Re: New VEX Game Announced!

Defense will be FAR from nonexistent in this game. Just nonexistent in the forms we're used to.

Think Stack attack wings...


Aside from that, looks to be a very good game. No "traditional" defense will encourage creative designs, that may be too fragile to use in a normal game.

I have not had a chance to handle the gamepieces yet, but I imagine that the varied sizes, and football shape, will lead to many creative pickup/sorting methods.

The large balls offer an interesting strategic decision. They should only be introduced if you are confident that you will be able to get them to the other side in time.

And finally, we seem to have another "dumpers vs. shooters" debate on our hands
