McNeill Designs Launches Series of Add-On Decks
for Popular You’ve been Sentenced! Game

Wilmington, Delaware – Toy and game design firm McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds recently announced the launch of a series of five new Add-On Decks for the wildly popular game You’ve been Sentenced! The Add-On Decks encompass a wide range of interests and choices including: Sports, Gourmet, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Pop Culture, and a Reader’s Digest-licensed Word Power Challenge Add-On Deck which includes words from the perennially popular Word Power page of Reader’s Digest magazine.

“Each Add-On Deck consists of 80 new cards that offer vast choices of topic-specific words as well as special topic-specific Wild Cards,” explains company Chairman Donald McNeill. “For example, the Sports decks contains choices such as “puck,”  “ring side,” and “Larry Byrd.” The Sci-Fantasy deck contains specialty words like “phaser,” “hyperspace,” and “short sword.”

The Add-On Decks also allow for two variations of play. The cards can be mixed in with the standard game’s existing 540 cards, or used as a separate draw deck.

The Add-On Decks were developed in response to the game’s success and the repeated requests of customers to add new words. “These decks allow for players to customize You’ve been Sentenced! to their individual tastes and interests,” explains McNeill.

The original game, You’ve been Sentenced! is the recipient of numerous national awards. These include:
