Thanks Brad,
 
   It was exciting to win, especially as I thought some of the other games
seemed very good! I'll now ask you a question I asked Ron; have you tried
the variation I mentioned at the end of the rules? I came up with this at
the last minute in an attempt to utilize the tile numbers somehow, but I
didn't include it in the regular rules because I suspected it may clutter
the game up more than is worthwhile for what it adds. I would be interested
in hearing your opinion if you have tried it both ways.
 
-Mike

Congratulations to Michael!!  I have to say I totally agree with 
Ron's judgement -- Alien City was also my personal #1 pick, closely 
followed by Ley Lines as my #2 pick.  By the way, Ron, thanks for 
publishing all of the entries before judging; it was nice to have a 
look at all of the entries early.  I was sorely tempted to post my 
own opinions on them all during the judging interval, but I 
definitely didn't want to taint your opinion in any way!  Now I see 
it wouldn't have mattered. :)

Ok, I have to know -- What were all the technicalities?  I don't 
think I can see any obvious rule-breaking in any of them....

later,
Brad/tempus42.
