"I fell in love with the sport of disc golf during COVID; the idea of it being a board game came to me when I was touring my province, cramming 25 courses into 8 days. When I got home, I researched the available board games that catered to disc golfers and realized that A) The sport is exploding, and B) nothing celebrated the mechanics of the sport in a way that players deserved.

I wanted as many aspects of the real-life experience of playing disc golf to be reflected in a tabletop experience. I wanted beginners to be able to play with ease, while advanced players could apply their knowledge of disc flight, course management, and overal tournament strategy to the game. I wanted to balance the skill players can accumulate with the randomness that occurs out on the course from wind, the direction of ricocheted discs, and all the things that can happen when you have to chance to putt, or score from a distance.

Board gamers new to disc golf can expect to play with pieces they've never seen before; they'll appreciate the art and will love the story the discs tell in the air as they follow their flight path. Whether they know it or not, they will be learning the sport of disc golf at an advanced level. If they ever decide to play the sport in real life, they will have the advantage of being exposed to high level strategy and all the different types of throws that can be made.

Disc golfers can expect a disc flight physics engine that fulfills all of their hopes and dreams. They will be able to visualize every turn as if they were on the course, and they will be all too familiar with the hero moments and the tragedies that occur in CHAINS. A talented disc golfer tells a success story with their discs, and this game will let you do exactly that.

Professional players that bring this game on tour with them will be able to enjoy this social activity while keeping their mind sharp and resting their bodies during long multi day tournaments.

There is no other tabletop game out there with such a robust interactive flight physics engine; you don't want to miss this one!"
