About the game

Bob Ross: Art of Chill Game brings the calm, encouraging spirit of the beloved painter to the table for 2 to 4 players. Players collect art supplies cards, mix paints on their palette, and complete sections of a shared painting to score points, racing against a wandering Bob Ross figure on the painting track. Turns combine die-rolling for extra actions with hand management as players draw, play, and trade paint colors. Whoever reaches maximum chill, 30 points, first wins the game.

Hobbli's Notes

A light, cheerful family game that leans fully into its license without ever feeling like a cash grab. The palette-matching puzzle gives just enough decision-making to keep it interesting for adults, while staying simple enough for kids to jump right in.
