Mensa Recommended Games
Mensa Recommended Games ist eine Empfehlungsliste für Brett- und Kartenspiele, die einmal im Jahr von dem Verein Mensa International bzw. der amerikanischen Sektion von Mensa im Rahmen der Preisverleihung der Mensa Select Games veröffentlicht wird. Die durch eine Jury zusammengestellte Liste enthält Spieletitel, die zwar nicht den begehrten Spielepreis gewonnen haben, aber trotzdem empfohlen werden.
Eingeführt wurde der Preis bei den Mind Games 2013. Jedes Jahr werden 10 bis 15 Titel gekürt, die das Label „Recommended by American Mensa“ tragen dürfen.
