Re: FINAL REPORT -- 6th Piecepack Design Contest: Group Projects

["Benedict" <boycat_oh@...>]

Congratulations to Jeb and Ian on their win - I am looking 
forward to reading the rules of their game, as well as seeing 
what they come up with for the next contest.

Kudos to Clark for a job well done - with the large number of 
'heavy' games entered in the contest it must have been quite the 
effort.  I enjoyed the final report - it was fascinating, and now I am 
very keen to see all of the other games.

Big thanks to Karol - she does an amazing behind the scenes 
job during the contests.

I enjoyed the challenge of working with people on games (even 
given the challenges of doing so via email and fax).  I apologize 
for the fact that the rules to Magistratum were a touch obtuse 
(and that 5 hour first game - ouch!), so Brad and I will be working 
to improve them, as well as add more diagrams and perhaps a 
more substantial example of play.  Likewise, the Schoessow 
brothers and I will be working on the rules to City Council in 
order to make some improvements prior to submission to 
piecepack.org.
