When I first created the Roll-a-Bong board game, I knew it wasn’t the only pot smoking game on the market.  I did realize that most of the games were made as a joke and that they were cheap in quality or expensive for no apparent reason.  I had a game that I created  in the 80’s and I felt it was the time to update it and to try to sell it.  My first attempt was a bust! 

I produced 100 Roll-a-Bong prototypes and sent them to everyone I knew. The quality of the art was poor and the game did not reflect my wishes, but the artist refused to change what he did.  Somehow, someway, the game was good enough for a old friend of mine to see it’s potential.  My friend Jim was in investments and liked what he saw.  The conversation went something like this… “Gary, I hate the art, and the game is confusing.  The box is cheap and the board sucks!” “So what did you like Jim?” “I love Roll-a-Bong, I remember playing it in college. This game is crap, but I like Roll-a-Bong!”

Jim worked with me. He found a great artist, Edison Goncalves, and he encouraged me to think big.  Six months later, I had a first class game and a high quality Chinese printer.  The game came alive and I produced 2000 games with my wife’s help.  Everywhere I went with my game, people were amazed. I was told several times that it was too good.  I pointed out that my game sold at a lower retail price than my competitors. From the NYC Toy Show to the Cannabis Cup in Denver, I promoted my game.  I never found a national retailer interested and sales were slow in the NY area. 

I never stopped innovating.  I created a Roll-a-Bong Deluxe version, and have the prototypes made.  They are ready for a national roll out when the time is right. I also found a way to play the game with friends on-line.  On the Roll20 game platform, Roll-a-Bong awaits .  Here players will find Roll-a-Bong, free to play.  Also available is Roll-a-Bong Deluxe - this you need to arrange with me, but it’s still available.  I can proudly say that my game is the only cannabis board game available for online play!

And I didn’t stop there. No, I continued to innovate.  Available only through my website are today’s best cannabis games.  I buy in bulk so you can save!  Roll-a-Bong Games is a one-stop shop for the best of the best.  We add new games all the time and we stop selling those that don’t interest players anymore.  I also offer several blogs a week on various subjects related to ganja and gaming.  One thing is for sure, I’m a life-long gamer, and I love to share games with other people. 

Staying one step ahead is a state of being for me, a gamer’s Avant Garde, a desire to the new and creative.  Roll-a-Bong Games has that drive and seems to be ready to do what’s new and fun.  Infused D&D is ready to launch, a chance to play today’s hottest game, all while earning treasure and experience (basically smoking).  The player experience is central and our goal for our customers.  We are planning all the time, next up will be a Game Show featuring cannabis games - sounds really fun!  I can’t wait, keep watch…
