PocketGame - A Cadbury Spots v Stripes Play Project

The Egg-A-Thon Story:

Last summer Sally Manning saw her (games designer) husband's entry into the Cadbury Spots v Stripes PocketGame competition and reasoned she could do better.

From almost 100 entries a panel of gaming judges shortlisted hers as one of 10 finalists which a public vote whittled down to 2. 12,000 prototypes of each were made and sent out across the country in a special 'Matterbox' for intensive play testing.

Thousands played Egg-A-Thon & Flick Racer and voted for their favourite and at the end of 2010 Spotty Sally's Egg-filled board game finally emerged as the winner.

So now we're making at least 20,000 of a developed version of the game, sending them out to willing players and asking them to help us refine the rules as we continue playing our way towards London 2012.
