Update:
In the podcast we discussed entries in the summer fundraiser and I could not quite decide between $10 and $5 entries. We have figured out a way to do both. If the requested game is connected to the amiibo entrant purchased, the price will only be $5. If the game is not related to the amiibo purchased, the price will be $10.

Example:
Buy KIRBY and request UNLIMITED SAGA: $10
Buy KIRBY and request KIRBY’S ADVENTURE: $5

Stay tuned: Final, official rules and entry instructions are coming in May.
