Star Wars Force Grab is an exciting new family game from the fast-growing game company Wonder Forge and I was thrilled to help bring it to life. I’m Jay Wheatley, executive producer, and I supervise a Seattle-based game development team of product designers, graphic artists, writers, sculptors, and engineers. Force Grab carries on the Wonder Forge tradition of offering experiences that bring favorite characters and stories to life in new and innovative ways through quality game play. Here’s a behind the scenes look at the making of this game.

We’ve been designing award-winning board games for years and had always talked about how great it would be if we could create games based on Star Wars. When the opportunity came our way, we were all so jazzed. Everyone was buzzing about the possibilities. We had made a game a few years earlier called Spotcha in which you toss these rubbery sculpted objects onto the table and they land in funny ways and, based on how they land, players race to grab scoring tokens. It was a blast to play and the objects were all random nonsense we came up with. We always knew it would be great to make the game with a familiar brand so all the objects would be recognizable things people would want to own and feel in their hands. Star Wars was a perfect match and the game was a great way to combine a bunch of different iconic characters, ships, and props from the six movies.
