Thanks to all who signed up in the other thread (
t:new-idea-for-a-forum-game-that-is-videogames-related-sign-up-now?f=2), we are still open for participants so please stick your name in that thread if you want to take part in a later round.
So here's the game. 4 contestants will take part in a draft to create the ultimate games lineup from a random year. They will have to draft one game in each of the following categories
Metacritic rating of >= 90 (can be filtered here
https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games ... w=detailed)
Action/Adventure
RPG
Sports/Simulation
Puzzle/Strategy
Wildcard
Games can belong to multiple categories but once they're gone then they're gone. You can draft the categories in any order but you will need to state what category you are taking a particular game when you select it. Release date is based on the European one, this is less of an issue in more recent years but please bear this in mind. If a game didn't get a European region release then it's not available to draft.
Draft order will be in a snake draft format, so round one would be 1,2,3,4, round two 4,3,2,1 etc.
Then the final drafts will be voted on by everyone and the person with the most votes goes through to the final (or semi final if we get lots of people).
The following will be this week's contestants.
Tomous
Qikz
Drumstick
IronhideAnd their randomly assigned year is
2012. The draft will begin on Saturday evening and will continue until all selections have been made so you have until then to do your research. Draft order will be randomly determined just before it starts. There is no right or wrong way to draft, you can go for the big hitters, the stuff that you've enjoyed, whatever. Any questions then please feel free to post. I hope that sounds like fun for those who have signed up.
