bite sized: 2026 beatdown rules

Each year, we challenge ourselves to stand against the onslaught of new releases and instead focus on beating down games from our backlogs. And, in order to do so in a systematic fashion, we've created a game that introduces point values to acquiring, playing, and beating our video games, lovingly entitled "the beat down". Learn about how we play the backlog beat down, and how you can get involved on this bite sized episode of the breakdown!
Our rule set Google doc for the beatdown is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13YhqKoXpI5gm6GuJzIIYP9QvzyfwyS40CFcwyyBkj0Q/edit?usp=sharing
