Some SJG Favorites Of Mine Through The Years - Part 2

Note: If you are wondering where Part 1 is, you can find it here. But you don't have to read them in order!

 

Another excellent favorite . . .

 

Another project I had a big hand in working on was Bill & Ted's Excellent Board Game. This one was SO fun. Besides being based on a favorite movie from my childhood, I also enjoyed watching it on repeat as I colored the cards! The licensor was very particular about wanting the scenes colored to accurately reflect what was shown in the movie, which, of course, meant I was very likely annoying all my coworkers by repeating, "69, dudes!" far too often while I worked on this. To top it off, the mechanics of this game are super fun and dizzying. While your damaged telephone booth flies around the game board haphazardly through time, you must continue to try to collect as many historical figures as you can before the clock runs out. If you reach the edge of the board, you simply re-enter at the opposite side to complete your movements. The more figures you collect, the more chaotic your journey is. 

 

While I look back at the game now and think, "eesh, that font is HUGE," I still have no regrets – I had a great time creating that one, and I'm proud of how it turned out. And the fact that it's actually a fun game today makes me even happier.

 

Unfortunately, this one is out of print. While you can still find copies on eBay or various game-trading sites, not many are still in the wild. I have played my copy too many times to count!
