(Image by Samantha Gibson)Blackberries are kind of a big deal in Powell River. I made this game to sell at the annual Blackberry Festival in 2015. I’m still really pleased with how well it captures the feel of picking blackberries, despite being a silly little dice game.
I designed this one with ease of learning in mind, since my audience wasn’t gamers, but the fickle, predominantly senior festival crowd. I took inspiration from games like Farkle and Train Dice, but brought the die count down to three, since I was hand-painting the dice and under time pressure.
The Print and Play version has some rule changes, now that I’ve had a couple years to revise the design.
