The illustration is awesome and very realistic! Don't you think you should have made that drawing yourself? How do you win? I don't really like the color scheme it should be more like a soccer field with green grass. There should also be a soccer goal! To me golden goal doesn't really tie in to the game. I don't really understand this game. Who do you recommend this for? I don't think people who likes sports will like this. How many people have you surveyed?

I love the cover of the box, and it is very eye-catching.  The idea is awesome, and i like the black hole because  it creates a competitive game.I think the  background should be green with grass, and look like a soccer field. I also noticed on the back of your board, that the paper is coming off, so maybe you could mod podge it, so it doesn't come off or anything.

The desine on the front on the box is very detailed with shading. The objective is very simple, purfact for a 8 year old. The red and blue squares might be a little confusing for an 8 year old. The back of the board needs a little more pop and color

I liked the name a lot, and the box design is EXTREMELY amazingly good, the name really fits the game itself. The board looks really nice and well thought out. The concept of the game is very interesting and very intriguing. The game looks very fun and I look forward to playing it

- Golden Goal is a name that sounds amazing and intriguing
- Good, short amount of time to play
- The box looks amazing. (props to Mr. Alex Johnson)
- Rules are very clear and easy to understand.
- Well designed board, but a little bit bland. Maybe a little bit more color would be good.
- Good start/finish space
★★★★☆

Your illustration is very clear and very good. It’s a little confusing but, I really like your logo. I like that you don’t need to have knowledge of soccer or football to play this game.

I like the box but you didn't make it yourself. It seem as though it is only for people who play soccer. If that board is your rough draft you need to hurry up your process. It is a little hard to understand. I suggest thst you glue the cover more to the box because it is kind of coming of.

I love the Box, It looks awesome. I has good detail,shading and design.

I like the concept ( I mean I play soccer, so I know what you are saying ). But in your rulebook, I think you should explain soccer, like a hat trick or even a goal for people who don't know sports like this.

I like the logo, It goes really well with the theme and all in all design. It reminds me of the world cup logo ( I don't have any problem with that, I love soccer. It's just that is what it reminds me of. )

i like the box but the image is not attached. use mod podge to stick it on well. the layout of the board is nice but could you add a little bit more fun things to fill up the board. the gameplay sounds very intriguing, and you don't need muck knowledge of soccer to understand how to play.

I like the name and logo.
It is kinda hard to understand.

I really like Zaq’s board game packaging and how it makes a noise when he closes it. I also like how he is giving a fourth of his profit to his illustrator Mr. Johnson.

If I saw this in a store it would definitely catch my eye because of the packaging but I would not buy it because I don’t have much interest in soccer.

There is a spot on the board called ‘the black hole’ and if you land on it you have to go all the way back. That reminds me of a wii game I play called “board game island” on wii party. If you land on a certain spot and don’t get the right number you fall have to start over.

I like Zaqs board game because it seems pretty well thought out. The name is "Golden Goal". He said it is an starter game because it is only 15 min. It seems pretty clever. I think it is a "roll the dice and then move" kinda game. It is very simple. I prefer more interesting, longer games. (Not that his game isn't interesting, I just find longer games more interesting to me.) I LOVE his box. It is beautifully illustrated.  I like his logo, but I think he should make his logo more gold because the name of the game is "golden goal". He said you don't need to fully understand soccer in order to play his game, which I think is convenient (and smart). Lo story short, I like his game!

I like the game because it is my favorite sport and because I have seen an games about soccer before so its good to see some originality to a game once and a while. I also like how you added real life penalties and feature to soccer. You make it simple and easy to under stand and you do have an easy was for people who don't under stand soccer.

Great name. Describes the theme and objective perfectly. Similar to the game of life. Easy, fun simple. You had no trouble answering questions.

I like the box but I think it can have a slight bit more detail seeing from the exterior. (Sides) The top of the box looks sick, I really like the top and I think that you did good by putting that on there. The board looks ok, but it doesn't look complete. It's just red and white white on some paper, it would be cool if you threw in some designs on it. I really like the idea of the game though because soccer is my favorite sport. The name Golden Goal sounds so cool! Not only because gold is my favorite color but because the name sounds satisfying to say, Golden Goal, Golden Goal. Awesome!

The box looks really good. The drawings look really good and neat. The name is nice and fits the game. I like that it's an opener game. Not many games are an opener game. The board looks cool and colorful. The red and blue path is a good idea. The logo is simple but colorful. It's good that you don't need a good understanding of soccer to play this. It's good that if there are soccer terms you have a definition.

I really like Zaq's game name. I also really the box design. I like that it's an opening game because there are not a lot of people in cohort A and B who did n opening type of game. I like how simple and easy the game is. The board design and logo design are both very eye catching. I also like that you don't need a good understanding of soccer or football to play his game.

good intro,
AMAZING BOX.
that box really makes me interested in playing.
fart factor 5.
the board could use more
color but i under stand it is a rough draft.

it is certainly a roll & move game, but being an opener i understand the concept.

DON'T CHANGE THE BOX.

The game could market to a lot of demographics and not just people who like soccer.

good job Zaq!

I love the box design it is very creative and detailed. It is very easy to play and understand. I like the board it is very eye catching. The Name really gets me hooked on the game. It’s great how it is an opening game so it is very quick to play. I like how there is a “black hole” because if you get one more you have to go to a hole bigger circle. I like the logo it is very eye catching and original. I like how you took your own number for soccer and incorporated it into your game. I like that if you don’t know some terms you explain what they mean so it is friendly for everyone. I would play your game.

The box is AWSOME! Don't love the idea, it's good I just don't LOVE it. The squares on the board are really small. The game is a little confusing. Maybe you should make it 5 +, not to be harsh, It's kiddy. I do like that it's sports themed. Logos cool, the name doesn't really fit the game.

I like that you mentioned how much time it takes to play. The cover of the game is BEAUTIFUL. I like that you mentioned that you signed contract with Mr. Johnson. Very professional.

The board still needs a lot of work and detail. Make it more visually stunning.

You have a strong title. I enjoy the alliteration.

Have you thought about marketing for the upcoming World Cup?

Caedmon

The box looks AWESOME!

Sounds like a great family game because it’s an opener game and could be easy for children to understand

The name is also great!

Your board is pretty nice for a rough draft.

On the board WHY IZ DE SKY NOT BLUEEEEE! (It’s fine if you want to keep it like that. You’re the game creator)

I like that you don’t have to be a sports pro to understand the game.

Joe

2018-03-07 19:36:27 UTC

I would have some more detail on the SIDES of the box.

Joe

I like how you incorporated the gameplay information in the cover picture.

jpoind — 2018-03-07 19:37:51 UTC

I love this design alex is going to be drawing mine too :)  And the idea is great too. The name is well advertised
and a well put presentation i loved it. I do think that he could have been more fluent with his speaking pattern but thats just the way he speaks. A note is he can maybe make more time to like figure out what he is going to say. Other than that it was awsome

Joe

2018-03-07 19:38:38 UTC

Maybe add pictures relating to the sport on the final draft board.

My Opinion (you know who, I've been using this title the whole time) (but also its lilly) (again)

lillymorgancox — 2018-03-07 19:38:56 UTC

I think the sports theme is very interesting, and I like that you decided to base it mostly off of soccer, and use soccer terms. I think it would be a little more chaotic if you could play a bunch of sports. I think that your idea is very unique, because I don't think I've ever seen sport-theme games. The box is really cool looking, although it could be slightly more detailed- I noticed just a white background- as an artist, I know that pieces can be made much more lively if there's a full background- I even spent extra time on my box design just to make sure I had a background.

Jonah

I've played the game and it's really fun and cool

Joe

Does someone need to understand sports in order to play? If a player is not familiar with soccer terms, does the rulebook explain it?
