There is a social consensus that More smalls pass too many hours in front of TV, computer either tablets. Finding new forms of play that do without these devices is a goal of many: in this way, we do our bit to humanize relationships. This is the goal of Plakks and his game project, something like a customizable mini table football, which he just released
Plakks: a simple and addictive game
The football was a creation of Alexander Finisterre so that those injured children who could not play could do so with a board game. The project of Plakks follows the trail of guaranteeing the game, but with a smaller table and with the fingers as protagonists. In this way, players can transport it wherever they see fit. The playing field is made with wood, mat and plastic and is designed for two people. The main idea is to combine quality, versatility and ease of use.
play Plakks it is extremely easy. are arranged two teams (customizable by means of stickers that imitate the jerseys of the soccer teams) in fixed points and you have to push the ball with your fingers. The main difference with other systems is that for every goal we score, the opposing team has to remove a player. Another added advantage is that, since it weighs little, it will be much easier to carry from one place to another. You have game for home, but also for your vacations or field day.
“We realized that today’s entertainment is mostly based on screens. Face-to-face interaction, laughter with your friends, family chat time is being lost” assure Haritz Mugica and Jordi Domingueztwo young entrepreneurs who seek to combine the use of tablets and mobile phones with games such as Plakks and reduce the time adults and children spend in front of screens by 90 hours a year.
Looking for funding through Kickstarter
The objective to be reached by Plakks is to €10,000, which must be obtained before June 11, 2019. You have to know that the first people who contribute money will have a 50% discount.
The project offers an alternative to those people who spend a lot of time in front of screens. Not in vain, there are already studies like those of The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health What do you suggest less cognitive development in those kids what’s going on two or more hours a day playing with arcade machines. It has never been so easy to meet other people but, on the other hand, we are losing direct contact with others.
In this sense, we consider that Plakks can contribute a value added for the entire family. If we manage to reduce the time of exposure to computers, tablets or mobile phones, we will be helping to stimulate creativity.
The precedents of success on Kickstarter
In reality, Plakks is not the first Spanish project to opt for Kickstarter crowdfunding for financing. This same year we told you about the incredible success story of a new sneaker brand led by Alberto Espinós that, in just 6 months, has managed to raise more than three million euros, breaking all records on the platform.
Plakks is a game option aimed at making the world a little better. The project is raised from that need to offer alternatives so that the little ones (and older ones) can play without having to be in front of an electronic device all day. If you are interested, it can be a good option to put your grain of sand and benefit from the discounts.
