The Game is in Development

Today has been a blast! I love when the creative juices are flowing! I am just kicking back at work - a rare easy day, and just thinking about a new game Mike and I came up with on my drive to work.

How fortunate am I to have a daily relationship with somebody for almost fifty years! I can't believe we are so old, and have known each other for so long, but it's true. Fortunately we are both in great shape and look half our ages. That is probably because we have made ourselves laugh and tapped into our collective creative juices from the moment we met each other high in a back yare Avocado tree!

I don't want to jinx the subject, but we've moved away from the Burn Ward game and focused on another subject. Currently Mike is in production on a Corporate Bull game - a game we kicked around ideas for over twenty years ago. Trust me, the board game is great! Now Mike is taking it electronic and we came up with it's sequel, soon to be released. Well not soon, but the beginnings of it are a crack up!

Go onto bigredshoes.com if you'd like, and check out what Mike has been doing with the game Corporate Bull, and his other dasterdly projects. How cool is it to live your passion as an artist? Mike has survived somehow doing this for years and continues to be a trend setter.

Originally when Mike moved out of state for his first sales job he went through office politics that drove him nuts! Because of this Corporate Bull came to be. His original version was called the "Brown Nose Game" because he learned that in order to move up the corporate ladder many people kissed the bosses ass to do so. Becuase this name wasn't "politically correct", the name was changed.

In the original version every player starts with a bicycle, moves around the game by rolling dice, grabbing a card and following the directions. You were asked to buy a fax machine, a "pager", and bought a new vehicle, collected brown nose cards and ultimately became the CEO of a large firm. Black mail and gossip were common themes in the game. I hope this electronic version contains some of the same gags we devised. Trust me, the old material still applies today.

So now we are at it again. The same old comedy duo is poking fun at life the way that we see it through our skewed vision. As for the Burn Ward Game - Who knows? Perhaps it may fly, but the ideas for it aren't flying out like this current project.

Stay tuned. It should be a goody!!!
