McNeill Designs’ game You’ve been Sentenced! and Twisted Fish included in Top 101 Board Games

Feb. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Best  101 Board Games recognizes top-rated games in genres as diverse as fantasy, role playing, physical, strategy, party, and more.  This simple tool enables users to find the latest and greatest board games.

According to the folks at Best 101 Board Games, “We want to make it easy for people to discover and talk about the best board games now available. There are too many people whose idea of a board game is Monopoly, Cluedo (Clue), Risk and Scrabble. Over the last 10 – 15 years there has been a massive shift in the board game industry and the results are more enjoyable, fun, interesting and exciting board games.”
