In commemoration of this special moment in Marshall's history, Rock Science — the Rock game of the century — will release a limited edition of their wildly popular board game commemorating the 50th anniversary of Marshall Amplification.
"For a guitar aficionado this is a dream come true. 50 years of rock guitar history in one game," says Rock Science creative director Jorge Bravo.
Containing 1,600 trivia questions celebrating five centuries of loud Rock N' Roll and the iconic artists who play it, the Rock Science Marshall Game is a unique collaborative effort.
Rock Science is a board game for 2-6 players. The goal is to be the first to finish one lap around the board through the use of Rock knowledge, clever betting and a bit of luck. Players answer questions about anecdotes, myths, rockers, albums, songs and sex, amps and Rock N' Roll. You can also be asked to hum the riffs of well-known Rock songs.
- All questions have three levels of difficulty: Poser, Fan and Scientist. Poser questions are easier so anyone can join the game!
- All players are always involved since they bet on each other's Rock knowledge.
- With intuitive rules and fast gameplay it's quick (60 minutes) and easy to learn
About Rock Science: Rock Science delivers games to a dedicated target group — rockers. The board game is the first product in the Rock Science family and is today sold in various language versions in the USA, the U.K., Germany, and Scandinavia. Nuday AB, the company behind Rock Science, was founded in 2010 by rocker Jorge Bravo and gamer Sven Folkesson, with headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.

Today is a sad day in Heavy Music, "The Father Of Loud", Jim Marshall died yesterday (April 5) in London, England at the age of 88. The inventor of the groundbreaking Marshall Amplifier, had cancer and endured a series of strokes, including several that were severe, his son, Terry Marshall said.
“My wife and I were with him when he passed away,” said Terry. “He got cancer toward the end of last year, and had surgery for that, and it came back. He was in a terrible state the last five or six weeks. He’s in a much better place now.”
Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash commented; "The news of Jim Marshall passing is deeply saddening. R & R will never be the same without him. But, his amps will live on FOREVER!"
Known as "The Father of Loud" or "The Lord of Loud", Jim Marshall was an English businessman, and pioneer of guitar amplification. His company, Marshall Amplification, is used by some of the biggest names in rock, producing amplifiers with an iconic status. Marshall received an OBE honour for "services to the music industry and to charity". Marshall has been listed as one of the four forefathers of Rock music equipment along with Leo Fender, Les Paul and Seth Lover.
Jim, thank you for changing music forever and may your soul Rock In Peace! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jim's family, friends, and everyone at Marshall Amps!
