KBG Design Contest 2016

Welcome back to the annual Korea Boardgames Design Contest!
This year is a special one for us, because this is the fifth time that we are starting this contest. We can look back on a very successful history of contests.
Not only did we receive over 500 high quality submissions over the years, but there were also several which were published by KBG.

The winner of the contest in 2012, Love Means Nothing by Ariel Seoane, got published as Grand Slam in 2014.
Also the runner-up of that year, Grazing Lands from Christwart Conrad, got published as Boom: Runaway in 2014.

(might I suggest?) economy challange, no cash prize

Thu, 12/24/2015 - 04:43 — Midnight_Carnival

I'd like to propose an economy challange.

The basic idea behind it is that a kid (or an adult) in, let's just say Somalia or Nepal after the earthquake would be able to get enjoyment out of the game.

-The game must be simple to play and very simple to produce, it must cost nothing or next to nothing.
-Commonly availible materials (eg: regular 6-sided dice, standard playing cards, 8x8 chess/checkers boards) can be used but they must be cheap so that people playing don't have to buy a ton of stuff.

Survival Challenge! $100 cash, consideration for publication, and more!

Survival Challenge Contest!

Grey Gnome Games is proud to be sponsoring the latest design contest at The Game Crafter! Your mission is to design a smaller game with a survival theme. Now this could be many things. Perhaps players are trapped in a submarine during WW2, or maybe they are explorers lost in the Amazon!

The Winner will receive $100 cash, shop credit at The Game Crafter, a chance at publication via Grey Gnome Games, and much more! Heck, there are even cash prizes for 2nd and 3rd place.

Today a new bgg design contest was announced:

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1437092/2015-16-wargame-print-and-play-...

Looks very interesting to me. I have several mechanics and themes that I would like to experiment with and the deadline is still far away (April 1).
