Hey.
I'd like to think that a situation where the judge already understood the game because it was a total copy of another game would only score moderately for "intuitiveness", because the game is not actually teaching itself, it's just "already known". I would say the kind of example you're giving would also score lowly on the "would I want to play a bigger version of this game" criteria. So they type of thing you're worried about is already guarded against twice in the scores.

I really don't think this is correct. Since the voting is made by other game maker,s its a biased voting system.
It really does simulates a single round prisoners dilemma. And this "understood the game because it was a total copy but guarded against twice in the scores. " situation doesn't help at all to a already not perfect voting system.
u'r the organizer so im just sayin
