Digital Board Games

/

Board Games Sometime in early 2000 I was introduced to the board game Settlers of Catan. This game blew my mind. I was amazed by the quality, simplicity and depth of the game. This game changed my life forever. I fell in love with well crafted and designed game mechanics. I began to collect board games.

A couple things happend in 2010.

I left Club Penguin and the first iPad was released. I'll be honest when Apple announced the first iPad, I was sceptical. It wasn't until I purchased the iPad2 that I realized the full beauty of this device and the impact on the board game industry. I have been told by many experts that the board game isle is dead. "Players rarely buy games that they have never played" is explains why there are hundreds of versions of Monopoly. The digital version solves this problem and allows players to quickly learn all the rules, and master the game.

Most of my RocketSnail fans know that I am working on a game called Mech Mice. What you may not know is that Mech Mice is a digital board game. The entire Mech Mice game can be played both on and offline with your friends.

I believe digital and physical board games are about to become very popular.

Hyper Hippo - Same Team, Bigger Games!

/

For the past couple months I have been secretly working with the very talented Pascale Audette to create a larger game studio in Kelowna, British Columbia Canada. Today, I am excited to announce Hyper Hippo Productions.

Why a new studio?

Great question, we need a larger studio to create bigger games. For example, Mech Mice is too big for the little RocketSnail team. Hyper Hippo will allow us to create more games faster. Hippos are big, snails are slow.

What about the RocketSnail team?

Everyone including Cale, Andrew, Russ and Screenhog have joined Hyper Hippo. Can you guess who is who in the image above?

What will happen to RocketSnail?

Nothing. Lance Priebe (aka RocketSnail) will continue to invent and create new games and properties for Hyper Hippo Productions. This site will continue to blog about Club Penguin, Mech Mice, and all the games that I am currently working on.
