2. The selection rotation is as follows:
   • Mike
   • Ting
   • Community (later on.. hopefully..)
3. Offer a choice of two, and the other picks one.
4. No repeat picks.
5. Alternative editions of the same game are considered the same, i.e. the original version and the GOTY version are considered the same.
6. Can specify the edition/version to be played.
