About the invention

Nexxt Play is a trading card football game created by Taj Martin and launched with SEAL (Sports Elite Athlete League) at thesealfootball.com/tcg. Real youth athletes. Build your deck. Call your plays. Beat the CPU. The game is already built and live — over 1,000 kids have played it so far. Taj's dream is simple: a kid buys a pack of cards, sees THEMSELVES in the pack, and goes home to play a friend. Every development stage is complete. The only step left is ordering the first physical card packs and turning the game into a real business that can be marketed and sold in stores. That is what this campaign funds: the first print run of card packs. Every contribution goes directly toward manufacturing card packs so Nexxt Play can reach store shelves and kids everywhere.

The spark · where the idea came from

“Taj had access to football information through his dad, who runs a youth football company. Inspired by simple head-to-head games like rock-paper-scissors and shadow boxing, Taj imagined turning real youth football players into trading cards that could compete against one another. From there, the rules, cards, and game all came together. Taj used Claude Code and worked with his dad to develop Nexxt Play into a game where kids can see themselves in the pack and play their friends.”
