    Back in my day, we had to literally make our own Sonic board games. I ended up making a lap-based game based off of Sonic R where up to 4 players simultaneously compete to reach 1st place. It never got past the board design, but I think if I worked on it more it would’ve features power-up monitors and alternative pathways for each player character’s unique abilities.

      There actually was an original Sonic board game by Milton Bradley, which I did have as a kid. Though it was based off the original Sonic game.

    2:32 As far as board games with unlockables, there’s a subgenre called “legacy games,” where aspects of the game change across play sessions through things like adding stickers to the board, destroying cards, etc. Those games often have sealed compartments like this one that you open when certain conditions are met.

    For those curious: many tabletop games do have a solo player mode and unlockables, just not the overly casual ones (Monopoly, Uno, Ticket to Ride)
    If anyone wants to try something beginner friendly I'd recommend Pandemic (which has a legacy version where previous games carry over) or Charterstone, where you play a group of settlers in a new land building a kingdom. The playing map starts empty but you start filling it up with buildings (in the shape of stickers) as you progress in the campaign. By the end of the game you can even scratch out/void rules if you desire. Its a pretty interesting experience.

    This game is *excellent*.
    Edit: You have to reroll every time you spend a die, unless it's a blue die, so in your example, you can't spend that 6 and the 5 without rolling again.

    Cool video, but this just gave me a random thought. Remember those Luigi casino minigames from Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros? What if there was official casino minigames in a Sonic game where Sonic could play poker or speed or something? I'd literally pay extra for that.

    While its not sonic board game related, I do remember making a few games with Legos when I was younger. One of which was a board game where i believe you had to navigate the board to collect as many green balls as you could (don't ask) and the player with the most wins. Essentially Mario party, but at the time i wasn't privy on Mario party's existence yet. One if my fonder memories.
