This is a bit late, since I've been out of town, but I hope it's never too
late to offer congrats to the winners, and kudos to all who got it together
to enter a game. I didn't get to play all the entries in the course of
helping out the Port Authority, but I really enjoyed the ones I did play. I
particularly think Shopping Mall is clever, albeit a little too short to
really take advantage of its innovations. I really like the Settlers of
Catan card game, so I was kind of skeptical about CoN, but it's really tight
and a nice game. I think the game that surpised me most was PubsCrawl
(spelling probably wrong) - I *really* don't enjoy Senet, so again I was
kind of skeptical, but the clever modifications make it a really enjoyable
light game to play in social situations or with kids (that was my feedback
Ron cited in the wrap-up, about the possibility of removing or changing the
theme so it's more kid-friendly). Oh, and Clark, I didn't get to play TOE,
but we about fell on the floor laughing just reading your rules. :->
In any case, well done everyone!
Marty
