“Rock Hard 1977” is the board game that has been conceived and designed by Jackie Foxwho was the bassist of the legendary rock band The Runaways. Now it will be officially presented in Barcelona and Madrid.
Jackie Fox was bassist of The Runawayswithout a doubt one of the essential and most influential rock bands made by women. After leaving the formation led by Joan JettFox dedicated herself to being a lawyer for film artists, among other things. What we didn’t imagine was that she was a big fan of board games, something that her followers on gaming platforms discovered a few years ago.
The fact is that now she is responsible for the board game “Rock Hard 1977”which has created and which Jennifer Giner has illustrated, and that it is a game that is published as the own production of the Spanish subsidiary specialized company Devir next to one’s own Fox. But the best thing is that there will be two official presentations of the game in Spain with Jackie Fox participating in a video call and the presentation of Benjamín Amorín de Devir and the game’s illustrator Jennifer Giner.
Presentations will take place on Tuesday, November 12 at the Rock Museum in Barcelona and Thursday, November 14 at FNAC in Plaza Callao in Madrid. These presentations are free and open to the public, so for those who want to experience the essence of the game before the presentations, games will be organized two hours before each event in the same location.
In the game, we will be a promising musician in the year 1977 and you will have to go through stages such as rehearsing, writing songs, promoting your band and other obligatory steps to become the “breakthrough artist of the year.” It is a game for two to five players – ages fourteen and up – lasting between forty-five and ninety minutes. The objective is to increase your fame to become that artist of the moment. The player markers are an amplifier and the tokens are guitar picks, so you’ll be living in a rock fantasy from start to finish.
The game is published in Spain by Devir.
