[2] In addition, the Origins Awards are presented by Game Manufacturers Association for outstainding work in the tabletop gaming industry. [3] The Charles S. Roberts Award and the Charles Roberts Awards Hall of Fame recognize excellence in manual, tabletop games, with a focus on conflict simulations. [4]
