00:00:00
Speaker 1: Well, our next guests join us in the studio, Luke and Grace. And Grace is 10 years old and has developed a card game to play at home with the family. It's called Five to Fetch. Grace and Luke, thank you so much for joining us.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:00:15
Speaker 1: Grace, how did you come up with the idea for Five to Fetch?
00:00:19
Speaker 3: Well, it all started a couple of years ago. I was playing around with this pack of cards and I had this idea for a game called And so I made my own cards for it. And so I played with them with my family for a bit. And then dad encouraged me to design cards on Canva and print them out onto business cards. So that's what I did. And so I played with them for about nine months. And then I started this year. That encouraged me to go even further to make my game Five to Fetch into a game that others can play as well, not just family.
00:01:04
Speaker 4: Wow, that's amazing. I wasn't inventing anything when I was your age. So is it easy to explain? How does the game work?
00:01:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Five to Fetch is a card collecting game. We have to race to collect a set of one of the six pups. You're trying to get five in a row of one of them. It's a really simple and easy game that everyone can play.
00:01:26
Speaker 4: Wow, that's extraordinary.
00:01:29
Speaker 1: I've never heard of a card game with dogs as well, so I think that would be very appealing for a lot of people.
00:01:34
Speaker 4: Do you have a pet dog?
00:01:35
Speaker 3: No, but I do really want one.
00:01:39
Speaker 2: I love it.
00:01:40
Speaker 1: And so, Luke, can I ask you, as Grace's dad, when did you realise she was onto something and you thought this would be a cool game that other people would like to play, not just us in the house?
00:01:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, as soon as we started playing it, she created an amazing game where– We were engaged. And then as she continued to evolve the game, she was changing the rules. She was changing the cards. She was creating wild cards and block cards. And as she was doing that, it was just getting more and more engaging. You know, the interactions between the family were getting more and more fun. And we just never got sick of it. So after all that time of playing it, like every night after dinner for like nine months, we just thought, you know what, this is a really great game and we can get onto this.
00:02:24
Speaker 4: I've just Googled it. Yeah, Grace.
00:02:26
Speaker 5: How does it feel to see Five to Fetch available to buy in stores? That must be quite amazing.
00:02:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does feel really awesome to see my game next to other professional games. It really is.
00:02:41
Speaker 1: Well, your game is a professional game.
00:02:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, your game is as professional as anyone else's.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: It's on the shelf next to Monopoly. I found out about this through Jackie at the Moonta Collective because it's stocked. there at the Moonta Collective.
00:02:53
Speaker 4: So you've got a few.
00:02:54
Speaker 1: Stores around Adelaide stocking it and it's available online.
00:02:58
Speaker 4: It must be pretty cool.
00:02:59
Speaker 1: What do your friends think about it?
00:03:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very supportive. My cousins have helped me out with markets. So yeah, they're very supportive to me.
00:03:12
Speaker 1: That's great.
00:03:13
Speaker 4: Having invented it, does that mean you always win when you play?
00:03:19
Speaker 3: Some of the time.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: Do you ever have to.
00:03:26
Speaker 4: Really try hard to win, Luke? As a parent, you think, oh, I want to let my kids win, but not too much. I know.
00:03:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, that stopped a while ago. The family pick on me. They all gang up on me. So, yeah, there's no mercy now.
00:03:39
Speaker 4: Where did Grace get the gift of the gab from? She speaks remarkably well. You speak so well, Grace.
00:03:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do.
00:03:45
Speaker 4: Thank you.
00:03:45
Speaker 2: Her mother and I are both teachers.
00:03:47
Speaker 4: Okay. Yeah, we spend a lot of time talking. Some professional education in the household. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it helps.
00:03:54
Speaker 1: So people can go online and check it out or go into one of the stores that stock it and maybe a good Christmas present.
00:04:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be an awesome Christmas present. It's very good if you've got grandchildren or cousins or for Christmas presents or birthday presents.
00:04:15
Speaker 5: We've been doing this show for a lot of years and one of the sort of mission statements of it always is that we like promoting South Australian businesses and people that have starting things and creating things in SA. We've never spoken to a 10 year old about that before. Grace, thank you for coming in. Thank you for inventing this game.
00:04:29
Speaker 4: It's so cool. Well done. Thank you.
