Cartoon Network Crossover Crisis Deck-Building Game is Out Now

Posted on by

Cartoon Network Crossover Crisis Deck-Building Game 1Cryptozoic Entertainment and Cartoon Network have announced the release of the Cartoon Network Crossover Crisis Deck-Building Game. With many successful launches in the Cerberus Engine line, including standalone versions as well as expansion packs, this new release is highly anticipated and features fan favorite characters from many current and classic Cartoon Network animated series. This newest standalone game is fully compatible with all previous Cerberus Engine releases.

What kind of craziness ensues when cartoon worlds collide? Cartoon Network’s mischievous nemeses are loose and it’s up to the players to stop them. Play as beloved heroes from Cartoon Network’s past and present original shows including Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Clarence, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Regular Show, Samurai Jack and Steven Universe to take them down. Every main deck card is unique and brimming with Cartoon Network characters.

In this wacky take on the world-renown Cerberus Engine, players will find everything they have come to expect in a Cryptozoic game including high drama and hijinks. Weakness cards are all unique and dangerous. Fortunately, Pratfall cards (which replace Vulnerabilities) are a great way to exit any scene (and get rid of Weaknesses).

Never before seen Event cards change things up in crazy ways when they appear out of the main deck. Players never know who will be the next victim, but everyone is in on the hilarity. In the end, only one player will be left laughing in this competitive game.

Included with the first print run is a promo oversized Dee Dee Character Card (from Dexter’s Laboratory). Stores who order in time for the first printing will receive boxes marked as First Printing Promo Inside. This card will become a collectible that customers will search for.

  • Number of Players: 2
  • For Ages: 15+
  • Playing Time: 30-45 minutes
  • Retail Price: $40
  • 206 Game Cards
  • 9 Oversized Character Cards + 1 Promo Oversized Character card
  • 1 Rulebook

Marvel Dice Masters: Civil War Expansion List

Posted on by

This May sees the release of Wizkids‘ newest Marvel Dice Masters set, Civil War. The set is focused on Team Cap and Team Iron Man and if the Starter Set is any indication expect to see some interesting cards focused on KOing cards through special abilities, gaining life, and embracing the Civil War comic storyline in the card abilities and names.

I took the checklist provided with the Starter Set, listed out the characters and their titles for each rarity. We don’t know what each card will do, but you might be able to make some guesses based on the names.

FCBD 2016: Dice Masters Free Comic Book Day 2016 Batman: Terror of Crime Alley

Posted on by

Free Comic Book Day is a yearly event taking place the first Saturday of May and a fantastic celebration of comics (and general geekdom). Each year millions of free comics are given away and often other companies get in on the fun with comic related giveaways/promotions. Wizkids have been taking part for years now, and this year is participating with a promotion for their popular Dice Masters game which features comic characters and properties from DC Comics and Marvel (as well as Yu-Gi-Oh and Dungeons & Dragons).

This year’s promotion features a Batman card which is attached to some starters (and stores will determine how they want to sell/give away those starters). The card, Batman: Terror of Crime Alley, features an image from the classic Batman TV Series (of which Heroclix, also by Wizkids, will be getting a convention promo also based on the tv series). There is also a blank variant, which is perfect to have your favorite comic artist sketch their take on the classic character.

The card is a variant for the Batman: Terror of Crime Alley card featured in the DC Dice Masters: World’s Finest set which came out in mid March.

You’ll possibly be able to get your copy May 7, 2016.

Ghostbusters: The Board Game II Out Now on Kickstarter

Posted on by

Ghostbusters the Board Game IICryptozoic Entertainment has launched the Kickstarter campaign for Ghostbusters: The Board Game II.

This new campaign, on Kickstarter today, is crafted with fans in mind and includes the following contents in the base game: 54 Miniatures including 4 Courtroom Ghostbusters, 4 Slime Blower Ghostbusters, The Scoleri Brothers, and Vigo the Carpathian plus 12 double-sided map tiles, custom dice and tokens; some of which can be used for advanced gameplay variants. Two expansions starring Louis Tully and Slimer as playable characters are also available for backers starting today.

Ghostbusters: The Board Game II features an original story by IDW Comics’ Ghostbusters writer Erik Burnham in which Vigo and his minions return to the city, causing rioting and earthquakes to break out all over The Big Apple! Comic book artist Dan Schoening also returns with his signature Ghostbusters style. Ghostbusters: The Board Game II’s cooperative gameplay and modular design allow for highly customizable scenarios and nearly endless re-playability. This stand-alone expansion lets players hop in the Ecto-1a for a quick half hour session, or strap on their Proton Packs for a full-fledged ghostbusting campaign, making it the perfect game for board game veterans and beginners alike.

Numerous stretch goals have already been unlocked just in the first day, and you can expect much more to come.

Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool in October

Posted on by

DeadpoolWe’ve gotten word that a new set for Dice Masters has been announced through store solicits. Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool will be released in October by Wizkids.

Unlike the recently announced Doctor Strange Team Pack, this looks to be a full set. So expect a starter, gravity feed, playmat, team box, and collector’s box. All of which are standard releases for a set.

The solicit reads:

Dice Masters is a global hit from WizKids. It uses the same proprietary Dice Building Game platform designed by Mike Elliott and Eric M. Lang. Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool will leave you rolling!

The merc with a mouth brings everything you love about him to Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool. It goes without saying that you’ll love seeing Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Dogpool, and Evil Deadpool. Come to learn the ins and outs of the Weapon X project alongside Wolverine, X-23, the Stepford Cuckoos, and Mr. Sinister. If you’re looking for new stuff in Dice Masters you can’t miss this set – it will have the first appearance of Inhumans, new characters from the Spider-Verse, more characters from the pages of What If? like never before.

Each Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool Foil Pack contains two cards and two dice that players can add to their Dice Masters collections! Introducing more than 30 heroes and villains (and their dice!), Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool will be sure to spice up your Dice Masters collection!”

The release also sounds like a nice mix of old and new when it comes to cards and team affiliations. The set will include new Spider-Man characters after a set dedicated to just that world of comics a few months ago, as well as an “X” focus since it is Deadpool after all. The inclusion of popular characters such as Lady Deadpool, Dogpool mimics some previous releases for Wizkids’ other game Heroclix which saw a team dedicated just to Deadpool and his compatriots.

The inclusion of Inhumans makes sense and I’d expect to see a set down the road just focused on Marvel’s space based characters. While galactic characters such as Thanos, Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon have been included in past sets, a set focused on them and alien races could potentially add a lot to the game in both variety and mechanics.

Marvel sets so far have included Avengers vs. X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Age of Ultron, The Amazing Spider-Man, and next month will see the release of Civil War. It has also been announced that Civil War‘s super rares will be based on Marvel’s What If? line of comics, and Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool continues that theme of super rares, much like how DC sets are focused currently on Black Lanterns.
