Convention Report Day 2: Board Game News (part 1)
February 20, 2008
Eric, over at Board Game News, has put himself at mortal risk again and for a second day he is exploring the booths to bring us all the board game goodness we can get. In this part he focuses on Educational Insights, makers of the whole family of Blokus products, and Gamewright’s more activity focused games.
“Goofball Rally is a new two-player game for ages 5 and up. Each player randomly places ten colored marbles on his side of the playing area, then you reveal a color card that shows the ten markbles in some order. Players race to flick the marbles and have them roll down into a well in the proper order. Once you’re finished, hit the blocking button that keeps your opponent from playing anything else. If you lined the balls up correctly, you score, and the first player to a certain number of points wins. Very fast and noisy game play that should be a hit with kids.”
Eric also talks about Blokus 3D. Though before you get too excited, it looks like it won’t be out until 2010.
