We have 19 games this year, all of which are listed along with details on length, development system, etc. in the “Games” tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet. You can also view the list via the IFDB poll.
Info on all the objective categories is listed in the spreadsheet (except “illustrated game”, which I didn’t think to include—if anyone wants me to add it, just let me know!).
RaT will run through July 30. Happy reviewing, everyone!
Someone mentioned having trouble figuring out how to play “Return to home”. I’m linking this post by the author; my understanding is that you should download the first file linked in that post, delete the “.txt” from the file name, then open the resulting file in an interpreter (not sure if any interpreter will work, or if it has to be one of the two mentioned, Gargoyle or Agility).
To anyone using the review spreadsheet, I’m going to reorganize it so that the reviewers’ names are in alphabetical order—hopefully this makes it easier, and doesn’t throw anyone off!
Every Review-a-thon game now has at least one review! Thank you all for the enthusiastic participation; it’s made me as both the organizer and a participating author very happy, and I’m sure the same can be said for the other reviewees!
We’re almost at the halfway point, and now all but three games now have at least two reviews, and we’re up to 45 reviews total! Can we hit 50 within the first half of the month?
We’re in the last third now, currently at 66 total reviews and with all games but three at 3+ reviews! New reviewers are still welcome—it’s never too late to jump in and review a few games (or even just one!).
Thank you to @Ally for the adorable illustration! While Review-a-thon (aka RaT) was meant to end tomorrow, I’m extending it by one week, so through August 7th instead.
Looks like my latest update was lost in the outage, but we’ve now hit 80+ reviews!
Last weekend day of Review-a-thon! (Unless you’re in Asia or Australia, in which case it’s already Monday. Condolences.) August has been quiet so far, but there’s still time to get those final reviews in!
Thanks to all who voted! Given the so-far unanimous support for a further extension, I’m going to add another two weeks and three days to the event—so the new end date will be August 23rd.
Thank you to everyone for your enthusiastic support of Review-a-thon; you’ve made running this event a great experience, and I’m happy to give more time to allow for the writing of even more reviews!
