Sutakku is a dice stacking game that uses chance, and multiplication to be a game of critical thinking. Watch as Matt Busts it open. From Smirk and Dagger Games.

We did get to play Sutakku and it is a lot of fun. My initial impression was this too easy to stack, but the game mechanics change that. Check back soon for a demo and a review.

We had a chance to visit with Shelly at the Wizards of the Coast booth. She has a lot of information for us about the Rise of the Under Dark. We even talk about Joe.

Shelly shares a lot of information with us, while having a good time.

The Rise of the Underdark is going to be a great gaming experience. It really suits players that like to force others out of their comfort zone.

One of the cooler things about this series is that he source book is presented so it can be used in all five editions of the game. IF that is the future of 5th ed Wizards is moving in the right direction.

It is going to be interesting to watch the level 7 IP unfold.
