CONTEST (closed): Box Strata - ANSWERS POSTED
-
CONTEST CLOSED. Geekscore = 63%
The Geekscore is the average score of all entrants.
Prize winners have been announced.
Answers have been posted as geeklist items #26-50.
Description:
I've made an image with 25 slices taken from box fronts found on BGG. Identify as many games as you can (the slices should roughly line up with where they are in the original image). I've tried to be very sneaky, even including a game my parents played back in the 80's when I was just a boy growing up here in Canada. I even used the box they had (which is not the game's representative image). Are you up to the challenge?
Box Strata:
Click on the above image to see a high-res version. Because sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees, all 25 slices have been isolated in the geeklist items below.
