written rules, as it was felt that too many good games were spoilt by incomprehensible rules.

The trophy is a brass goose quill and inkwell on a chessboard.
