Card can be very waterproof when wax impregnated. Think about the little card cups you can buy coffee in. Criticism FAIL.

Was a hoot last night, still thought the trolley thing was a shite idea but then I don't know anything about business seeing as they got orders for 3100 units!
Agree cardboard can be very waterproof, but that item was failing by the time it got to the boardroom? Couldn't it be folded up? Looked gash, who last played a boardgame when camping anyway?

Did you see it. Even when they pitched it to Millets, it was falling apart. Fold-open board games that don't even stay flat?? Sorry, I know they were young, but that was one seriously flawed product.
As for those coffee cups, you wouldn't take them camping with you would you? Kicked around the tent floor for a few days and they're good for nothing, regardless of how waterproof they are. Criticism (of my criticism) FAIL

...not to mention the "games bring family together" pitch. Even if that were true of board games in the 21st century, last time I checked chess and drafts were 2 player games.

Having lugged camping stuff from car park to pitch at the odd festival or two, I thought it was a good idea, just not as well realised as it could have been

I'm ignoring the game side of things (I'd agree on that, though I've often taken a pack of cards camping) the "proto" in such a situation may not be waterproof but there could be ways found to fold it fairly easily. And yes, I've taken such cups camping with no problems, they weigh nothing, can be easily binned, cost nothing and I don't tend to kick my stuff about tents, it gets used and put back in a bag?

Oh, hang on...

al_f, the point was that they had pre-printed chess and drafts boards onto fold-out bits of card that were attached to their "storage games cabinet". I think Snakes and Ladders was the other one

I know, I was just being facetious.

Half the problems with business and industry today is this stupid notion of selecting potential manegment and leaders from the off, and putting them on a fast track scheme. Lets get back to getting some experiance and maturity and then moving into managment.

I think you're all missing the point.
Those are NOT children! Just wait and see, sooner or later one of them will fall down the stairs or something and then we'll see what's really inside them.
Either a dalek or a robot is my guess.

ah, sorry, just thought it was a dig at me

I think they are children samuri. Have you seen that blonde female one who appears to have found some scissors and hacked off a chunk of hair from the side of her head. That's what kids do.

That's what kids do.
And daleks and robots with no fashion sense.

Suppose. Crap robot then.

The storage thing failed because he tried to put every idea from every person into it. He's a 16-year-old lad in charge of a team of girls; I doubt he was thinking about the task.
I wish they'd let the lads wear their normal clothes. Kids in suits always look like they're playing dressy-up in their dad's clothes.
The best bit of the whole show is seeing
Sir AlanLord Sugar realise that, yet again, he's going to have to be mean to a child on national television.Posted 2 years ago # -
They're all a bit precocious. Horrible to watch.
The next Cherie Blair?
