Here We Go Again!

Do you love Steemit contests? There are TONS of them!

If I had more time, I'd enter them all. Instead, I started my own! If you have 30 seconds to spare and you can write 17 syllables, you can win 2 SBD, half the post's payout, and some free publicity.

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner.

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku that has something to do with board games, board game pieces, board game rules, board game brands...if it has anything related to board games, it qualifies!

This must be a one-stanza, traditional 5-7-5 haiku like the ones described here: http://www.kidzone.ws/poetry/haiku.htm . Here’s an example:

Stratego is dope
VDux played it as a boy
Beware of the bombs

You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry.

Thank you @millennialnow for suggesting the theme!!!

How to Participate

Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, April 29, 2018.

That's it! But...

You should also resteem this post to increase the winner's prize and give yourself some free exposure! You can participate without resteeming -- I don't give preference -- but if you do resteem, it only helps you.

Also, post your entry on your own blog! Mention @vdux and I'll give you an upvote and resteem your post.

And follow me! I post this contest every week or two -- make sure it gets on your feed by following me!

How I Will Select the Winner

Within 2 days after the deadline, I will read all entries and choose a winner and runner-up. While I'll take upvotes into consideration, my selection will reflect my personal preference based on the entries you submit. So far, it's been very, very close call with lots of great entries to choose from. Feel free to reuse a haiku from the past and write as many as you want.

I run this haiku contest regularly so if yours doesn't win, try again next time. Here's the link to the previous winner: @vdux/amafk-vdux-haiku-contest-winners.
