Cryptozoic Announces Challenge Of The Superfriends Card Game

Cryptozoic Announces Challenge Of The Superfriends Card Game

, , , , , 0

Superfriends ran on multiple networks throughout its decade-plus existence. Superheroes and comic books were as popular with children as they’ve ever been, but under the heavy thumb of strict Saturday Morning censorship, this kind of silly camp was about all you could do with DC superheroes in the 70s and early 80s. These days, with Zack Snyder’s grimdark universe representing Superman and Batman on the big screen, Superfriends has a quaint charm to it. Now you and your own team of Superfriends can ride a seahorse, battle giant gorillas, halt the flow of building-sized lasers, and thwart the Legion of Doom in Cryptozoic’s Challenge of the Superfriends card game. The Superfriends have gathered at the Hall of Justice to take on the challenge of thirteen of the most sinister villains of all time. Play your cards right and you’ll defeat the Legion of Doom! Based on the classic animated TV show, Challenge of the Superfriends Card Game utilizes Cryptozoic’s new GRYPHON card game engine to deliver a fast-paced, easy-to-learn tabletop

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales was released by CD Projekt Red late last month on Steam. Upon its release the game received rave reviews, which you can see in CD Projekt’s new Accolades Trailer below. Thronebreaker is a spinoff of the Gwent card game that tells a new tale set in Geralt’s universe. The story takes over 30 hours to experience in its entirety, and that’s not counting the 75-plus side quests that are optional. “The team has poured much love, passion and hard work into making Thronebreaker a true-born RPG, and a Witcher world adventure to boot,” says Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, game director at CD Projket Red. “I hope that players will enjoy the experience we’ve prepared for them — from the mature, choice-driven tale it tells, to the characters they’ll meet on their journey, to challenging puzzles and story-driven battles.” CD Projekt Red offered some extra bonuses for those who preordered the game. They’ve announced that these bonuses will also apply to those who buy the game during its post-launch

Two thoughts run through your mind when you’re staring at the box for Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Card Game: There wasn’t a Scott Pilgrim card game already? Shouldn’t there have been one out six years ago? Where is the new wave of cartoony, humor-based comic books that Scott Pilgrim should have heralded? Lumberjanes isn’t enough!

Renegade Game Studios is producing this better-late-than-never product, and here’s how it works. Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Card Game is a deckbuilding game that challenges you to grow up and prepare for your finest hour.

Those who have played The Witcher 3 know of Gwent, the card game Gerald can play in multiple locations within the larger game. Since it was plausible for Gwent to be produced as an actual card game….it was. Now it’s time for all that practice to pay off, as a real-life Gwent Tournament has been announced. CD Projekt Red, the studio that developed The Witcher 3 (and by extension Gwent) is behind Gwent Challenger. This isn’t the first Gwent competition to ever be held, but it is the first official one. Paweł Burza, Community Manager at CD Projekt Red, said “It’s a real privilege to observe how active Gwent players are in the realm of competitive gaming. Community-powered tournaments like The Passiflora Championship, The Seven Cats Brawl or The Gwentlemen’s Open are a source of inspiration for the entire team, and we definitely want this part of Gwent to grow.” “GWENT: The Witcher Card Game was created because The Witcher community wanted it. Now we’re seeing more and more gamers

I AM: The First Animated Card Game

I AM: The First Animated Card Game

, , , , 0

There’s as new card game about to go on sale that advertises itself as “animated.” How is that possible? Wouldn’t that be a terrible strain on the animators’ wrists? Well, it works this way: the cards contain images on them, and if you collect all 12 in a set, you can flip ’em to create animations. Your goal is to track down a complete set before the other players do. Each player is dealt 12 cards, which can be changed by drawing or rejecting other cards from the pack. A player wins a single hand by collecting a minimum of 6 matching planet cards, 6 matching Zodiac cards or a run of 6 numbered planet cards. They do not have to declare their hand at this stage however, as they might prefer waiting to collect a full ‘I AM’ hand, which will effectively win the entire game outright! A full ‘I AM’ hand is a run of all 12 matching planet cards, at which point the player declares ‘I AM’

Pretty much everything that you can print Batman on has been sold already, including several variations of a Batman card game…but wheover created THIS one, I have to tip my metaphorical hat to. They knew what they were doing. This is a Batman: The Animated Series card game, but one clearly created by a fan…it’s based on a specific episode. In “Almost Got ‘Im” Gotham’s rogue’s gallery sat around a poker table, swapping stories of their most nearly successful attempts at ridding themselves of the Dark Knight. Not only was one of the original run’s best ideas, it lends itself to the card game format better than any other episode. What a genius product! In order to explain the rules, I’m going to have to spoil the episode, so if you somehow haven’t seen it yet, please do so before reading on. “Almost Got ‘Im” plays like a hybrid of Poker and Werewolf. Each player assumes a villain’s identity and….one of them is secretly Batman, but you don’t know which

“Great Scott!” Is The Best Name For A Card Game Ever

“Great Scott!” Is The Best Name For A Card Game Ever

, , , 0

You have to love a card game based around inventors that calls itself “Great Scott!” The backstory is that a big contest is taking place in Victorian England to decide which gadget-making genius shall earn the title of the Queen’s Royal Inventor. To build their devices, players use cards marked with nouns, adjectives and adverbs to craft the most outrageous inventions. Winner is the one with the craziest! This is another crowdfunded project, but unlike most of the type we call attention to here, this one’s already done. It’s ready for purchase right now! Check out some of the rules… Players take on the roles of slightly unhinged inventors and construct ridiculous contraptions using Asset and Concept cards in various categories: Animal, Mineral, Vegetable, and Productive, Destructive, and Transportive. After 5 rounds of drafting, each player presents their invention to the other players, who must award secret commendation points to their favourites. The presentation phase is the heart of the game, with each player describing one of almost a billion

Who Wants To Crowdfund Some Raccoon Madness?

Who Wants To Crowdfund Some Raccoon Madness?

Here’s a game whose three German creators say was inspired by “Tim Burtons art, [an] old USSR game and Texas Holdem Poker.” It’s Raccoon Madness, where all the cards are crazy spoofs of popular media. It’s currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter and is nearly at its funding goal with a full month left to go (28 days; that full month is February). Some of the oldest and most enduring card games in history have had “lying” mechanics, such as Poker. Raccoon Madness plays as a combination of Poker and Go Fish, where the goal is to get rid of all your cards, but to do so requires a good bluff or two. Cards are divided up among two to four players. The first player sets one to four cards from his deck face-down on the table and declares what he claims those cards are. The next player then has to either match those cards from his own deck, pretend to match those cards, or call a bluff and hope it

Dinosaurs Get Even In “Lost World Lunch” On Kickstarter

Stories about lost valleys full of dinosaurs are nothing new, but they’re usually told from the perspective of the discoverer. How would you like it if you were a Terrible Thunderlizard and out of nowhere, some little pink figures showed up with metal weapons far superior to your teeth and claws? “Lost World Lunch” is a new card game based around the perspective of the dinosaurs, and they’re fighting back! Lost World Lunch is a quick-play card game for 2-6 players. Each player takes on the role of a Dinosaur (the initial deck has three carnivores and three herbivores). Your goal as the Dinosaur is to get as many Victory Points as possible by Biting, Clawing, Stomping, and Smashing the pesky, trophy-seeking Victorian Hunters as they sip their tea and eat their lunch. A game takes about 15-20 minutes to play. Each player is dealt three Hunters that they are racing against their opponents to complete. You complete a Hunter by matching (in order) all of the symbols on the
