Serial Number: 201201001FS001PPJH
This board was the VERY first board made by RIOT Games and labeled as a "POPBox Hockey" Board. Remember the VERY first table top box hockey played with Popsicle sticks and checkers was made by one of the owners and his grandfather for personal play and did not yet have a name nor company behind it. It was made with a pine gameboard and contractor cast away Pine 1x4s bought at a local hardware store. It was made to build out the specifications of the POPBox Hockey board and play with gameboard design.
This board is stained with the "Elegant" standard pattern which is just a goal crease, no other Hockey lines or circles, and stained with oil stain versus water stain. This board is meant to be a show pieces but do not mistake it as ONLY a show piece, this pattern can be and should be played hard! Its just that the adults do not have to put it away when company comes over.
This board is and will always remain as part of the companies in house boards. You just cannot give up serial number 1 and it has its "learning curve" special features (Mistakes is another word for it). This board is currently most of the wooden pictures on the www.popboxhockey.com main page. The owner and his sons due play on this board regularly and as far as can be recalled, the son is about even with Dad on wins versus losses! :)
