I'm a big fan of Kinetic Sand so when I heard Spin Master was looking for a game using it I was all in! The tricky thing about that compound is that it has unique properties and often behaves differently than you would expect. If you hold it loosely in the your fingers though it has a cool way of slipping through dripping and falling. I knew I wanted to capture that effect. Removing the stick supports from underneath the sand allows that to happen with drama. The resulting game is very toyetic and a lot of fun. Spin Master stayed very true to my original model but they also added some great features to round out the game play.
