Passport Game Studios has announced a fall release of Hop!, a fast-playing dexterity board game featuring beautifully painted miniatures and a 3-D multi-level game board.

Hop! is a first game for artist Marie Cardouat (Dixit) and is co-designed with games veteran Ludovic Maublanc (Mr. Jack, Cyclades, Ca$h 'n Gun$, Rampage/Terror in Meeple City). Players travel the sky, each hoping to be the first to ascend and cross paths with the legendary hippocorns. Helping other players actually can be a boon for winning the game, in this race in the sky. The beautifully designed game components and 55 mm painted miniatures are prominent features for this 3 – 6 player game, with a family-friendly age range of 6+. The game plays in under an hour.

Included in the game are one multi-level game board, six painted 55 mm miniatures, six character boards, six 2-sided Bet tokens, 30 balloons, 30 2-sided Bird tokens, 36 2-sided Cloud tokens, 50 Date cards, and two rainbows. MSRP has not been announced.

Passport Game Studios recently spotlighted another Ludovic Maublac game at Gen Con, the Lovecraft-inspired Pocket Madness, co-designed by Bruno Cathala (see "'Pocket Madness' and 'Tokaido' App").
