It’s the Big Play that makes good games great!™

Making great board games for all the family

We all love to play board games and many of us here at the Big Play have fond memories of this fun (and often competitive) pastime.

You may well be able to recall times when you have triumphed in a game against your older brother, sister or best pal. How you calculated and planned, made your moves and had that little bit of luck at the right time to snatch victory from defeat (and then bragged incessantly about it afterwards).

That is what playing board games is all about.

The enjoyment and experience you have while spending time playing the board game with friends and loved ones.

Ultimately, when the game has been played, it is the shared experience that you have had with friends and family that will be remembered. (And for the really competitive winners, used as ammunition to remind everyone else just who is the best!...until the next game anyway).

Board games that transport you to a world of action and adventure

A great aspect of playing board games is that they have the ability to transport you out of your daily routines into a world populated by heroes and champions.

The Big Play creates detailed worlds in which players can take part in the action.

Our games can be played in an ‘every now and again’ way suitable for one-offs, family get-togethers and ad-hoc games evenings.

Or you and your friends can immerse yourselves in the game world and turn the game into a regular hobby, creating characters with stories of their own, gaining in power with their experiences from game to game. Taking part in a campaign or series of linked games is a very satisfying experience and one that really lets you develop your creativity and thinking power. The additional depth of the hobby aspect involves you in strategic thinking beyond just the moves during a game, taking you into how to develop your team or character long term.

Affordable, accessible board games with lots of ‘replay’ value

The Big Play create games that can be played over and over again without becoming predictable.

By publishing the games in a downloadable format you can print and create as many components and board sections as you wish. For example minizoomerz™, our first release, is a motor racing game which uses tiles to create the tracks and circuits. Players can play across some of the designs that we recommend or enjoy many hours of entertainment simply designing new courses to race over.

Every game can be different every time.

Many people now have their own PCs and desktop printers at home so accessing downloadable files is becoming a commonplace activity around the world.

By publishing our games as downloads we can avoid much of the production cost of a boxed edition allowing you to purchase our games and expansions at a fraction of the cost of boxed games. You can enjoy professionally designed games without the trip to the shops or huge amounts of excess packaging.

Playing board games for fun, fun, fun

Above all else playing board games is fun and if we can help put a smile on you and your family and friends faces once in a while then we have done our jobs right.

We hope you enjoy playing our games as much as we enjoy developing them.

Good luck and have fun.

May your next move be The Big Play that wins the game!
