In the photos below you can see the finished basic track complete with side buffers.
We experimented with different 'Sonic' balls and straw sizes. First impressions were that it is rather tiring trying to run around a table whilst expelling air from your lungs as hard as you could (even the non-smokers struggled!). However, intial playtesting seemed to prove there is a solid enough concept and compelling gameplay experience here to take further.
Rob tries to ramp up the difficulty level by throwing in all the game equipment pieces
(dice, counters etc.) he can find, but the balls are so light they don't make much of an obstacle for the player to overcome.
I start a touch of landscaping to see if artificial grass can do better. Sadly, Sonic lives up to his name and is not deterred.
Next I trial some more sturdy/impenetrable barriers. These work nicely!
Sonic assesses the situation ahead...
