Scenes from the SWACKLE Journey
The ORIGINAL upcycled denim pantleg drawstring game - played right out of the bag! Here's hoping that it can still be used somehow, somewhere!!
Answers from real SWACKLE games. Note- these were from the original prototype using square wood tiles and custom 3D printed card holder - designed by my nephew TJ.
SWACKLEE trophy prototypes based on my niece Miranda's sketch!
April 2023 - first time taking SWACKLE out to public event - Midwest Gaming Classic Convention. Had a little booth in the Future Classics section.
More silly answers!
Prompt cards with Special Deliveries add a whole extra level of goofiness and laughter to this silly game!
SO glad I was able to bring my game to Chicago Protospiel in Sept 2023. Tons of playtesters and other game designers played SWACKLE and gave me amazing feedback.
A Different way to be AUDACIOUS
Headed to Chicago again! - People of Play Convention Nov. 2023. This time to learn, network and pitch my game to people in the industry. Exciting step!
My humble display for speed pitching at the POP.
Dec 2023 - The Madison Crafter Con and Protospiel gametesting was held at Monona Terrace - a Frank Lloyd Wright designed convention center right on Lake Monona. SO beautiful!
Went public with the new Book Box edition at the Madison Protospiel. Great feedback - esp from educators who could see it in a classroom setting!
Bookbox inside
Look how perfectly all the components fit inside! And with the little handles, this bookbox could still be carried easily to your next game gathering!
Game unpacked - note now there are individual Wild Tiles! (Serving double duty and offering gameplay variations for all types of players!)
New round wood letters and wood card/letter holder
The new logo - designed with my son Jared - collaborator extraordinaire!
A few more prompts with Special Delivery instructions!
What an audacious adventure this has been!
