IntroComp

A competition for games that consist solely of introductory chapters. Judges are asked to judge them on one criterion: how much do you want to play more of this entry? This was organized as a mini-comp in 2002 by Neil deMause. Unlike most mini-comps, it became an annual event. The announcement and rules can be found here.
