Hey everyone, I have a new play mode to introduce. This one can be found included with the Band Room Blitz country/folk expansion. But first, I have an update on the production of the expansion sets. Its officially out of my hands! We had a good back and forth in the initial proofing phase, a bit more than expected, but everything looks good and we're moving on to test pressings! To give you an idea of the production process once the test pressings are confirmed we move into full production and then, once thats complete, its placed on a slow boat to Vancouver and is that much closer to your doorsteps.
Now, on to the new play style.
Playing Band Room Blitz Around the Campfire
(or anywhere without a table)
This game mode can be thought of as an even more casual way to play compared to the "Just Jammin" difficulty level found in the base game rules document. It works for any situation you find yourself with only your lap to play on. For this game mode you only need the category deck. The band leader looks through the deck for two category cards and reads them aloud to the other players. Each player then thinks of a band name and declares it as it comes to mind. Once everyone has declared their band name the band leader chooses their favorite (as usual). It's up to you if you'd like to keep track of points. If you are, you can end the game as explained in the base game rules. If not, then you can call it after everyone has been band leader twice (for large groups) or three times (for small groups.)
And thats all, I'm sure many people have already figured this out for themselves at this point but I thought it would be worth sharing should you be looking for a casual group activity for your next camping trip.
