Thanos Rising Customs

Recently my wife found Thanos Rising on clearance and picked it up. Our game group has enjoyed playing cooperative games lately, they are a nice change of pace from the standard everyone trying to kill each other mentality. We quickly came to love this game as it lets us play out the great battle against Thanos in the MCU.

I was fortunate enough for OP games to send me a copy of the 2018 promo cards but I was unable to get the 2019 promos. I also found many custom cards for the game over on boardgamegeek.com. Which lead me to making my own versions of some of the missing heroes and the 2019 promos to print and add to my game.

Here they are, I hope you enjoy them:

I would like to give credit to Spawner1AndOnly for sharing his templates with me and for the inspiration drawn from his customs and from MarkFresch's customs as well.

King of Tokyo: Stay Puft Monster and Evolution Cards

As mentioned in my previous post here is my custom monster Stay Puft and it's evolution cards made using the templates from sixbynineis42 and using some ideas from Danny Mack's version (found here) over on boardgamegeek.com.

King of Tokyo: Alpha Zombie Evolution Cards

King of Tokyo has become a family favorite and game group favorite. It is easy to learn and doesn't require a lot to play, making for a fast and fun game. The evolution expansions make it fun by giving each monster its own powers and more variety to the game.

There have been many promos made by IELLO games, but none of them have evolution cards, limiting their use to myself and our gaming groups.

Many people have made their own evolution cards for some of these promos which you can find over on boardgamegeek.com. sixbynineis42's customs of Kookie, Iron Rook, and Brockenbar are great! And they look like real cards. He was willing to share his templates with me so I could make my own.

I have made my own set of evolution cards for the promo character Alpha Zombie (which I drew inspiration from Branden Sprenger's found here). And I made my own Monster and evolution cards for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man too (I use ideas from Danny Mack's version found here).

So here are the evolution cards for Alpha Zombie:

Individual cards (note the you will need 2 copies of Brain Eater):

Next post with have the everything you need to add Stay Puft to King of Tokyo, stay tuned.

Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid Villains

This last year I was able to get a copy of Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid. It is a fun cooperative game and that gives a lot of nostalgia to fans of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. They are great looking figures but I would have preferred them to be in the 28mm to 32mm scale as I would be able to complete them faster and use the figures with other games such as Heroscape.  

I have complete painting all the baddies from the base game and they are pictured below, enjoy:

I have stared and I am about half way done with the Rangers, then I will move on to the Kickstarter Exclusive Goldar Box followed by the Zeo Ranger Expansion. Until next time "May the power protect you".

BANG! Most Wanted

NOTE: All images and names used in the official BANG! (and its expansions) are copyright © dV Giochi.

Most Wanted is an unofficial mini expansion to BANG! the card game and, designed by Quincy Thompson (me). Most Wanted is a mini expansion that builds off the official Gold Rush expansion and supplement to my Osseointegrated expansion, adding 4 new characters and 3 more equipment cards to BANG!. Many of the other cards are inspired by and use the artwork from the custom cards made in the various unofficial expansions created on The BANG! Blog. The cards included consist of characters and equipment cards that didn't make the final cut into Osseointegrated, but should have. These cards were simply too good to not create and share, so I am making them available now.

Hippy the Hippo Birthday Cake

Another year and another birthday! Went big again this year as we had close to 50 people at the party...almost did 4 tiers but decided against it, so 3 again. So much for the 1 tier for every year.

This was a fun one. The birthday girl picked out the theme and the colors. The Mrs. played a big part in baking and helping design and decorate. We really stepped it up with new decorating techniques we have never done and, we also used marshmallow fondant to the mix for the hippo topper.

Special thanks to my mom for the tips in stacking the tiers and for giving me some of grandpa's old decorating tips from the bakery.
