Title: New US66 Game on Kickstarter
Post by: JayhawkCO on August 18, 2021, 01:42:05 PM
Firstly, I have no financial interest in this.

But there is a new game called Route 66: The Mother Road that's on Kickstarter right now.  I'm a board game nerd and have backed a good amount of projects lately, but I figured I would share this one with the group in case anyone were interested.

I know US 66 is the Mother Road, but when did it start being called America's Main Street? I thought that title was for US 40.

I sent the link to my wife, she is a board game nerd and loved stuff like this. 

So if US Route 99 was made into a board game would it include stuff like a race to claim internet superiority over coverage of the Old Ridge Route?  Try knocking your fellow players out by making copyright claims on Facebook whenever someone shares an image of the Old Ridge Route you took once.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to play a game like this and wonder why it never existed when I was a kid...

You don't have to be a kid to play games.  I have a weekly board game group night and I'm smack dab in the middle as far as age of attendees.
