  1. Miscellaneous: If any provision of the Official Rules or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of the Official Rules, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that the Official Rules shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable so as to give effect to Sponsor’s intent. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use, and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.

Once submitted, Entry cannot be updated, revised or supplemented by entrant.

 

  1.   WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: There are two (2) phases to the Winner Selection Process: 1) Sponsor Judging and 2) Consumer Voting.

 

  1.     Sponsor Judging: At the completion of the Entry Period, on or about October 29, 2021 (the “Sponsor Judging Date”), Sponsor and its designees will judge each of the Entries and will assign a point-value between zero (0) (lowest) and fifty (50) (highest) for each Entry.  Each eligible Entry will be judged based on the following criteria:
  • Essential Elements of a Snap Ships® Product: 0 – 10 points: Does it contain essential elements of a Snap Ships(R) Product such as wings and a fuselage?
  •  Aesthetic Appeal: 0 – 20 points: Does the ship look sleek and battle worthy?
  • Uniqueness of Design: 0 – 20 points: Was there an unexpected, fun, or innovative use of the Snap Ships® Product?

The top two (2) Entries (with the most points) shall be named the “finalists” for the purpose of the Contest and will be included in the Consumer Voting phase.

 

 

  1.     Consumer Voting: Between November 1, 2021 and November 2, 2021 (the “Consumer Voting Period”), the two (2) finalists’ Entries will be featured in a “Stories Poll” on each of the Social Platforms. Consumers will be encouraged to view and vote for their favorite one (1) of the finalist’s Entries in the Stories Poll. The Sponsor will determine the Grand Prize winner based on which finalist’s Entry received the most votes in total in the Stories Poll (combining both Social Platforms) during the Consumer Voting Period.

 

The Entry with the most votes in the Stories Poll at the conclusion of the Consumer Voting Period shall be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner (subject to verification, including verification of age). Votes are accrued when consumers push the “Vote” button for the specific Entry in the Stories Poll on a Social Platform.  Votes may only be cast during the Consumer Voting Period and must be cast on the official Stories Poll on one (1) or both of the Social Platforms. Comments made to a finalist’s Entry post do not count as votes. Rankings of votes displayed on a Stories Poll are not binding upon Sponsor and may be modified at any time without notice prior to Prize award.  An Entrant is a potential winner only if he/she has been notified by Sponsor to such effect; the vote count for an Entry on the counts in a Stories Poll is NOT proof of winning. Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding in all respects and Sponsor reserves the right to discount votes and disqualify Entrants outright should acts of fraud or manipulation of any kind of the Consumer Voting Period of the Contest be suspected. Manipulation is any act with the intention of undermining the integrity and legitimate operation of the Contest and includes but is not limited to Entrants promising a benefit in exchange for a vote for his/her photo (or for NOT voting for another Entrant’s video.) Sponsor is not responsible for any loss or derogation of quality of the Entry due to technological limitations or any other reason when it is posted in the Stories Poll and has the right to control the placement and orientation of the Entry in the Stories Poll (including rotation of the position of Entries in the Stories Poll during the Consumer Voting Period.)

 

The potential Grand Prize winner will be notified by Direct Message (or similar private communication) on the applicable Social Platform on which they entered on or about November 3, 2021 (the “Notification Date”) and will be required to execute and return required documents as detailed below. If any Prize correspondence is returned as non-deliverable, Prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF ENTRANT TO CONFIGURE HIS/HER SOCIAL MEDIA PRIVACY SETTINGS SO AS TO ACCEPT DIRECT MESSAGES (OR SIMILAR PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS) FROM SPONSOR’S OFFICIAL ACCOUNT(S) ON THE SOCIAL PLATFORM(S) USED BY THE ENTRANT TO ENTER THE CONTEST.

  1. Miscellaneous: If any provision of the Official Rules or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of the Official Rules, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that the Official Rules shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable so as to give effect to Sponsor’s intent.

PlayMonster and Lynnvander Studios Reveal Snap Ships Tactics: A Battle Strategy Board Game at Gen Con

Combined

Award-Winning Build-to-Battle Brand Teases 2022 Strategy Game and Wave 3 Ships at Gen Con

BELOIT, Wis. (September 15, 2021) — PlayMonster, in collaboration with Design Partner Lynnvander Studios, announced today the development of Snap Ships Tactics: a constructible, expandable, multiplayer battle game where players create custom Snap Ships and bring them to life on a tabletop battlefield. PlayMonster and Lynnvander Studios will offer an exclusive sneak peek of this disruptive new board game at Gen Con 2021, where attendees will gain a rare chance to see the game in action. Attendees will also get a chance to preview Wave 3 ships ahead of their fall release.

Snap Ships Tactics will be the first Tabletop gaming experience to launch from the award-winning Snap Ships brand. While Snap Ships Tactics will be previewed at Gen Con, this is just the start of what fans can expect from Snap Ships. A Kickstarter campaign is planned for 2022, where fans will be invited to influence the final game design and receive teasers and Snap Ships exclusives along the way. Fans can join the Snap Ships email list here to be the first to learn about the Kickstarter campaign, along with key updates about product arrivals and more.

“We’ve long dreamed of a tabletop game with fully customizable, modular miniatures where every model you play with reflects the unique abilities of the ship or mech you’re piloting,” said Scott Pease and Jeff Swenty, co-inventors of Snap Ships. “With Snap Ships Tactics we can finally make that vision come to life.”

“Snap Ships is a fun toy line my kids and I have enjoyed for some time now. It is truly an immersive play experience that has wide appeal,” said Thomas Gofton of Lynnvander Studios. “We’re excited to partner with PlayMonster and the great team behind Snap Ships, to take this world to the next level with Snap Ships Tactics. We can’t wait to see what unique builds players will create from this game.”

“Snap Ships has been an award-winning, consumer-favorite since we launched, so we wanted to reward those fans with a transformative game that fuses build-to-battle components with the idea of expansion,” said Scott Flynn, VP Sales & Marketing at PlayMonster. “The innovative game mechanics designed by Lynnvander fully capitalize on the unique aspects of the Snap Ships universe.  We can’t wait to share more about it with Snap Ships fans.”

Gen Con attendees can play an early version of Snap Ships Tactics at the Lynnvander HQ Booth in Hall C and expand their Snap Ships fleet at the Snap Ships Booth #2222 at Gen Con Indy from September 16–19, 2021.
