I didn't make it to that panel, alas -- the drawback to being at the Assistant Div Head level means less time for the actual con, more for working. But the feedback so far has been great!

I really like what I've heard about the Hunt (from A and from one of the Kingdom of Loathing devs, who talked about it on their video games podcast). The theme sounded awesome, and the Settlers of Catan IF puzzle sounds like one I'll really want to try if it gets released (ditto the 7 Wonders one).
