Each year, there is an annual game design contest for the deck, with a deadline of July 31st. In 2023, the winner will get £100 cash, a bundle of games, 12 hrs of Bez's time (to help with anything), and a table at UKGE to show off their game. Everyone will get guaranteed feedback. The hope is that this will continue to be a source of 'headline' games for the deck, meaning that anyone who buys the deck will have an endless source of entertainment.
Additional rules are on the website.
