THE STORY BEHIND

BACKCHECKERS© is a hockey-themed strategy game where two players compete head-to-head. Roll the dice, out-position your opponent, and score your way to victory!

​

OVERVIEW: Our mission was to create a compact version of hockey that we could play anywhere on-the-go, and now you can with BACKCHECKERS© 

-

As young kids, we tried to entertain ourselves while traveling place to place playing hockey. The problem? We wanted to play hockey even when we were off the ice. That only left videos games (hard to take with you on the road) and mini sticks, which ended up with someone injured before the next game, not to mention noisy in the hotel. So we ended up picking up a cheap board game from the dollar store, those games never even made it back home with us.

Then it hit us like a 6'5, 250Ib Enforcer, create our own hockey board game! 

This is how hockey excitement unfolds anytime and anywhere! Battle for possession, backcheck to make the winning save, breakaway to score the winning goal, a board game made by hockey lovers for hockey lovers!

​

THE GAME: Face-off, battle for possession & positional advantage.

Two players compete to 5 goals. Shoot to score, your opponent can always backcheck to stop your shot. Protect the net, out position, land on shooting spaces for a chance to score, but beware, a missed shot leaves you with no defense & a chance for your opponent to strike back. Find your strategy & challenge your friends in this head-to-head hockey board game!
