How We Came To Live Here Is ENnie Nominated

As they say, it’s an honor to be nominated. Voting is closed now, and the results will be revealed August 6^th at GenCon, but no matter what the results, getting a nomination is really exciting. The only thing more exciting about being nominated for an award is getting to hear about people playing my games.  Seriously.  Well, that and releasing new games, or seeing awesome press about my games. Or really good key lime pie. But – mainly, people playing games.

We’re Giving Away Copies In Exchange for Play Reports

The other cool thing about being nominated is that people are hearing about How We Came to Live Here who may not have heard about it before. When these folks look for more information, I want them to see what it’s really like to play HWCTLH. So, this brings me to the point.

I’m giving away 5 copies of HWCTLH to bloggers willing to write a review, good or bad. It’s okay if you didn’t like the game, or have lots of suggestions for improvement.  I just want to know what you think, and want others to know what you think

How To Enter

It’s easy!

Option 1: All you have to do is leave a comment after this post, volunteering. Please remember to include the address of the blog and a working e-mail address. If you don’t want to leave your e-mail address in a comment, send it to me at madhatter@galileogames.com.

Option 2: Tweet! Include the #HWCTLH hash tag so I will be sure to see it. Make sure you are following me at @brennanrtaylor so I can DM you.

I’ll select 5 bloggers to receive free copies. If you already have HWCTLH – great! Pick another Galileo Games offering (Bulldogs! or Mortal Coil), or a $20 gift certificate for IPR.

Giveaway FAQ

What do you want me to write? Whatever makes the most sense for your blog.  It doesn’t even have to be a full review, it could be an actual play report, or just your thoughts on the writing, layout, whatever. Pictures are even better!

When does the post need to be up by? By GenCon would be best! But that’s pretty short notice, so let’s say “August 31^st.”

What if I read it, played it and didn’t like it? Highly unlikely, but that’s okay! I want to know what people think, and if I can learn how to make games better for people, that’s a bonus too. But if you really hated it – a heads up first would be nice. I’m not saying don’t post it, but I need to brace myself.

What if I don’t have a blog? Well, this is a blogger giveaway, because we want to reach as many people as possible – but if you  have a popular “other social media outlet,” “print media column,” etc. – let me know!

What happens if I don’t hold up my end of the bargain and never post? Well, that would suck. Don’t do that! But if it can’t be avoided, let me know. Stuff happens, I get that. But – try?
