Creative Child Magazine Names Twisted Fish
Best Family Game of the Year

Wilmington, Delaware -- Creative Child Magazine recently named McNeill Designs’ original game “Twisted Fish” the Best Family Game of the Year for 2007. Creative Child Magazine is a bi-monthly publication that provides parents with the latest information on how to nurture their child's creativity.

As Best Family Game of the Year 2007, Twisted Fish was one of over 1,000 products reviewed by Creative Child Magazine’s play testers and a panel of judges including psychologists and educators.

The game, released in 2006, takes the old favorite “Go Fish” and casts it into the 21st century. “Twisted Fish offers guaranteed laugh-out-loud fun for the entire family and features outrageously humorous fishy characters, as well as tantalizingly unpredictable Zinger cards,” says company President Martin Uniacke.

Twisted Fish also showcases original illustrations by Hollywood special-effects artist Jody Fedele, providing a unique glimpse of what’s really going on under the sea. “The characters parody the good (and bad!) in human behavior,” explains Fedele, “and keep players laughing at their fishy antics.”

Game play also involves the use of “Zinger cards” which offer a unique opportunity for a complete reversal of fortune. “The inclusion of the Zingers means that game play is unpredictable and your luck can change at any moment,” says Uniacke. “Divine Intervention,” “Two-Fisted Fisherman,” and “Dead Scuba Diver” are just a few examples of hilarious Zinger cards that add an extra element of fun, suspense, and difficulty.

Founded in 2004, McNeill Designs’ 40+ person creative team produces games and toys of all kinds. “Although we’re officially a game and toy development company, internally, we prefer to call ourselves a think “tank” – pun intended” says company Chairman Donald McNeill.

In addition to Twisted Fish, the firm has also created the wildly popular sentence-forming game You’ve been Sentenced! the licensed Reader’s Digest Word Power Challenge game, based on the magazine’s popular Word Power page, as well as numerous specialty Add-On Decks for You’ve been Sentenced! each of which focus on a particular theme, such as Pop Culture, Sports and more.
