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!

Gotta give Opoona some love—a weird-ass, Koei-published, former-Dragon-Quest-team-designed, Sakimoto-scored RPG gem.

I just voted for Soma here. It was fun, interesting, and has a nice twist to it, too. Play it. It’s short-ish and fun.

Didn't know any of that! Very cool.

Give it a try if you can get your hands on a copy! This is the kind of RPG that was right at home on Wii, in contrast to the ones that tried too hard to be big-budget current-gen console titles and just ended up looking like chop.

I have such a big backlog but I kinda want to try opoona, it looks adorable and really cool.
