Moose Games debuts Pickleball Blast

Moose Games has debuted Pickleball Blast – a title that brings pickleball to the tabletop.

This two-player game features a board game-sized tabletop court and net with attached ‘Screamin’ Pickle’ launcher and two thumb-action pickleball paddles. Using the thumb-action pickleball paddles, players will send the Screamin’ Pickle soaring, aiming to beat their opponents by flipping the pickle lids at the other end of the court. Opponents defend their jars by blasting the Screamin’ Pickle back. When a player flips two of their opponent’s lids, they earn one point and whoever earns four points first wins.

“Pickleball Blast is the newest proof point of Moose Games’ innovation and our keen ability to spot trends,” said Moose Games president David Norman.

“It capitalises on pickleball’s place in pop culture and offers the lively game play of the sport in whole new way. Our team has put a great ‘dill’ of creativity into reinterpreting the incredible enthusiasm for the sport and it’s sure to score big with fans of the sport and board games alike. We look forward to ‘relishing’ in its success and continuing to win big in the games category.”

Pickleball Blast will launch exclusively at Target stores in the US and online on February 18th, with expanded retail rollout in the fall.
