MOVE38 BLINKS GAME SYSTEM Manual de usuario

A NOTE FROM THE CREATORS

Blinks is a new kind of game system. Our goal is to bring what we love about digital

games to the social, hands-on experiences of tabletop gaming. This is a new space, barely

explored, and we’re excited that you’ve got your hands in the game.

We’ve imbued Blinks with the ability to learn from each other and learn new games.

We believe that play shapes the way we think and that each of us could learn something

from each other. Blinks wouldn’t have been possible without the help of more than a

thousand Kickstarter backers, a team of talented open-minded thinkers, and the support

of friends and family from the very beginning. We hope that Blinks are an excuse to put

away your devices and connect with family, friends and strangers – have fun, and discover

new ways of thinking.

Sincerely,

Jonathan + the Move38 team

QUICK START GUIDE

1 -WAKE

Press the Blink to turn it on

Waking one Blink will wake an entire cluster,

if the cluster of Blinks recently went to sleep.

2 - FIND A GAME

Select a game you want to play

Game labels are located on the back of each Blink.

Each Blink can teach its game to all others.

3 - LOAD GAME

Hold the Blink for 3 seconds

Making sure the Blink is alone, press and hold the Blink

until a dancing blue pattern animates on the surface,

then let go. It’s ready to teach.

4 - TEACH GAME

Attach the single Blink to the cluster

You have 3 seconds to introduce this Blink.

It begins teaching its neighbors. The dancing blue

pattern will cover the cluster as it shares the game.

5 - WAIT

Wait for game transfer to complete

Don’t touch the Blinks while they are learning a

game. Blinks will transition from blue “learning” to

green“ready” state. Blinks will play their startup

animation once they have all learned the game.

6 - PLAY

Play Blinks!

All programmed Blinks will now

be playing the new game!

7 - SLEEP

Saving battery life

Blinks go to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity. To save

battery life, you can press and hold a Blink until it falls

asleep, at least 6 seconds. If it is attached to a cluster,

all connected Blinks will sleep as well.

8 - CHANGE BATTERY

Remove the back panel to change batteries

Blinks use a CR2032 battery, a common watch battery.

To insert a new battery, simply remove the back panel

and swap it out.

BLINKS BASICS

Every Blinks game is dierent, from thoughtful games

like Berry, to action-packed games like WHAM.

But what they all have in common is a few basic

techniques. Here’s what you’ll need to know to play

games with the Blinks game system.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Blinks are magnetic. They connect with a satisfying

“clack” when pushed together. When physically

connected like this, they communicate with each other.

This ability allows complex game play and emergent

behavior.

PLAYER INPUT

You can also interact with Blinks by pressing the button

on top. Remember, Blinks are not touch screens –

they have physical buttons. Blinks recognize several

dierent types of presses.

SINGLE-CLICK

Press and release the button quickly to perform a

single-click.

DOUBLE-CLICK

Like a mouse button, Blinks can also be double-

clicked. Make sure you do this quickly, or it might

MULTI-CLICK

Rapidly click the button 3 or more times to perform a

multi-click.

LONG PRESS

If you press and hold the button for 1½ seconds then

release, you’ve performed a long press. Be careful,

though: if you continue to hold the button for longer,

you may accidentally reset the Blink or put it to sleep.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS

No two games are alike, and they all use these

techniques dierently. This booklet contains the basic

rules of all of your games, but you can also follow

ASTRO

by Daniel King, Diamond & Colby Gutierrez-Kraybill

2–4 Players | 8+ Blinks | 10-15 Min.

An asteroid eld rich with rare space ore awaits you.

Can you collect enough to ll your cargo hold before

your competition does? This action-packed space

adventure will get your jets going.

SETUP:

To begin, separate all Blinks individually, and distribute

them around the play surface to create an “Asteroid

eld.” Each player then grabs an Asteroid and long

presses it. Those Blinks will become “Ships,” ashing

brightly with their rst mission color. All players hold

their Blinks at the edge of the asteroid eld and count

down from 5. When they reach 0, the game begins.

GAMEPLAY:

There are no “turns” in Astro - all players are free

to move and mine as quickly as possible. To move,

slide your Ship around the play surface and attach to

Asteroids containing ore that matches your mission

color. When you attach, you will automatically begin

mining. Ore will disappear from the asteroid and

appear on your ship. Then you are free to disconnect

and continue movin
