Check out Senshi from Arcane Wonders. It’s a unique hand management token drafting game that makes you think.
I will play this week, even if I have to knock down some doors! This game looks like a something I will play a lot of!
In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at Cities of Splendor, and all the wonder it has to offer.
This expansion is a game changer!
In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at Munchkin Spell Skool. The classroom will never be the same again – just ask the Friendly Big Kid.
Kaite Cook did a great job with the art on this set. I think she might have had too much fun.
I caught up with Tony Gullotti from Arcane Wonders at Origins Game Fair, where we played Spoils of War, and talked about the new Force Mage and Viral.
The Force Mage is quite sexy. Spoils of War is a great bluffing game – better with beer. Viral is very intriguing at this point.
In this Box Breaking Matt Takes a look at Munchkin Zombies. One of the things about this edition is you play the zombie!!
Munchkins eating brains!! It has to be fun.
Watch as Matt takes you to a different world of Munchkin. Lions and tigers and bears, really? This is Munchkin. I’m sure we’re in for a twist.
If you are a Munchkin fan this is definitely for you. If you like the Wizard of Oz it’s a great addition to any collection.

The Guys from Megacon Games share with me Mercs 2.0 Banner Saga and a sneak peek at the next Myth product.
I really like the new Mercs book. Banner Saga looks awesome and the next Myth product is, I think, going to be a refreshing change.
With only eight days left I’m going to start sharing the games I’m looking forward to. I doubt I will get to try them all with nearly thirty interviews scheduled at Gen COn 2016. This list will be presented in no particular order, but I think, at times, you will be able to tell which ones I anticipate more.
The first game is Star Trek Panic. I have not yet played any of the panic games, even though I have wanted to; life is a nasty villian sometimes that gets in the way of gaming. You might think that as a reviewer I play more games than the average individual. I’m not entirely sure that is true, I think I get to play about as much as most gamers. The difference is I almost always get to experience something new, which is cool most of the time.
Why Star Trek Panic? One it’s Star Trek and with the franchise turning 50 good things are happening. This is just what I believe the first of many will be. I’m a Star Trek fan. Plus, one of the mechanics reminds loosely of Star Fleet Battles, a game I used to play frequently.
Here is what I know
It is the fourth “panic” game.
You play in the Kirk era.
It comes with a cool 3d version of the Enterprise.
One of the key elements is recording damage doen to different sections of the ship. This is the part that reminds me of Star fleet Battles. It’s not nearly as tgactical but I really like the flavor it gives the game.
It is card driven and the cards are dependent on the number of players.
You can play the different characters, and they each have different special abilities reflectiung their personality and role from the Original series.
It’s a Co-operative game.
Without playing any of the panic I can’t say I have any reservations about Star Trek Panic.
Please Check out My Gen Con or Bust Gofundme.
Watch Matt unbox Munchkin Steampunk. It features art by Phil Foglio and special gear mechanics. Not actual mechanics but rules for gears.
Thanks for watching
