People who play games are among the most intelligent and creative people I’ve met. I hope this contest is a fun way to show off those talents. Create your best poem about games and post it here for a chance to win geekgold!

Jatoha, bentlarsen, and melissa will help me judge the entries. To give you as much creative freedom as possible, the rules will be simple:

- The poem must be about a specific game or the gaming hobby in general
- The poem must be original to BGG, i.e. it must not have been posted on this site before
- Up to two entries per person

Here are a few guidelines that may help you and the judges:
- Add an item to this geeklist, and include the poem in that item. If your item doesn’t post properly, just let me know and I’ll get it corrected
- The poem can take any form – rhyming couplets, blank verse, haiku – no restrictions, and it can be funny, serious, or anything in-between
- If the poem is meant to be a song, please include the name of the intended tune.

The contest will run from Sunday the 3rd to Saturday the 9th (Noon CST), at which time the list will be closed, and the judges will vote on the entries. We are planning to give awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

Good luck and have fun!

Currently, the prize pot is at 160.
