About this deal

If you're running a script or application, please register or sign in with your developer credentials here. One of the biggest differences is that players must first put their paint cards onto their Palette and commit them to one of the two areas where they get mixed. The components are decent (though the included pens aren’t the best, it’s easy to just use your own coloured pencils or pens), with the charming little tokens being pretty nice – and the box having a pleasingly fuzzy Bob Ross afro and beard that’s a really neat, striking touch. If you want to paint with Bob Ross, you need to be chill, so whoever reaches maximum chill first in Bob Ross: Art of Chill Game wins.

Each player pulls a random slip of paper; then all players have 30 seconds to turn their scribble into a representation of the chosen word. You also get a teeny pad of paper (I’ve played the game about eight total times and it’s already run out) along with a deck of cards with the topic suggestions. The time pressure makes this inappropriate for younger children, so we think the 10+ age is about right.Players get to take 3 actions on their turn in any combination they want, which can allow them to get more paint, add it to their canvas, or complete a portion of the painting. Draw the next random Painting and place it on the easel and place Bob Ross at the start of the track. It wasn’t widely available in the UK until the popularity of streaming services really exploded here – and after hearing so many good things about the late artist from my American friends, I couldn’t wait to find out what all the fuss was about. Then, look at the current Chill card – if there is a bonus condition on that card, look to see if you score for that.

Put the deck in front of the Scoring Track and turn over the first 4 cards face up for everyone to see. Note that you can only paint each feature once – you may never have more than one of your markers in any column on the scoreboard. Once 2 or more paints are in an area, they are considered “mixed” and cannot be used, separated, or removed individually.So when I heard that Big G Creative was coming out with another game based on our favorite afroed painter, I was excited, but a little hesitant.

It turns out that Bob Ross: The Art of Chill was my most-surprising game played at SaltCon earlier this year. If you have two cards that match one of the Technique Cards, you can claim that Technique card, and trust me, that will really improve your score. The colors of the paint can be a bit close to each other, but the game seems to help distinguish them (especially for color blind players) by having a slightly different shape to the smear of paint in each color.And I heard him talked about on one of my favorite podcasts, “The Way I Heard It”, by Mike Rowe this summer!
