Pull up a chair and tell us about your emotional game moments. This contest is open to everyone. We encourage the most hardcore gamers among you to even the causal to join in and have some fun! # Contest ![battle1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUbeMwtHGMmtqBoWc5SfGwAESZ4Gahgmwaz3M8aWVgQAF/battle1.jpg) Games cause a wide range of emotions on the gamers who play them. From joyful tears of success to a heartbreaking moment that caused tears of sadness. Sometimes plot twists anger us and other times we find them utterly boring. Other times you will take honor and pride in your actions or have no empathy what so ever in your conquest of scorched realms. Games have even been known to cause the player to conquer terrible fears they would not be able to face in a more transitional setting. Tell us about emotional game moments. This is about gaming in general and it could include: card games, board games, puzzle games, and video games. It could focus on you in general as a gamer or be more targeted towards a game that leads up to that emotion. It could be about friends, guilds, alliances, developers, game mechanics, lore, and so much more about a game that caused emotion. These are just a couple of examples so don’t feel limited to just these when sharing with us. We look forward to reading your entries! # Requirements To Enter ![req.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZEfYAwrNLnDjDgsiE7pg4NrFR46xvRffvRbBVfpDKcZZ/req.jpg) * Must be a written post.
