Greetings, cogs and sprockets! Gizmet Gameworks has just released a new game, Coalescence, and I'm throwing a contest to celebrate.

A contest? Awesome! How does it work?

Coalescence is a star system themed abstract strategy game, so I decided to make this a star system themed contest. Smart, right? Anyway. Below, you will see an image composed of pictures of nine stellar objects:



What I'd like you to do is identify all nine of those stars, nebulae, galaxies, or whatever they are, and email them to coalescence-contest@gizmet.com along with your BGG username (if you like) and the words "coalescence contest" in the subject line. If you could list them in order, upper left to lower right, that would be great. The first person to get an email to me with all the correct answers wins!

Contests have prizes, right? What do I get?

Ah yes, excellent question. Naturally, the winner will receive a copy of the game. But is that exciting enough? Well, it's pretty exciting, but just to blow out the excite-o-tron, you will not only receive a free copy of Coalescence, but we'll also throw in a copy of our other tubular abstract strategy title, Honeypot! That's like forty bucks worth of games, right there. For free! Nice, right? Stars and bees - who could ask for more?

Sweet! Is there a deadline?

Well, I picked out the images so that they wouldn't be too terribly hard to figure out, but if no correct entries arrive in, say, two weeks' time or so, I'll call it there, and mail off a couple of consolation tubes of Coalescence to the people who had the most right. Sound good? Good!

So, let's get the star search started. Thanks, and have fun!
