The Winning 'Mystery of the Abbey' Entry

Jul 14, 2008

In Episode 10 the D6G team offered up the Days of Wonder game "Mystery of the Abbey" to a listener who could correctly answer our D6G trivia challenge.  We also stated that there would be bonus points for creativity.

We received some great entries, but none more thorough and creative then Nils' entry.  Nice job Nils, you're D6G autographed copy of the game is on its way.  And yes, having us sign it probably has devalued the product.   ;-)

We just had to share Nils entry with everyone.  He answered in the form of another quiz... with even more trivia and bonus questions!
