Zauberberg/Magic Mountain, designed by Bernhard Weber and Jens-Peter Schliemann, beat out two games by Wolfgang Warsch and Schmidt Spiele, Also Clever and With Quacks & Co. to Quedlinburg (see "Nominations Announced"). In this cooperative game, players race sorcerers down the mountain in an effort to stay ahead of the witches. Will-o-the-wisps light their path, but can also change their movement. The goal of the game is to get the sorcerers to the bottom of the mountain before the witches do.
