Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on February 26, 2011.
We found a Manufacturer! We looked long and hard for one that we knew could make a quality board game. The search was difficult due to our special board size and quality requirements. This manufacturer has made the games Wasabi, Primordial soup, CAMP board game and many more. They also provide the testing to ensure product safety and quality for each age group the games are intended for.

This is the artwork for the Ray Gun card! Not only is it first piece of art I did for the Rocket Race it is also the piece that helped me to learn Adobe Illustrator!
Players can utilize the Ray Gun to choose an opponent to draw two cards! If getting rid of cards is the goal of the game then making your opponents draw cards puts you ahead of the race!
We have a new video for you to see. Please check it out.
