Congrats! I hit 4 this year (my first year), but that was largely due to a couple of them moving up their timelines.
I expect next year to be fewer.

The first time I played, I was the working class and created a glorious democratic socialist utopia.
I love how comically different the game is for the Capitalists vs everyone else. They're moving billions around while the rest of us are just trying to get by.

Mine has got to be, "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said, 'I drank what?'"
I started watching Real Genius at age 9, so it was only years later that that line made any sense to me. Delaying a punchline by years somehow multiplies the funny factor.

I won last year and was in the finals the year before.
It's a contest for prototypes, so the bar is much lower than published games in terms of graphic design and art.
That said, you'll likely go further in the contest with solid graphic design and decent placeholder art.

Yes, it's partly luck. And kindness. And you're smart, talented, and driven.

It takes guts to chart your singular path in the board game world.

I haven't played Pacts yet, but I've played a couple of Ben's other prototypes on Break My Game, and they're great!
