Rock the Cabinet Contest by Blizzard Arcade

For those of you that have been around long enough, you'll know the last Blizzard contest was the previous BlizzCon mapping contest. With the recent changes, Blizzard has decided to throw a nice "welcome" contest to the brand new Arcade with some pretty big cash prizes, as well as a little extra swag. This is what we've all been waiting for, Mapsters! :).

RULES

We’re looking forward to the variety of games that will be made! Here are the requirements that each submission must follow to be considered a valid entry:

• The game must be in English.
  • Barring any legal restrictions from your home country and state, anyone is able to participate in this contest, but there must be an English version of the game.
• The game should support at least one, but no more than six players.
  • You can make a single player RPG or a battle-arena game, but we don’t want the lobby size to be too big. Six is a good maximum for us.
