Things are really getting wild this summer – literally! We're showing you our first party game: Bounce It! – The round thing has to go into the round thing.
On June 26.06th, there will be a nationwide tournament in Germany to celebrate the game's release; you can find all the information at the end of this post.
Bounce It! is not only our first party game, but also our first collaboration with the Thinking Giants! But one thing at a time:
What's it about:
Secure the most valuable scoring chip by bouncing balls into a hole one after the other. Each time you make a hole, you can immediately end your turn and collect the current scoring chip. Or you can continue playing for a more valuable chip. But beware: if your last ball misses, you get nothing, and the next player gets to play for the chip you left behind. Who will be the first to reach 42 points and win?
This party game is for anyone looking for short, intense, and emotionally charged rounds. Thanks to its quick rules, high level of interaction, and constantly changing game situations, "Bounce it!" is perfect for families, groups of friends, and game nights where excitement, speed, and entertainment are paramount.

The minds behind it:
Christoph Cantzler has been working as a freelance game designer in Hamburg since 1998, where he also lives with his family. As a young adult, he dreamed of a career as a writer. After his first play wasn't performed, he asked himself how to reach audiences without a large stage. The solution was simply to scale it down and transform the play into a board game. It worked and continues to inspire him to this day.
You might remember Christoph's interactive game boxes from Dice Pool Party!
