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!

Typically the contrarian in me would shy away from casting 3 votes to a mega-hit like Ocarina but it's just that damn good. I didn't play it until probably a decade after its release and didn't think it could hold up to the years of hype. I was happily mistaken. Total classic.

Love Mario Kart 8. Could not get into Ocarina of Time.

I cast max votes for an excellent large-scale open-world lite-RPG adventure, and also threw three votes at Puzzle League, which is quite a nice execution of the series/subgenre, even after I just got finished saying last week or the week before that I prefer the licensed skinned-over versions of this series. There you have it.
