Congratulations everyone!
To the entrants, reviewers, and of course the winners!

Curious question: Do we actually get to see what the judges
thought about our game? I personally only have two reviews.

Hey, I reviewed every single game within a week! What more do you people want from me? =(

Well actually it would be nice to know why the top 3 at least got their places. You know the standard short blurb as to how it fit perfectly with the theme and followed all the rules and was a pretty damn awesome game as well. (But not as awesome as number two and number one obviously)

Perhaps even those boxquotes that are always fun.

Nope.

I mean I'm not sure, but the last time (Game Chill) we didn't get any thoughts.

I bet it's either skyscraper or astral conjuction
My expectation as well (though I sucked at BOTH GAMES.)


You're not alone. I was doing well with astral conjuction though.
