Re: It is almost here!!!

I believe it will be a "pick and place" style game.

Ala 2005, 2007, 2011. It's been a while.

I think if you look at the Mars Rovers, the Canadarm that was on the Space Shuttle. A "space/mars exploration" style game makes sense.

I don't love the over themed games but I think that's the new reality.

Re: It is almost here!!!

I think it'll be some sort of pick and place game. I'm hoping it has some option to score in volume, as we have not had a true volume scoring game since 2009 (!), but I'm not holding my breath. Would love to see something where you pick up many relatively small objects, and puke them into something high up / far away.

We had 'moon exploration' in 2009; Mars would most likely be next in the sequence.

Re: It is almost here!!!

Since the Teaser After Show is featuring Emma Dumont who among many other things is a Roller Derby skater, and this is the "unusual object" rotation cycle, I'm guessing that we are going to play alliance roller derby with a baton. Like Arial Assist, alliances will have to carry the baton around a track and get points for handing it off and then closing a cycle by scoring it.

Re: It is almost here!!!

Hoping the game has a bunch of game pieces so we can store a bunch and unload them in scoring zone
