A Tweet-length (140-character) description of your game. Word Count: The word count of your game’s text, not including optional supplemental materials. Should be 3,000 words or less, but if you’re over by a little (less than 100), we’re not going to split hairs.

The word count of your game’s text, not including optional supplemental materials. Should be 3,000 words or less, but if you’re over by a little (less than 100), we’re not going to split hairs. Eligibility: If you are submitting a game for review but are not eligible to win (because you were a member of the secret advisory cabal this year, because your game is significantly longer than the 3,000 words, because you ended up writing a game that’s not about Shakespeare, etc.), please mention that explicitly . You’re definitely still welcome to participate in the reviewing process, but you can’t compete for the crown. Please opt out on your own so I don’t feel the pressure to disqualify games (I said I wouldn’t and don’t want to).

You’re definitely still welcome to participate in the reviewing process, but you can’t compete for the crown. Please opt out on your own so I don’t feel the pressure to disqualify games (I said I wouldn’t and don’t want to). Early Review: Now closed. Reviewing info will be posted on Monday.

Remember that submitting your game means that you are honor-bound to participate in the reviewing process, reading 3-4 games by other designers and recommending one to be considered for the overall winner of Game Chef 2011. You may end up being assigned games that are not eligible to win. That’s fine! Please be prepared to review them anyway, but only recommend an eligible game.

You will be assigned games to review and be given some brief instructions for doing so on July 25th and will have until July 30th to submit your recommendation.

If you are not submitting your game, for whatever reason, but are willing to be an alternate reviewer in the case of someone being unable to do their duty, please also let me know below.

If you have any questions, please ask them here or in one of the stickied question threads on the Game Chef forum.

I will repost all games and descriptions on this page, to acknowledge that they have been received.
