The true story behind the creation of Toss Across:
I’ve got this great idea.
Okay…
So what’s everyone’s favorite game of all time?
I don’t know. Monopoly? Risk
No, of ALL TIME!
Slow down, Kanye. Uh, chess? Checkers? Backgammon?
Who the **** likes Backgammon? Nobody plays Backgammon. Backgammon is ****ing stupid.
Okay, I get it: you don’t like Backgammon—
The correct answer was Tic-Tac-Toe.
Fine. What about Tic-Tac-Toe?
Now, what is everyone’s favorite thing to do?
(long sigh) Just tell me.
Lobbing beanbags at a target.
What? This already sounds like the worst idea ever.
No, just listen. If you combine Tic-Tac-Toe with lobbing beanbags, what do you get?
Hollywood Squares? But with the ability to hurl something at Whoopi when she’s not funny? That’s genius!
You’re getting warmer…
