A study is out that shows that playing boardgames from a young age can help memory and thinking skills as you age.
Iello has announced Kraken Attack, a cooperative kids game of pirates battling the eponymous monster. It’s due out at the end of next month.
Renegade has announced Succulent, a game with my kind of gardening—the kind that doesn’t involve being outside or getting dirty or worrying if your plants survive. (Spoiler alert: with me, they don’t.) You can pre-order the game now ahead of its May release.
Prospero Hall, the studio responsible for tons of really great games over the last few years, including Villainous and Funkoverse, has partnered with Mixlore, the folks that brought us Nosedive, the game based on the Black Mirror episode of the same name, to release The Shining Board Game. Details, including a specific release date, are a bit sparse at this time, but Propero did describe the game as “a suspenseful game of cooperation, deception, and terror!” So, at a minimum, it sounds like a co-op with a hidden traitor? We’ll keep you updated as we get more details.
The Op will soon be bringing us Breaking Bad Monopoly and Breaking Bad Trivial Pursuit.
Reaper Miniatures has released a set of limited-edition minis featuring koalas and kangaroos and will be donating a portion of each sale to the RSPCA of South Australia to help them recover and save animals in the face of the devastating wildfires ravishing the country.
