Uhm... you actually first need to teach to the overseas friends how this game (in not virtual world) works. You were a good teacher about it with me, and it is a fun, easy to learn game, both as a video game and in its original form, so I suppose that with a nicely done game manual explaining the different rules for the different challenges, this shouldn't be an issue, and everyone can easily enjoy it.

After all, it is not like featuring an American Football related video game, that since culturally it is not a big deal in Europe (to say Manning or Marino to an average European means nothing special), it will have hard time being popular; games similar to this one exists, it is easy to learn, fun to play, and if someone has the peripheral it is a great innovative use for it, worldwide.

absolutely. Feel free tomorrow them, man  

There -were- some NA members, yes, but not in the pics.. We even had a mini tournament. A lot of people actually tried it out today and had a great time! More minds blown; mission success.

I just finished the rough draft for the 16 page full color manual tonight! Up next, the label!

Still waiting to hear back from the State to make sure I can use my business name. I'm hoping to have everything ready for the printers before that returns.

Man, that looks nice. THE reason to own a PowerPad (and risk making the downstairs neighbors pound on the wall)!

Damn! Super cool!!! The logo is awesome, the label and box looking like cornhole boards is amazing, the bag and coozie look great, and the bean bags are grand! Looking like a seriously awesome package. I'll be all over this LE like white on rice.

While doing some testing tonight, I thought it might be fun to share a video of me playing level 1 in Story Mode. I try to show all the buttons being hit. I hope you can see the screen and here the audio ok. I'm not a web video guy, so don't expect any commentary from me.

Yes, exactly! The game type for level 1 is Twenty And Over. That means that in order to win the game, you must score 21 or more Total Points. That is just 1 of 7 different game types included in Tailgate Party!

Long week and lots of work done on Tailgate Party. Not too much longer, folks. I'm looking at no later than April for the release! And, I will be bringing the game along to the Midwest Gaming Classic! I hope to be able to show off everything at that time!

Cornhole for recluses! Love it and the coaster is ace! If I am fortunate enough to win a copy, I'll be playing this on my porch/deck out back by the pool this summer!
