Alliance enjoys hosting the Best Of The Game Trade Awards each year because it fosters the growth of relationships between retailers and helps develop stronger business practices across the gaming industry. The purpose of the Awards is to help share business concepts and ideas in which fellow retailers can learn from and model in their own store. Nominations for the 2015 Awards - with winners selected by their peers and attendees during Alliance's Open House - span five categories: Best Hybrid Game Store, Best Kids Section, Best Renovation Before/After, Best New Release(s) Display, and Best Staff Motivational Program. Below are the winners of the "Golden Meeple", as well as our first "Hall of Fame" inductee! Click Here for a complete list of winners and runner's up recipients.
