The game of the year 2017 is called Kingdomino and was published by Pegasus Spiele Verlag. It was developed by Bruno Cathala. So if you want to play analogue again or keep your children busy with a classic tabletop, then this new version of Domino might be just the thing for you and your family. I have also listed all other games of 2017 and the nominees including a link to the Amazon product page.
Chapter in this post:
Kingdomino by Bruno Cathala is Game of the Year 2017
Kingdomino is based on the principle of dominoes, the game that is played with rectangular stones on which point values are printed. Kingdomino, however, is about placing matching stones in such a way that your own "kingdom" is enlarged. The lands also have to be properly planned so that at some point a stone or a playing plate can no longer be laid out. Game fun with strategy.

Reviews on Amazon
On the Amazon product page for Game of the Year 2017, there are currently only 5-star reviews. Kingdomino is described as ideal for children and their parents; for game evenings, be it the perfect start and / or end. Different game modes bring variety and the random allocation of the tiles ("dominoes") calls for strategy. All previous buyers seem to agree with the jury.
