Len Peralta is back, with a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic wasteland. In addition to new Door, Treasure, and Seal cards, Munchkin Apocalypse Guest Artist Edition features 12 player standies and a circular board unique to this version! This is the first time a guest artist has tackled an expansion, with Munchkin Apocalypse 2 Guest Artist Edition adding 106 new cards to the fray.

Countdown to Gen Con T-7 and Counting Telestrations After Dark

 Gen Con 2015, Road to Gen Con 2015, USAopoly  Comments Off on Countdown to Gen Con T-7 and Counting Telestrations After Dark
Jul 222015
 

I’m actually pretty excited about this game, here is the manufacturer description.

 

Our favorite party game is all grown up. Telestrations After Dark is the adults only version of the #1 LOL party game Telestrations. Draw what you see then guess what you saw for hilarious, weird, irresponsible and just plain wrong outcomes. Telestrations After Dark is “adults only” miscommunication at its best!

Ages 17+ | 4-8 Players | MSRP: $29.95

 

With that said I’ve been playing Telestrations pretty much since it’s conception.  I can only imagine what an adult version means.  I’m sure it’s done with great taste and style.  I find this to be one of the most intriguing releases of the year.  I only hope that as a reinvented game it doesn’t stray from it’s origin too much!
