The Goblins Return! I think I found something for the Christmas wish list

Oh no this got pushed out to February? Would have been great for Christmas.

Awww. I was getting suspicious about the lack of promotion, so I finally checked here. I was really wanting this for Christmas party games

Was this ever demo'd anywhere to see how it plays?

Hello!

While it was demo'd in a very limited capacity at Gencon 2021, it has not yet been demo'd widely to a public audience.

Christmas? Nah! We'll play it Memorial Day Weekend before we light off the real things. Heehee...

We are talking about it. I don't have any announcements yet.

Is there a suitable age range for this? I'll probably hold off until I can see it demo'd somewhere. I'm still not sure I even understand what it's about.

Back of box text:

"Goblins have come to the town of Sandpoint, intent upon stealing their fifireworks for an upcoming festival. Do you have the goblin grit to pillage your way to victory and emerge from the town with the most fifireworks?"

"Pathfifinder Goblin Firework Fight is a quick party game of theft and mayhem. Pillage loot from the town or from your fellow goblins, but watch out! The other goblins are just as likely to steal from you!"

2-4 Players, Ages 13+, Playtime: 60 minutes

It's a card drawing game as it looks.

Goblins have come to the town of Sandpoint, intent upon stealing their fireworks for an upcoming festival. Do you have the goblin grit to pillage your way to victory and emerge from the town with the most fireworks?

The game is played over a number of rounds. Each round, every goblin takes a turn pulling a loot token from the town's treasure pile. These tokens might represent useful tools or valuable treasure like fireworks, dogslicers (goblin knives), or shields. Unfortunately, the tribe's most fearsome beast, a pig called Squealy Nord, is also hiding in the treasure, bringing mayhem and chaos to any who draw his token from the pile. You never know what you might get.

Fighty goblins can choose dogslicers and just steal from their neighbors instead of raiding the village. Smart goblins will take some shields to defend themselves from their peers. Crafty goblins with leadership qualities may choose instead to take the badge of leadership, the Pickle Token, signifying for all their prominence and importance as well as the right to pick first next time.

After 10 rounds and one last free for all opportunity to steal from each other on the way back home, one goblin is declared the "bestest goblin of the raid" and basks in glory and the admiration of their peers. Until the next raid...

I do not have an answer for you at this time. I am advocating for it.

Opinions please. The instructions are designed to be folded. This means some parts are intentionally upside down. Do you want a PDF that can be printed and folded, a PDF with all the text reside up, or both?

Both. If it was just one, then regular (all the right way up text) would be better.

The reason Paizo didn't produce a PDF of the instructions is because of the Firework Technician archetype from Guns & Gears. Normally, Pathfinder Society characters have to be from Tian Xia or Vudra to access the archetype.

If you have Guns & Gears and Goblin Firework Fight, your Society character can access the archetype, regardless of their homeland. The instruction booklet is the proof your Society GM needs that you're allowed to do that.
