I apologize for this, but there will be a slight delay (as you can probably tell) in the posting of the Game Design Showdown entries. I will post them as soon as I get a chance - I've been unable to deal with this or really anything else on my plate for the weekend due to a personal issue...
Relatedly, on a personal note I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I just bought a sweet new ride - a Honda Crosstour - which is really nice. The bad news is that while I was purchasing it, someone saw fit to break into my house and rob it :(
In an effort to replace some of the cash that was stolen, I plan to have a game auction on BoardGameGeek - so if you are interested in buying a game to help me out, watch for an announcement of that auction in the next couple of days.
We do have 11 entries to the GDS this week, and the ones I have read seem pretty cool. Hopefully I'll have them posted before long, and I'll extend the voting deadline to be a week after I get them posted.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
