The game is won by knocking the pieces of an opponent's barn off the board before the same can be done to one's own structure. The physical layout of the game comprises a handcrafted bamboo board, building materials made of reclaimed barn wood, "weapons" made of white foam, and a burlap sack in which the entirety of the game is stored.[3] Kickstarter campaignKnock Down Barns used Kickstarter to raise $5,700 for the project, offering the game and other perks as tiered rewards for contributors. This goal was met and exceeded by raising $14,401 from 262 backers. As of February 2015 none of these backers had received their reward without additional funds or arrangements above and beyond the original promises. This debacle resulted in many problems being brought to light such as the non-existence of any proper business title at the time of the game's inception or Kickstarter funding. Additionally there are still backers as of July 2017 who have yet to receive the backer rewards or refunds with the campaign creator starting lack of funds it means despite clearly selling copies of the game as documented on social media and regardless of many trips and additional personal purchases such as a European vacation.[4] Gameplay
ReviewsIn recommending the game as part of its 2013 Holiday Re-Gifting Guide, The A.V. Club called Knock Down Barns "a mix between Battleship, Jenga, and paper football....it's all strategy and hand-eye coordination."[5] The Chicago Reader issued a similar review in late 2013, describing the game's "build-and-destroy objective" as "Jenga meets Battleship meets dodgeball."[6] The game has also been reviewed and recommended by Thrillist and The Dice Tower.[7][8] Knock Down Barns was named a "Favorite Game" by the organizers of the 2014 Chicago Toy & Game Fair.[9] References1. ^"Space: Greg Burhop," The Chicago Sun-Times (video retrieved February 2, 2015). http://tv.suntimes.com/video/chicago-reader-space/space-greg-burhop 2. ^"2014 ChiTAG Recap: What I Saw and Liked," The Game Aisle (December 1, 2014) http://www.thegameaisle.com/2014-chitag-recap/ 3. ^"The A.V.
