Yotta Know...

Welcome to Yotta Play - We are a father and son creative team with decades of experience in the advertising and entertainment industries, driven to create games that entertain, challenge, and inspire.  Our mascot, the platypus, perfectly captures our design philosophy.  A platypus is nature’s ultimate hybrid — a wonderful, unexpected blend of different elements that somehow works perfectly.  That same spirit of unique, hybrid design is exactly what we strive for in our games." 

Our History - Created in 1982 by Ken Jacobson, Yotta Play began with a family educational board game series known simply as Yotta.  The concept was brilliantly modular: a single base board paired with separately sold card packs that taught players different subjects through engaging, competitive play.  From Birds - Mammals - Stars and Planets - The Bible,  Yotta presented endless possibilities.  Today, we are renewing our drive to expand the Yotta library by bringing these classic games back in a modern digital format.

Introducing Blindside - Our newest project is Blindside — a game that builds upon the foundations of Chess and Checkers to create an entirely unique hybrid of these globally popular games.  We’ve taken the simple, intuitive movement of Checkers and combined it with the strategic depth of Chess.  The result?  A game that is easy to learn, challenging to master, and incredibly fun to play.

Playtest With Us - Blindside is currently in its active testing stage, and we want your feedback.  You can play our latest web-based prototype right now.  We invite you to share the link, test your strategies, critique the mechanics, and join our mailing list for future updates.

What’s Next? - Our vision for Blindside includes a fully featured online app with forums, leaderboards, and multiplayer tournaments, alongside a premium physical board game release for players who appreciate tactile, face-to-face gameplay.

Thanks for joining us and have fun!
