PG pair launch Naramata board game showcasing BC Wine

“Who doesn’t love drinking and board games,” says Coyne.

The game is called “Naramata’ and showcases BC’s wine country and many wineries in the game as what the creators call ‘easter eggs.’

The planning for the game began well over a year ago, long before the COVID-19 pandemic was in sight, but the game couldn’t have been released at a better time.

Great White Toys says during the Christmas shopping season, board games were hot items as people look for things to do withing their bubbles.

Coyne says Thursday marks the official launch for pre-ordering the game, which has already attracted a lot of attention online through a Kickstarter campaign.

The game raised over $27 thousand to get the pieces of the game into production, attracting attention from people across the world as people have already been in contact to pre-order the game to Germany.

The release of the game comes as the tourism industry continues to grapple from travel restrictions and border closures, Coyne hoping this game can provide some positive awareness for when things can open back up once again.

Coyne is better known for his involvement of Northern FanCon, and the northern cinema industry, says he hopes this is the first of many board games that can be made here in Prince George.
