I caught up with Jake from USAopoly to talk about Thanos Rising, Samurai Jack, and Deadpool VS the World.
See you guys @ Gen Con
In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at Munchkin X-Men. Is the art going be goofy or traditional? Take a look!
The art is solid and I like the feel that it lends towards superhero.
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!
