We've been talking among the editors about trying to run a multivariant
PBEM tournament in 2003. The goal is to get some of the better new or
obscure variants more play and exposure (although there will be room for
more usual games as well). Each player would play a total of six games,
in at least five different variants from a list of seven or eight.
The crucial question is what variants to feature. What ought to be played
more? Which games should get a chance? There are so many good ideas here
that no one person can begin to evaluate them all.
We ask all of our readers to consider adding a comment here. Suggest one,
or two, or five, or ten games to be considered. We'll eventually use your
suggestions and our editorial deliberation to put together a list of 25-40
for a formal poll. That poll will determine the games to be used, if
there's enough interest. We hope there will be.
Please, let your voices be heard, and help us build a cool new event.
