Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.

The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming later this year.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.

• You have 6 total votes to distribute.
• You can only select up to 3 options.
• You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
• NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
• The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.

EXAMPLES

• You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
• If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
• If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).

This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!

If you have questions, ask before voting!

I gave a vote to Deja Vu, even though it’s no Shadowgate, it’s still fun and interesting. And What Remains of Edith Finch, for being wonderful and for sticking in my memory to this day...I still think about some of the scenes in that game and it’s been years since I played it.

Full marks to Scorch, one of my earlier party game memories. Second place, continuing the party game theme, to Rock Band 2, which was the apex of band game fun. Also tossed a vote to Deja Vu, even though it's no Shadowgate.

What remains of Edith finch was so good the butcher scene was just wowzer. Easily throwing 3 votes at that and nothing else
