THE BIG SALE ... ALL EXPANSIONS REDUCED IN PRICE ... GO TO STORE TO CHECK THEM OUT
_______________________________________

My work on Pyrates is complete and I don't consider it good enough to publish. Therefore it will remain a single copy prototype unless I have some great ideas on how to improve it.

I have resumed the work on Imperialism - the zenith of Empires. Out of all the designs that I have been working on over the last few years, this is the one that creates the most interest and for me it would be a real achievement to get this published.

___________________________________________________________

The World Cup Rugby Game is very much on hold, not least because
the governing body of the event have basically told me that I cannot
produce a game based on the Rugby World Cup. I received a letter from
last year asking not to consider publishing such a game to protect the rights of
their sponsers. They requested that I pay them a lot of money and offer a
Business plan which, for just 1000 copies of a board game is not worth the
time and effort if it is rejected.
So in order not to fall foul of the RWC I have decided to drop the idea for now.

Innovative Board Games Designer

The company was established in 2006 by Shaun Derrick, a well known games enthusiast with over 30 years of experience playing games, organising games conventions, moderator of many games and attending international games events.

Shaun has designed several games over the years but The World Cup Game is the first he has published independently. The game re-creates the 1930 or 2002 World Cup tournaments with all the other tournaments becoming available as expansions.

With ALL expansions now published, Every World Cup tournament is now available. For 2010, there is also a World Cup CARD Game which brings you all the excitement of the World Cup Board game in a Card game!

A special thank you goes to William Barron, Shaun's business mentor for the encouragment and guidance.
