Endurance, Teams and Technical please! ---

Technical, speed and team for me. Sorry I see now that it moved. ---

Can I get an idea of what all the event categories are? I mean, Endurance, Power, and Speed are pretty self explanatory. What about Team and Technical? ---

If nobody chimes in first, I’ll post here. I’m frantically running through the manual (I’m realizing I haven’t so much as peeked at this since it shipped 😳). [EDIT] Some examples: **Technical** - Hide & Seek - Long Jump - Mechanical Bull - Hole Digging - Supermarket Sweep **Teams** - Animal Stacking - Bobsleigh - Tug of War - Synchronized Swimming - Capture the Flag ---

I looked for a summary in the rulebook, the website and the Kickstarter page: there are no summaries for the categories anywhere. The only one that I think is tricky is Team: it is a team of 2 or more of the animal you select (or… A team of clones if you submit yourself as a coach to compete?). You do not select multiple animal cards from your hand for the event. ---

Updated with examples from their respective decks. @pillbox are we still going to be using the like system for votes or stick to formal posting/PM? ---

Thank you both. In that case, I am going to go with Speed, Technique, and Endurance. ---

Apologies to everyone for the wait. Events have been dealt to the Coaches. Once each coach chooses one of the events they’ve been shown, those 6 events will be shuffled and 3 of the events will be selected. Each judge, then, has a 50% chance of knowing _one of_ the 3 events they will be participating in. This may influence their choice of animal competitors in the next stage. ---

Anyone who has a sensitivity to certain critters (such as snakes, spiders, dolphins, etc) can feel free to reply here or send me a private message and I can quietly cull the deck of any of those particular creatures. ---

I’m totally up for as much audience participation as possible for voting, be that likes, a poll, comments, a combination of the above, or something else. ---

The only issue I can foresee is if we have varying numbers of participants at the spectator level. We could have wildly different numbers on a given event depending on “voter turnout”. It’s a silly game and none of that really matters of course, but it’s something to consider. ---
