What features two Italian brothers who are plumbers, lots
of pipes and tubes, water, a princess, mushrooms, walking time bombs, squids,
killer fish, all sorts of weird creatures and deadly traps and danger lurking
around every corner and in dark watery places?
If you said Super Mario Bros., you’d be right. If you are thinking of the video game, you’d
be wrong.
USAopoly has squeezed, compressed and printed Mario and
his wild cast of characters and game environments into a fast-paced card game
that is every bit as challenging as the video game.
The game includes Instructions, 52 Level Cards, 30 ? Block
Cards and 50 Extra Life Tokens.
The Super Mario Bros.
Power Up Card Game: Underwater Edition, from USAopoly,
forces players to use their wits and logic (with a little bit of luck and
swimming skills) to survive in the dangerous and often deceptive Warp Zone leading
to an underwater world.
Trade or keep Level Cards, collect as many Extra Life
Tokens as you can or you may lose an extra life.
“?Block” Cards gain an advantage and you may wind up with
most extra lives at the end of the game and win.
How does that ‘float’ your boat?
Exclusively Available at Walmart. Ages 8+ fro 3-8 Players.
Samurai
Jack Back To The Past pits Jack against the shape-shifting Master
of Darkness Aku. (Don’t you just hate
that guy?)
Players help Jack by trying to gain the most Honor so
Jack can gather Allies, assemble a plethora of Weapons and gain essential Traits.
Contents includes: Instructions, a Game Board, 15
Location Tiles, 7 Painted Vinyl Figures, 48 Support Cards, 40 Movement Cards, 9
Villain/Aku Cards, 5 Character Cards, 71 Honor Point Tokens, 1 Jack Token and 4
Encounter Tokens.
Whoever manages to obtain the most Honor Cards and get
Jack back to the past and undo the future, wins.
This is really nicely designed game from the Board to the
Cards and especially the Figures. As a graphic
designer I am impressed by the amount of thought and design that went into each
facet of the game. It’s colorful, clever
and really draws you into the entire scenario.
Well done!
