Re: Small game hint!

Maybe there will be really small balls like tennis balls or foam shaped rocks.
Of course if its a Monty Python styled game it could mean throwing anything from stuffed rabbits to cows.

Anyone up for a mini trebuchet?

Re: Small game hint!

From the sounds of it, Dean is trying to create speculation around these game pieces. Well, he sure is accomplishing it.

Anyhow, I do think that we will see some form of spherical-shaped game piece, what we do with it can be anybody's guess.

Connecting it to the "Security Breach" video that gives us barely anything to work off of, Jake says "And these game pieces... I haven't seen these before". From my perspective, he makes it sound like a sarcastic comment, but I may have interpreted that incorrectly. If it is sarcastic, it could mean some form of a sphere for a game piece.

It's clear that Dean states there is a possibility of having some sort of sphere. He flat out says "maybe". It's not out of the question, but this doesn't prove anything, sadly.

It could be anything

Re: Small game hint!

Cannonballs(Dodgeballs) would make sense. with the theme.

I would argue this is not the first themed game though. Most heavy theme ever yes. If recycle rush was not themed pool noodles would not have been called litter.

I was hoping for bowling balls to simulate cannonballs - although field repair between matches could be a challenge.

Field Repair? Throwing bowling balls might cause us to need more human repair
