If you’re a fan of the serene and soothing world of Bob Ross, you’ll be thrilled to know that Target has introduced a delightful board game inspired by the beloved painter’s easy-going persona. While painting typically isn’t associated with competition, the new “Bob Ross: The Art of Chill” game invites players to channel their inner Bob and engage in a fun, friendly contest to create masterpieces before he does.
What a lovely surprise!
The game allows you and your friends to step into the shoes of the iconic artist, aiming to complete beautiful landscapes while earning “chill points” for features like Happy Little Trees and Majestic Mountains. The back of the game box describes how players can use their cards to select colors and brushes, adding a layer of strategy to the otherwise laid-back vibe of Bob’s painting philosophy. We’re not sure how “chill points” align with the concept of competition, but it definitely brings a unique twist to the game.
As you play, it’s essential to keep an eye on your opponents and plan your moves wisely. If someone else finishes a feature before you, you might want to reevaluate your strategy and adjust your painting plans. Interestingly, Bob Ross himself had a disciplined side—he was a sergeant in the Air Force, which might explain the underlying strategy in the game, despite Bob’s famously relaxed demeanor.
Throughout the game, Bob guides the pace, offering encouragement and opportunities for bonus points, reminiscent of his supportive nature on his show, “The Joy of Painting.” His gentle encouragement feels like a warm hug, reminding us all of the importance of creativity and calmness in our lives.
Now, whether or not actual painting is involved in this board game remains a bit unclear. As a parent, the thought of my kids getting messy with paint can be a cause for concern, yet the idea of introducing them to Bob’s tranquil spirit is undoubtedly appealing.
While competing to embody chill may seem paradoxical, reviving Bob Ross’s calming influence in our everyday lives is undoubtedly a win. Get ready, Bob, because I’m about to dominate this game!
