Indigoextra has also illustrated three other boardgames, Liar Liar and Eurobabble, both created by Pants on Fire Games in the UK and a third game that which will shortly be in production but currently remains secret. Allison also illustrates children's books and provides numerous other illustrations for websites, book covers, promotional material and logos.

In 2013 we designed the board game for PLYT for Talkplaces Ltd, a fast paced and exciting game to help children with maths and in particular multiplication.

Ian at Talkplaces gave us the following testimonial:

"I recently worked with Indigoextra to produce the artwork for my new board game PLYT and I was extremely pleased with the results.   As this was my first board game I was venturing into unchartered territory but fortunately, Allison and the team were able to point me in the right direction and give me invaluable advice along the way.   When issues arose, I was always provided with a great service and really quick turnaround which was really important to me.   I would happily recommend Indigoextra and am looking forward to working with them again for my next product."
