Fire Noodle Eating Champs is a collaboration between tabletop game designer, Jason ToToTam, and video game developer, Wombok Games.Ā
Wombok Games created Fire Noodle Eating Champs the video game at theĀ Game-A-Week Game JamĀ and showcased it at theĀ Sabbatical Gallery.Ā
I played the video game at the event and I was inspired to create a tabletop game. With my background in the board games industry, I made some prototypes,Ā took them to conventions all around Australia and launched a Kickstarter raising $14750.Ā
