Introducing PongCano (and a giveaway!)


I'm so excited to introduce everyone to a new game that hasn't even hit store shelves yet! It's called PongCano: The Game of Sacrifice. RoosterFin is the brain behind this game, which is suited for everyone ages 8 and up. The object of the game is to bounce the ball into the PongCano volcano. Sounds simple enough, right? But to add to the fun, you have to control your nerves and your laughter, and if you miss a shot, you have to sacrifice one of your chips into the volcano. Check out the video to see it in action:



Now, I said that this game isn't in stores yet, and that's where we come in. PongCano needs OUR help to get it in stores! RoosterFin has until July 5th to generate enough interest and pre-orders in order to go ahead with manufacturing. You can check the progress here, at KickStarter. You can pledge as little as $1, but if you pledge $20 or more, that is a "pre-order" for the game, and you will get one before it is even sold in stores. If you pledge $60 or more, you will get 2 games AND 2 custom logo bags to store the games. There are 2 more levels of pledging, that will get you TONS of great stuff!

So check out the site here, and if you like what you see, leave a comment there to show your interest and spread the word to your friends and family, and via your social networks. You can also show your support by following RoosterFin on Twitter or Facebook. To help spread the word, RoosterFin has offered to give away 6 PongCano t-shirts to 6 of my readers!

I like that any age over 8 can play this game. I thought it was interesting that even though you are out of chips, you are not out of the game. That's different then most games.

I watched the video and it looks like a fun game for the whole family. It reminds me of "Quarters" except you don't have to drink a beer if you miss.

It looks innocent but it's one hot game! The task is simple - bounce the ball into the PongCano volcano. The longer a game plays, the better each player gets (hopefully) and the higher the stakes rise for each shot.

I like that no one is ever out of the game. It seems that, when most of the people are out, the whole fun of the game seems to collapse. This way, everyone stays involved!
