I learned two things after I played my first game of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. One, I’m a fan. Two, if there’s ever a real bomb that needs to be defused by knowing Morse code, I hope it’s not up to me to do it.

Marvelous Munchkins
Three new Munchkins are set for this year: Munchkin: Marvel Edition (April), Munchkin Marvel 2: Mystic Mayhem (August), and Munchkin Marvel 3: Cosmic Chaos (October).

Terraforming Mars
Stronghold Games will be publishing Terraforming Mars from Swedish company FryxGames. According to the press release, the game will bring “science, corporate competition, and euro-mechanisms to the Red Planet.”

Cryptozoic Schedule
Cryptozoic Entertainment announced its 2016 release schedule, which includes DC Comics Deck Building Game: Crisis Pack 3, Adventure Time Card Wars: Fiona vs Cake, Rick and Morty Total Rickall, Internal Affairs Game, and Cartoon Network Crossover Crisis Deck Building Game.

Look at Cthulhu

Young Sleuths
Based on the GUMSHOE system, Bubblegumshoe is a “fast-paced RPG … of high schoolers solving mysteries in a modern American small town.

Ice Cold
A closer look at the Elder Sign expansion, Omens of Ice.

Gaming Like It’s 1899
Way back in the day, late 19th-century folk were playing their version of Cards Against Humanity called Peter Coddle’s Trip to New York.

Going Cashless
