Sometimes Columbus just comes back from the grave and ruins a perfectly good plan. Or in other words “the story of how Columbus made my speaker delivery come too late and sank the main gimmick of the project.” Ethan and I had a ‘fun’ time after that.
I’ll take a step back and talk about the good things with Named Goose Game, which boils down to 3 things. First, it certainly was playable, and at least somewhat enjoyable. Second, is that laser cutting is a viable way to make obstacles out of cardboard. Third, is that ramps are pretty easy to implement with thin enough cardboard. It was mostly technical knowledge, as the soundboards lacked a critical part: the part that makes sound.
That takes me to the less than stellar parts of our game. We didn’t have time to get any sort of art/decoration onto the playfield because we both had busy breaks. Second, Columbus Day delayed speaker shipment by 1 day, meaning the speakers came in the day AFTER the project was presented.
In the end, there was a silver lining though. It was still pretty fun to make vocal honk sounds at your opponent while playing.
