serial number went on the bottom of the board and the bottom will be
stained and poly'ed in the coming week. This donation POPBox Hockey is
the second donation board produced by RIOT Games and is going to the Richfield Public Schools 5th Annual Wellness Expo as a door prize! This is very exciting for us because our primary goal as a company is to make these
boards for donation to youth centers, events that benefit youth,
etc! Congratulations to Richfield on their 5th annual Wellness Expo. congratulations to the family, person, or persons that win the door prize, and if you need information on how to play, etc send me an e-mail and we would be happy to help out!
This board was the second mini POPBox Hockey board made by RIOT
Games AND the second donation board! It was made
with a pine game board leftover from the second full size POPBox Hockey board and contractor cast away Cedar 1x3s bought at a
local hardware store. Mini POPBox Hockey boards are
intended to be the board that can be brought easy to friends houses,
trips, campgrounds, you name it! One use the the owner has made of the
mini is to keep it at his work desk. Additionally, they are easier to
store than the full sized boards.
This
mini
board is stained with the early, no blue line, "Hockey Rink" standard
pattern which is a goal crease, a red line on the top of the center
board and the blue center ice and red face off circles. This mini board did
not have the blue line yet as this was added to the "Hockey Rink"
pattern after its production. The goal crease and center ice circle
were the first water stained colors and the red face off circles were
still stained with oil based stain. There is NO goalie options for the mini, there is no need for them! There were/are some
imperfections with this board as the build guidelines were still
rough and exact locations were not yet determined for the pattern PLUS this was the second mini board made!
The play is fast on the mini boards as
the checker piece or puck bounces around A LOT with the smaller board and
smaller goal AND the goals come quick with all the bouncing. That being
said, a direct shot needs to be exact with so little give between the pipes!
Just wondering if the family that received this board has any questions on game play or etc? The included instructions cover anything you should have questions on but I'd like to know if there are any questions.
ReplyDeleteAlso would love to chat with you in regards to initial thoughts, etc. This was our very first board that is not owned by someone we know, and we would love to get some feedback, positive or constructive.
Congrats to you for getting picked for the Richfield Wellness Expo door prize and we @ RIOT Gaming / POPBox Hockey SURE hope you are enjoying the game board!
