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!

Worlds Collide In 2014: TRANSFORMERS GI JOE Ongoing Series! @IDWPublishing

Image
The Crossover of the Century at IDW in 2014. There have been multiple crossovers between these two brands including Marvel, Image Comics, Devil's Due, and Dreamwave. Now IDW has announced they will not only be doing a crossover but it will be an ongoing series. This makes me a very happy comic geek. I love these two franchises, most of my childhood was filled with the cartoons and toys. I can't wait to see what IDW has in store for our favorite Real American Heroes and the Robots in Disguise.
