Big G Creative WW1004 Bob Ross: Art of Chill Game, Mixed Colours

Product Information

Paint a Feature — To paint a feature of the active painting, the player must have the required colors on their Palette and the required brush in their hand. Players collect color cards, play them to their Palette, and then use them along with a brush from their hand to paint features on the active Painting.

Now choose a color, any color will do, pick up your palette and your tokens and you’re ready to play. It’s a lot of fun and, importantly, it’s a game that players of any age can near enough instantly grasp and have fun with, regardless of their skill level with drawing. Ric taught us how to play the game, we got the kids involved and just days later had to purchase this great game. In most cases, the little wooden Bob token will also move across the bottom of the easel, signifying his work towards completing the painting.

As soon as one player reaches the end of the Chill Points meter, the game immediately ends and that player is the winner!

It wasn’t widely available in the UK until the popularity of streaming services really exploded here – and after hearing so many good things about the late artist from my American friends, I couldn’t wait to find out what all the fuss was about. These cards each have a color and a paint brush type and are played onto a player’s paint palette in front of them to be used. The set-collection aspect of the game and the short time to play also add to the game’s draw for getting it to the table. Earn “chill points” by painting landscape features like Happy Little Trees and Almighty Mountains using colors and brushes from your hand of cards.Actions include drawing an art supplies cards, discarding two matching cards to claim the matching technique card (which is worth 2 points and 1 bonus point when used), sweep the art supplies card row, place a paint on their palette, wash half their palette, or complete a section of a painting. We’ll use about dozen paragraphs and some obscure references, and in each article I’ll show you which gaming masterpiece you should put on your dining room table. Once everyone has completed three drawings, each person chooses one favorite among their own drawings and places it face-up in the middle, and it’s time to vote! I think players are going to come for the nostalgia, but they’ll stick around for the solid, light, family-friendly gameplay.

This can give players a bonuses like extra actions or cards, or it can give Bob the chance to paint. And I heard him talked about on one of my favorite podcasts, “The Way I Heard It”, by Mike Rowe this summer!

You will surprise yourself by transforming abstract shapes and squiggles into charming pieces of art. You’re also racing against Bob – as there are bonus points to be had if you can paint a feature before Bob gets to it. As you can tell from our description of the game play, the rules are very simple and straightforward.

Again, by the middle of the first game, my gamer friends did well remembering most of the options (though everyone seems to forget the wipe action)… This would be another situation where a reminder/recap on the palette or central board would have been super useful. When someone has completed all three features on a painting or Bob has reached the end of the painting track, this work is complete!

Sure, that first game had quotes and painting and “happy trees”, but this feels like a game Bob would’ve actually wanted to have his fuzzy face on (and his face is actually fuzzy on the box). The player scores points equal to the number of paints used, bonus points if they're the first or second to paint this, and additional points if they've painted this feature before Bob (i. You will score bonuses each time you paint a feature which uses the tool or paint seen on your Technique card. Once 2 or more paints are in an area, they are considered “mixed” and cannot be used, separated, or removed individually. a painting is selected with 3 features and if you have the correct paints and the correct brush then you could paint it and get chill points on doing it.
