Since 2002, the Major Fun award has been highlighting games that are simple to learn and teach yet are interesting enough to hold the attention of new and serious gamers alike. Games that receive an award are selected during "Games Tastings" – monthly gatherings attended by a random collection of local game-players. The specific criteria the "tasters" are looking for are games that:
- Make people laugh
- Are original, flexible, easy to adapt
- Are well-made, durable, easily stored
- Are easy to understand and teach
