We are pleased to announce that Dominion has received one of the five Mensa Mind Games® awards for 2009 that were chosen this weekend.

Rio Grande Games’ strategy card game Dominion has received the Mensa Select seal from the well-known society for people with high IQs.

The award was announced at Mensa Mind Games, the organization’s combination gaming convention/awards show, which took place this last weekend in Cincinnati. It was the latest honor in a busy week for Dominion, which also was announced as a nominee for the 2009 Origins Awards this last week at GAMA Trade Show.

The society has given out five awards at Mind Games every year since 1990. In addition to Dominion, this year’s winners include Family Games’ Stratum, Good Company games’ Cornerstone, Gigamic’s Marrakech, and Mad Cave Bird Games’ Tic Tac Ku.

Previous winners include Trivial Pursuit (Genus Edition), Magic: The Gathering, Fluxx, Apples to Apples, and Blokus. Also, for those who have been asking, Rio Grande shipped the reprint of Dominion over a week ago and the games should now be in stores.

We are still on track to release Dominion: Intrigue in early June.

Thanks for your interest in Rio Grande Games.
