Starting to "Figure" it Out

We might have found a way to make our board possible, still hashing out the details with the manufacturing company but it is looking good. Huge sigh of relief from over here, let me tell you!
We have also started moving forwards with the figurines for the player pieces, a couple theories are out in the air, but the cars the figurines will be based off of are pretty solid.
In the base game we have the Titanium Tank, the Suburbia Station, the Fast Formula, the Redneck Racer, the Mighty Motor, and the Rod Rocket.

The other cars on there are some currently unnamed ones, that might be in one of the future expansion packs! If you come up with any totally sweet cars, let us know, we might just use them.

See you on the next lap,

Custom Dice and Custom Dies

As our game progresses into actually being playable, we are faced with unique conundrums.
One of the best features of our game is its ability to be customized. You can change how you play the game every time you play because the board itself acts more like a puzzle than a normal game board. We love this feature, everyone we talk to loves this feature. But, no one can print this feature...
Don't be mistaken!  We are not giving up!!
There are still a ton of options to explore, and we have only just begun our hunt for the right printing company. Luckily, all of the other pieces are more manageable!  Yay!

Some other things we were able to polish lately were the "Garage Cards." Now acting as equipable cards, they are really taking the game to a whole new level of fun!
Also, after talking with Bradley, it sounds like the graphics are coming along as well! Hopefully, I will be able to put up some test images in the coming weeks!

See you on the next lap!
