This Game was Created for Bing crosby’s Biggest Fan …… My Dad
The stage was set for the big surprise! Dad had no idea what was about to happen!
BEFORE THE GAME CAN BEGIN, EACH PLAYER MUST DON THE OFFICIAL BING CROSBY BOARD GAME SHIRT AND FEDORA
It was a lot of fun designing a game shirt that was perfect for our family event
With Everyone in Game Shirts and Fedoras it was time to reveal what was under the GREEN BLANKET!!!
I got my hands on an antique suitcase and built the entire Game to fit inside . I bought some stickers and created others. All the Road To pictures are represnted here! The Utopia Sticker includes the movie storyline in the design. It might be my favorite.
I knew Dad would be amazed when he saw what was hiding inside!!
I used my computer and 3D printer to create Bing Figurines and a game board which all fit in the case. Under the board there is a tiny Karaoke Machine, a Traveling Putting Kit and uniquely made dice and dice tray !
Here is a closer look at the Board and Dice Tray
We made special dice that includes 1,2,3,and a X for losing your turn. The crystal shaped dice is for determinig which accessory you are going for. The accessories include a Fedora, a Pipe, a Microphone and Stand, the Academy Award and finally a Golf Ball.
Lets Take a Look at the Rules
These rules worked pretty well. We made a few adjustments during the game to keep it moving along. 3 hours of laughting was the time it took from start to finish. You can see a photo of starting Bing and Winning Bing under the rules
Here is a Pic of the Playing Cards
FACTS: “either or questions” regarding Bings life and career. I forwarded most of the questions and answers to my brothers and sisters ahead of time. FUN: will be challenges like singing or putting or rolling the prism dice. Accessories can be earned in Facts or Fun events. The BING CROSBY FAN CLUB QUESTIONs were related to actual fans of Bing Crosby ( most likely about my Dad )
