Other judges included Barrett and Cardinal Quest creator Ido Yehieli.

Adventuring Company (http://oryxdesignlab.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=45) by Slothwerks took home the gold, which is kind of appropriate since it's a game about trying to take home gold from a great red dragon. It's available now on Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slothwerks.adventure&hl=en) and in-browser (http://slothwerks.itch.io/adventuring-company). The rest of the entries can be seen on the Oryx Design Lab website (http://oryxdesignlab.com/trials).
