The Team
In 2005 this creativity was put to the test when we brought our first product to market. As our flagship offering, the unique card game You've been Sentenced! now sets the tone for all future McNeill Designs' endeavors. The result of thousands of man-hours in research, development, design and redesign, this game succeeds where others have failed, by making sentence forming an entertaining, challenging, fun, and easy-to-learn game.
So what will we think of next?
