Backpacks and Blisters - SOLD OUT
One of our first game designs
'Backpacks and Blisters' is having a re-boot (little walking joke there...). We designed this game in 1993 and sold some three thousand copies to a world coming to terms with video-gaming at the expense of boardgames. Since then, many have asked about re-printing in full colour and we have made it happen with your help. In preparing the project we couldn't resist re-configuring some aspects of the game (including new Equipment cards), designing the game for solo play (now 1-6 players) and we feel these to be a great improvement on the original.
