So, the great majority of the competition playtesting concluded last
weekend. All qualifying games have been playtested at least once, with
the likelier candidates having been playtested multiple times. Most
expansions have been tested at least once, if at all possible. The
noncompeting entries (that is, mine and my collaborators') have been
neglected in favor of the competing entries (all the other ones); I hope
eventually they'll get some attention.
All that remains is testing a couple of edge cases, the judging, and the results writeup. Soon! :)
