Free Board Game at The Big Play™

The Big Play Limited, a new midlands based family business creating downloadable board games for all ages, is launching its first board game - minizoomerz™, for free. The basic game, available at http://www.minizoomerz.com, introduces players to the world of miniature motor racing where they ‘zoom’ around a circuit constructed from a series of track tiles printed from their home PC.

The download of the minizoomerz basic game, suitable for 10 years and above, is launched along with a supporting accessory pack which contains plastic miniature racing cars, dice and special ability cards. A downloadable expansion set, the Wild Canyons Toolkit, expands the range of track tiles and adds several new features to the game. The accessory pack and expansion set are both available online at a pocket money price point.

Carl Brown, Managing Director comments,"There is a huge amount of replay value with minizoomerz. The 'print and play' approach allows players to print as many board sections and components as they want to use. With the addition of the expansion ‘Toolkits’ players can design their own tracks and circuits, which is great fun in itself, racing over a different layout every time".

Further expansions for minizoomerz are already in development including several more Toolkits and the Championship Rules which will introduce driver skills, vehicle upgrades and a championship system enabling players to run their own racing teams over a series of linked races.

Over the coming months The Big Play plan on launching a series of other titles in addition to minizoomerz so that there will be something for everyone to print and play.
