FallCon - A Cornucopia of Gaming

Happy Canada Day everyone!

And what better day to announce our list of semi-finalists in the 2010 Canadian Game Design Award?

We had a total of 18 truly fantastic submissions. The competition was fierce but in the end, the first round judges decided to select the following 8 designs for the next round of playtesting (in no particular order):

• Graeme Jahns - The Great Pyramid
• Orin Bishop  - Argo
• Jay Cormier & Sen Lim - Jungle Jam
• Roberta Taylor - Octopus' Garden
• Emmanuel Aquin - D-Day Dice
• Alan R Biggs - That Property Flipping Game
• Leif Steiestol - I Dig the Moon
• John Lucas - Fruition

All designers should be commended for their excellent work as it wasn't easy to make our selections. We can only hope the crop of designs is as good next year. Never too early to start working on those designs for the 2011 Award.

We will have an announcement about the selected finalists in a few months once initial playtesting as been conducted. Congratulations and best of luck to all semi-finalists!
