The game at the Salute 2012
The game ran well on the day. Transportation was
achieved by using two cars fort he scenery and toys,
the most difficult pieces being the large, flat road
sections. However, with suitable estate car capacity,
these 1.2m by 1m lumps of (50mm thick) pink foam
made the journey without a hitch.
We ran the game either four or five times on the day
(we lost track!) and - having a core team with spare
capacity it meant hat most of us got a little time off to
look around the show (I managed two half hour
chunks away from the table).
Set up was a little fraught - getting the rolling road to
truly ‘roll’ on its little lego wheels meant getting the
tables set up carefully and a cloth tensioned across
the whole length underneath (and held in place with
gaffer tape) but we got there in the end.
What it did mean, however, was that - teamed with the
game’s popularity - the only time (and space) I had to
photograph the game was before we actually started
playing in the last ten minutes before we opened, so I
have borrowed some pictures from other people’s
websites and blogs to fill in the gaps.
So thanks for that go to 6 Mil Phil and Tomsche from
Antverpica, Belgium.
