Mimicking the management of a team, the game makes you a coach of a failing squad. The goal is to build up your team by doing your research in order to make  trades and transactions that will make your team grow. The immense amount of data that takes to create a successful franchise was a challenge to the design of the game. With over 1,200 questions, 80 unique player cards and 200 action cards, the game quickly becomes an organizational challenge. Between the uses of a strong palette and technical printing details such as foiling and partial coating to make certain information quickly accessible. Well defined shapes allow your eyes to identify a diverse set of elements that makes this game richly deep. We commend the Between team for a well done product that contains a depth of interaction that is easier achieved in the web than in print. A great job will keep us craving for the next adventure from this team.
