The Dukes, Alex and Sean, have such a divergent taste in games that they seldom agree on games. So when they both think a game is truly exceptional, it is worthy of special recognition. Below you will find the games that the Dukes have reviewed and both rated a 6 out of 6 on their rating system – these Boxcars Award Recipients are truly fantastic games that the Dukes can’t recommend enough!
