Unboxing the Pick Picknic Game

Unboxing the Pick Picknic Game
The last day of our Hong Kong trip was a visit to Mong Kok Ladies Market to buy our ‘pasalubongs’. As we scoured to the usual t-shirts and key chains that the vendors are selling, we came upon one vendor that sells table top games at a cheap price. That got our inner geek self excited and we browsed through his products for our purchases.

This card game called Pick Picknic and I bought this for around 35 Hkd or converted to 200 pesos. Let me share to you on this post as I unbox the package.

Here is what the box cover looks like. It is a cartoon of a bunch of chickens that seem to enjoy the life in the farm. The game was created by Stefan Dorra.

As I opened the box, the top most is the brochure on how-to-play guide printed in different languages.

Pick Picknic Game 2

Here we have six cardboard of the farms that I think is the major component in the game. It is sort of a battlefield or playground.

The next contents of the box are the package of the square pellets in three colors and a dice. Also, we have the deck of cards for the actions or spells in MtG’s case.

What got me attracted in buying the game is the similarity of the power and toughness indicator in the cards in the deck. I will be testing the gameplay on our next playtest sessions with my card pool or any peeps in Magic Iloilo and hopefully we could learn it fast so as we could teach it right away to other players.

That’s a wrap for this unboxing post. Stay tuned for my next post on this as I explore its gameplay and probably rate the game afterwards.

Until next time.
