Emergence Dark Ops
Earlier this year, we posted about a Ultimate Board Game Giveaway. It was a joint giveaway by indie board game publishers where 1 lucky person would win 8 board games.
Well, now one of those game publishers has a new game ready to go.
The game is Emergence Dark Ops and is a standalone sequel to Emergence – which raised close to $100,000 on Kickstarter last year.
In Dark Ops, players compete in a Battle Royale: free-for-all format against one another.

Be the legend of the junkyard in Trash War
From toasters and TV’s to moldy sardines and X-ray machines, all sorts of items are flying around the junkyard in Trash War.
But the items thrown around aren’t the only things that make the game feel like a free-for-all. The game flow itself feels like a cafeteria food fight.
When I was first introduced to Trash War last year, I was sure the game would be a hit with our teens. Since then I’ve introduced it to even more kids and teenagers and they’ve all had a blast playing.

Unfortunately, Out of the Box Games is no longer around to make more copies.

Karuba’s game insert even speeds up play
It’s time to put another game insert from Insert Here to the test.
You may already know we’re fans of foam core game inserts. Not only do they keep the game components nicely organized, they’re also very light. So there’s hardly any added weight to the game box.
It’s even better when the game insert itself helps the game function more smoothly.
Well, that’s what Rob Searing (Insert Here) has done with the custom game insert for Karuba!
