We had a ton of fun creating these rabbit pirates for Roosterfin Games back in the day. So for #ThrowbackThursday, we're sharing some of the fun art and characters from the fun family game.

Bringing another blast from the past for #ThrowBackThursday. Rooster Race was a ton of fun to help develop, design & illustrate. This was one of the first games we helped bring into the world many years ago.

Here's a blast from the past for #ThrowBackThursday. This goes back a long ways when we were both fresh out of toy school at FIT (where we met). We designed & created these boards for Toymax.
