THE LONG-LIST
On Saturday September 1st Leo Colovini presented the long-list at the City Toy Library of Udine, during the IdeaG Nord-Est Event.
This time the contest has seen the partecipation of 158 prototypes, a pretty big number! For this reason, the selection jury has decided to enlarge the long-list to 81 games. It has been really hard to decide which games could make it through the second step: many excluded games are still good enough, and the jury needed to play some several times, granting a more clear cut.
But not-selected authors should be sticking around: we await them (and everybody else, of course) at the final cerimony of Premio Archimede 2018, that will be held on September 29th in Venice. It will be a precious day to share thoughts and experiences for both veterans and new entries of the game authors community!
