Drag Ball: The Game is an original idea, with 12 unique drag queen characters. These fierce queen personalities are picked by players as their identity in the game. With drag names like Rita B. Itch, Ginny Tonic, and Shay DeLady, there is a drag persona for everybody. Each player competes to improve their Tenacity, Wit, Aesthetic, and Tricks. The cherry on top of this game board sundae is that Chad Sell (the famed artist who designs some of our favorite Drag Race queen artwork) is the artist for the Drag Ball: The Game characters. Chad Sell's artwork brings the game and its characters to life! Pictured below are the 12 game characters:
James Campbell, the creator of the game, had the following to say about Drag Ball:
“I wanted to make sure that this game was a legitimate existence of its own,” he explains. “That’s why I went back to the roots. After watching Paris Is Burning, the famous documentary about the drag balls of the 1980s, I came to see that, at its core, our favorite show is just one big Drag Ball. Reading, shade, voguing, runway stomping… it’s all an homage to where today’s drag grew up. The show embraces that piece of herstory… my game does, too. It’s all given with love.”
