Kenny G-Themed Cooperative Game Announced
Big G Creative has announced a new game with a rather unusual theme. "During each round, players collect, trade, and match sound cards and move a lifelike Kenny G game piece through his day from morning to evening. Working as a team, players must overcome a series of setbacks faced by the smooth jazz artist like a lost wallet, a broken sax reed, a traffic jam in Malibu, running out of hair product, and mismatched socks."
