Wacky Wizard Games Imprint and Three New Games Announced by @wwizardgames

Image
Wise Wizard Games announced the launch of Wacky Wizard Games, a new brand imprint focused on family-friendly, lightweight games. Three games are planned for release in 2024 as part of this new brand imprint: Star Realms Academy, Caution Signs, and Pack the Essentials. If you are interested and attending PAX Unplugged they will have prototypes of Caution Signs and Pack the Essentials. "We are super excited to be adding this new family friendly product line to our catalog. We wanted to maintain the focus of Wise Wizard Games on strategy card and dice games with geeky themes, and have created Wacky Wizard Games as an umbrella for lightweight games with a more whimsical, cute vibe," shared Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games. Star Realms Academy Forge your own star realms, overloaded with cuteness! A kid friendly but still fun for grown-ups version of the popular Star Realms deckbuilding game for 2 players. A little less math, no reading necessary, but still tons of fun!

Review


See the Review Rating Overview page for more information on how I rate each comic


Cover & Solicit 4/5


Like most of the series the cover for the issues are pretty generic and I hate to say is probably one of the reason I didn't pick this series up at first. Luckily I read a review that changed that and this is a must read for anyone IMO regardless of the cover.

Art, Colors & Inking 4/5


All of the issue have been drawn and colored by Fiona Staples, and while the art isn't bad it's not my absolute favorite. I will give fair warning if you are easily offended this title might not be for you. In this issue, like #7 we do get to see a little bit more of a Troll's genitalia than you might like.

Layout & Flow 5/5


The pacing of this series has been excellent. Even for new reader I fell that it wouldn't be too hard to pick up. The narration by their infant daughter (I assume in the future) adds something different to the book that others could learn from.

Story 5/5


This issue starts with Alana and Marko's daughter Hazel explaining how her parents first met. We then go back to the present where Alana gets some father-in-law daughter time where he reveals that he is dying and that she must assist him on a quest. The second story is where we left Marko and his mother last issue trying to search for their babysitter and standing face to balls with a giant Troll. It turns out the Troll is not guarding a planet but an egg that is ready to hatch. Like I said this has been an awesome series. The writing is top notch, the art is pretty good, and the entire concept seems original. If you want a book that is different than the rest I highly recommend giving Saga a read.

Verdict 4.6
