TricTrac.net - Game Design Contest

The prize is to be edited by Days of Wonder or Asmodee. The jury is compose of Marc Nunes, Croc (Asmodée), Pierre Gaubil, Cyrille Daujean (Days of Wonder), Mr Phal (TricTrac), Manuel Rozoy (Ludothèque de Boulogne Billancourt) et Olivier Arneodo (Des Jeux sur un Plateau). If you are editied you will receive publicity from the magazine Des Jeux sur un Plateau and Tric Trac. If you don't win but get to the final round, your games will be presented to the Cannes Games Festival.

Rules are in French only, but submission can be propose in French or English. I haven't got the time to translate the rules.

The first part is to propose a synopsys by 31/12/05 by mail or by the site.

I'll give it a shot with Emporium XIX. I guess Sedjtroll & Scurra you'll be sending All for One.

Good luck to you all.

Rookie,

That's great news! Hopefully you or one of other french speaking members (hint hint Canadians) can translate the rules so we can post it officially. This is very exciting news indeed! Short notice, but exciting nonetheless!

I don't read french well enough to even find the rules on the website, but if you had the link you could do a preliminary translation through Google and then spend time cleaning it up. This might save time over doing a translation from scratch.

Maybe easier would be to use word and link tot he doc...

Thanks for the heads up on this!

I'm having some trouble sending an entry (due today!) to the trictrac design contest. I believe I have made an account (maybe 2!), but I have still to find where or how to actually submit!

If only I knew French! Google translator is of little help. Can anyone who's successfully submitted help me out here? Maybe a link to the submission page?

Thanks,

- Seth

Don't forget to fill out your profile page with your address and telephone number!

Look for the "Profil" icon on your JSP home page (the one that lists your submissions). It should be the second icon down on the left side of the main (central) frame on that page.

Also, be advised that you can enter multiple games. I've seen no limit specified in the rules.

Good luck to everybody!

Anyone else hear back?

- Seth

Congrats, Seth!

Both my component lists got dinged. :(
Ah, well...that means I can polish them up for Hippodice.

And David (Scurra) of course!

And David (Scurra) of course!
Indeed, let's not forget Scurra! I posted something in the magazine introducing David, I don't want to pass it off like All For One was my original idea or anything. I think Scurra and I are both on the same page with respect to All For One... I know when *I* talk about that game, any reference to myself is really a reference to both me and David.

So Congrats David! We made the first cut!

P.S. I am even more convinced now that this JSP Project is a new way to organize their submissions and weed out the ones they're not interested in. I think it's no coincidence that it cropped up at about the same time Days of Wonder quit accepting submissions.

Yup. It's a pretty slick way to streamline their submissions. The only downside is the lack of feedback for rejectees -- but we shouldn't be looking to these guys to improve our designs, anyway.

I can honestly say that my experience in working on All for One entirely electronically with Seth has been rewarding, fascinating and frustrating (often all at once.) Everyone ought to try it at least once!

For anyone interested, here's a link to the rulebook submitted for All For One, which I believe is viewable at the trictrac website anyway.

Let me know what gross errors you find in it.

Scurra: Good luck to both of us! Hopefully they will see A41 as the Days of Wonder style game it really is!
