Re: [piecepack] Good Portmanship Contest



Congratulations to the winners :) I look forward to playing the games soon.
About my own entries, I agree the first one (the port of Merchant of  
Venus) was the most polished. Clark helped with a lot of feedback,  
which I really appreciate. My second entry was done near the end of  
the allowed time and wasn't properly tested. I agree the rules and  
setup are very complicated. The thing is that the only time we  
actually managed to test it I felt it was lots of fun and managed to  
capture the feeling of the original... But I agree it needs lots of  
work...
About the theme change for Merchant of Venus, I just love Fantasy and  
Sci-fi... You won't see me making a western themed game anytime soon ;D
BTW, I had the chance to play Take Off, Eh! (2 players) and found  
it's a fun game. I have not played El Grande so I cannot compare. In  
our game the Queen did move, but not every turn... but I can see it  
could be a problem if most of the crown tiles are in the board  
already...
So, thanks Ron for doing such a great job with the competition, and I  
look forward to playing the games and adding them to BGG :) They may  
attract some new comers to the piecepack world. And please, If you  
coud share more feedback about both my entries off list, I'd like to  
polish them a bit before publishing them in the web...
