After a long Kickstarter campaign it's been nice to decompress and by decompress I mean finish up illustrations for more cards! I still love to draw and all the art for the Best Eleven Expansion is now finished!

You may have noticed Best Eleven in the background of Iain's latest videos! Thanks for taking a look Iain!
We love a board game over here and Best Eleven looks like a lot of fun. Lots of familiar names involved. It's into its final 24 hours on Kickstarter, so check it out.
No money has exchanged hands here, btw, we just like fun stuff.

First international break of the club season and not a fun time to be a USMNT fan. Hopefully they get it together for the World Cup next year. Luckily Best Eleven doesn’t take an international break and you can play it whenever you want! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

Excited to share that Best Eleven has funded on Kickstarter! If you haven't checked it out, what are you waiting for?! The better it does the more likely I get to do projects like this again and work with more talented artists!

At 98% funded! Go grab your copy today! Not only is it a fun game, Best Eleven wouldn’t be the same without the incredible art by 9 real life artists! Psyched to bring so many talented artists I admire together on one project.

This looks like a lot of fun, takes me back to my younger years playing football board games like Emlyn Hughes Team Tactix. Hope it gets enough support.
Best Eleven is now live on Kickstarter! I worked really hard on this and I can't wait for everyone to play!

New review of Best Eleven!
"I honestly think this game has universal appeal. It’s probably true that football fans will get more out of it due to the theme. But the theme shouldn’t put anyone off trying it as there is a great game in here."

Best Eleven scoring app! Teased this in an earlier post, but here's what it looks like entering a team in to be scored. Lucky to have a dad who knows how to do this stuff and who rolled with all the changes. Thanks Dad!

Got the Best Eleven Kickstarter video back from my friends over at Boost Futbol along with some photos. The video turned out great and I can’t wait to share it, but in the mean time here's a photo from the shoot!
