Apologies for the very long delay. I was too busy with other things, and the contest was too long delayed. Clearly, the voting time for the second round has to be extended (otherwise it would be over before starting). To speed things up: each voter (finalists cannot vote) can send an email to me listing the games from good to less good.

Congratulations to all who made the finals, and again apologies.

Oh, and please vote for the finals! And thanks to all who voted in the first round.

Unfortunately, I forgot how to speak Zillions. Who translates for me the Zillions back to English (or Dutch or German)? Thanks!

If someone owns this game, and wants to send me (h.l.bodlaender@uu.nl) some digital pictures that I can add for illustration to the page? That would be nice, thanks!

And who knows information on the name of the inventor?
