[Deptheads] Gamex 2014 - Event Submission

[Nekojin]

While it's true that the event is a solo iPad game, done competitively,
Ta-Te Wu is a board game designer, and largely unheard of by the video
gaming crowd (except for people like myself who are crossover gamers). You
want this event in Board Gaming, if only for the exposure for him to his
board-gaming base. Banishing him to the hinterlands of the Video Gaming
Room could be viewed as an insult. I doubt very much that you want to do
that to your board game designers. ;)
