	Games not according to the following rules cannot be tested ans will NOT receive the valutation report nor can be amitted to the finals. The game - The game must be inedited, it cannot be an extension or a variation of already existing games. - The games will be judged in the first place by the originality of their mechanisms The rules - The rules must be written in Italian and/or English and computer-printed. - The rules must not exceed 20.000 letters included spaces. - The rules must be clear and complete (containing also the list of material and the number of players) and the jury must not have problems of interpreting them. The prototype - The prototype must be functional, i.e. must permit the jury to play the game without difficulty. For example the pawns must be stable, the measure of the fields on the board must be fitting with the measure of the pawns, cards must not be too thin, colours must be clearly distinguished etc. - It is not necessary that the prototype will be made as a finished product, normally the graphics are less important as the functionality. This is different when a proposal is based on some outer aspect of the game. - The prototype must be contained in a solid cardboard box with dimensions that fit the contents (please avoid bags or containers which are too big or too heavy). The box must be well closed, but easy to open. Take as example the standard boxes of already published games. - The game components must be well made and divided in a way to facilitate the preparations for playing. For example, it is preferable to divide the material in the starting material for each player separately. - On the box the name of the game and the name and the full address of the inventor must be indicated. - The organisation is not responsible for losses or damages of the games during the transport. An advise: - Before sending it, let your game be played by a test-group, without your interference in any way in explaining the rules and during the game and observe the proceeding of the game! In this way you will have useful indications about how to refine your “creature”.
