You need to answer the question on the bottom of page 3 to continue through the contest. It worked fine with IE8.
Thanks for the contest.

I like this one--a clever way to learn about the game, even though I didn't get a perfect score like I usually did with the "answer trivia questions about the rulebook" ones.

Seconded. I might have looked into this game more if it was the usual contest style, as I've been looking into block games in general, but this "demo" definitely put this game firmly on my radar. I'd love to see more like this!
15/18 thanks to a poor early decision. So close to 6 entries!

Really fun contest! I liked how it explained things as it went along. Probably the most fun contest I've seen on BGG. Thanks!

I liked that contest - a good way to demonstrate the game, and give you a taste as to whether you'd like playing it.

I did really rubbish on this-- I'm not going to share my score, that's how bad I did-- but in doing so, I learned something about the game, and how to play it well. I liked that a lot. Not as much, you know, as I would like to have done better at it, but still enough that I thought I'd comment on it here.

My favourite competition yet on BGG. Much more interactive than the normal "read the rulebook" fare, I learned quite a bit about the system, particularly on how diceless combat is handled, but also on the importance of maneouvre (and more importantly out-maneouvre) and deception. Good stuff.

12 out of 18... not bad for having little idea of what I was doing.
