***************

What will not be tolerated? 

Game components with symbols of hate. 

Games about genocide, slavery or human trafficking (examples).

Abusive behavior towards other members of the community or their designs.

Rules | Guidelines

1. 5" x 7" Postcard (or metric equivalent) 

2. 10"x 7" Greeting Card (ok, lets fudge just a little 8.5" x 11" or an A4)

BOTH FORMATS DOUBLE SIDED - YES

DESIGNS DO NOT NEED TO BE NEW DESIGNS FOR THIS JAM!  

Have been you have been working on for years... use it.

Game must be a Wargame. 

What is a wargame? That question has cause a few civil wars unto itself...lol. I will use a very loose interpretation of what is a Wargame. One of the goals of the Jam is to encourage exploring that boundary. 

Dice, 52 card decks, Coins may be part of the design and not included on the postcard.  

Counters, Cubes, Player markers MUST be included on the postcard. (The spirit of a postcard game is that a postcard game is complete and self reliant, sans dice or 52 card decks or coins)

Submission Limit : No Limit, if you have the time and energy, share all of your designs. 

*** FREE GAMES ***
