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!

Beast vs. Magneto in Days of Future Past

Image
It looks like FanGirl.org is on the ball this week for Marvel movies. Earlier this week I posted a few images from Amazing Spider-Man 2 , today Spinoff at Comic Book Resources has posted several images of Beast and Magneto fighting in what appears to be a fountain. I'm not sure what to think about this version of the Beast it seems like the makeup department has gotten lazy. I hope this isn't signs of things to come, or maybe they plan to CGI his appearance. Check out the images below, and visit FanGirl for more.   X-Men: Days of Future Past is scheduled for release on July 18, 2014, with a cast including McAvoy (Professor X), Jackman (Wolverine), Hoult (Beast), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde), Shawn Ashmore (Iceman), Peter Dinklage (Puck), Omar Sy (Bishop) and Halle Berry (Storm).

Deadpool Corps + Tacos = Awesome

Image
Marvel has announced their team up with Hasbro to release a SDCC exclusive Deadpool Corps Taco Truck. While I wasn't a big fan of the series (I did like Prelude to Deadpool Corps) , this looks like a nice package. Right now it seems to be only available at the Con, but lets hope they put a few on their website so you don't have to pay the outrageous eBay prices. “Any evil that threatens the universe can eat lead. For the rest of us… tacos!”  The Merc with a Mouth teams up with his favorite allies — alternate universe versions of himself– in this highly collectible and unique action figure set. The 3.75-inch Marvel Universe figures of Deadpool, Lady Deadpool and Champion of the Universe, along with figurines of Kidpool, Dogpool and Squirrelpool come packaged in individual “taco shells,” all inside a collectible taco truck package! Following the convention, a limited number will be available on HasbroToyShop.com.  (Approximate Retail Price $49.99; Ages 4 & up; Ava
