I’m so impressed with the time and effort you put into making that week so fulfilling for those kids. I’ve often thought that such a game design workshop would be a good summer camp idea. I wish I had the time and energy to pull it off.

One point that has to be made–and that is difficult to quantify in your study, Joe–is that game designing and game releases often come in clumps. With first-time designers winning SdJ, for example, it is difficult to determine how many post-SdJ designs were actually created after winning the award. More likely, most of them had already been created earlier and were finally brought to the attention of publishers after the designer’s received the jury’s attention. I think I read somewhere that Donald X Vaccarino originally presented 40+ game designs to Rio Grande games, which signed only Dominion to start? I’m still getting games published now that I completed years ago, before I had contact with publishers and my game designs were piling up.

This is a great example of why the OG review format (where other people chime in with extra comments) is so useful.
After reading Luke and Dale’s opinion, I thought “I need to get this game ASAP”. Then after reading Joe and Dan’s comments – “Ok, I don’t need this after all.”
It’s only an Adlung game, so you guys havent’s saved me a lot of money, but still – thanks.

To Andrea Ligabue: “Of course with some more play-test the game could be better, but this seems to be the main problem of our times” –> I have not played this game yet, but are you actually saying that most of the game on the market lack a serious playtest? Because I do not think this is the case, from my (limited) experience with publishers.
