CORKS … it’s a corker of a game!
News of a new party game
CORKS is a new fast and furious card game of elimination that livens up any get-together for up to 14 players aged from 4 to 104. The more players the more fun! It doesn’t take long to master and each round is quick to keep the competitive fun at its maximum.
We tried our prototype at the 2016 UKGE Playtest tables. After initially feeling like a couple of over 40’s who felt out of their depth with a simple game, we were surprised by the willingness we had from the crowd to have a bit of fun. In our 90 minutes slot our table was never empty and there was lots of laughter.
We realised then we had to keep going and that there was room for all types of games (short, long, complicated, easy) in the gaming community.
The positive feedback from the public gave us the confidence to continue on with this crazy idea. After a 3-year journey from initial concept, countless nights working on design, sourcing a manufacturer (Thanks to Wingo for all the support), and even registration and shipping, we are back at the Games Expo this year with our finished product. In my head there is now a fanfare to accompany that last sentence!!
Come along to our stand, say hello and have a game of CORKS with us. See you there.
