I really love design play that takes the expected and twists it. This is a prime example. By starting with a photo of an original game cartridge for the atari 2600, and replacing and repainting the firefox logo into it, then adding the title in the Atari 2600 font (Mumbai.ttf) it’s fairly easy to pull off this kind of substitution. In retrospect, I should have used ALL CAPS for the title, as they did for their cartridges, but still, a fun project.
So, I’m hoping this poster will be a breakout hit of this series; I’ve always loved this game. Slapsies is so simple, very straightforward, and highly portable. However, it also allows for great strategy, requires determination, has poker-style emotional skills, and tests one’s endurance in such a way that it will please any hard-core gamer. It wins over players quickly with laughter, victory, fun, and it goes with you everywhere you go. It may just be the perfect game.

Melissa and I had a really great walk this morning and afternoon, and I got in all my steps and then some. My feet are aching, but I feel great despite this. 🙂
