USAopoly Inc. today unveils the answer for adult party game fans who have always wanted to know, but never asked, about their friends’ darkest secrets with Privacy, the newest addition to the company’s adults-only lineup.

For today’s connected adult who scrolls daily through their social networks, the newest (and funnest!) way to learn everything about their friends is now in the cards. Privacy offers a hilarious and unconventional means of both breaking the ice and testing the closeness of confidants through questions that leave no line uncrossed.

Perfect for playing at weekly game nights, players must secretly respond to provocative hypotheticals, taboo topics, and naughty questions about their behavior behind closed doors. Correctly guessing the party’s anonymous answers gains each person points—and a whole new understanding of their friends! A larger group may mean safety in numbers within the ballot box, but no one is safe from raucous laughter and inevitable finger pointing.

Privacy lets the 18-35 year old openly and hysterically pass judgment as a means to win the game. Millennials and mature audiences alike will now unplug for their entertainment when the envelope-pushing, laughter inducing, adult party game hits shelves this spring for $24.95.

USAopoly Inc. announced today that it will be bringing board game fans a unique and educational way to experience a timeless classic with the Disney A Wrinkle in Time: A Daring Adventure Game, inspired by the upcoming live action fantasy film.

Players take on roles as the story’s main characters Meg, Charles Wallace and Calvin to rescue Mr. Murry and find their way home through a series of challenges immersed in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) academic principle.

Clever components and skill-focused puzzles are used to emphasize each STEM aspect, with a common theme being collaboration. “This is all about working together as a team to come up with a great discovery,” says USAopoly Creative Designer Kami Mandell. The engineering of a hexaflexagon is behind the Flex Enfolders which, used in conjunction with dice rolls, must sum up to progress through five movie-based locations, or levels.

A coding portion of each round relies on players’ abilities to communicate and lay out an “operation chain” that aims to generate a successful result, after which they will use the color filtration of Mrs. Who’s “Quizzing Glasses” to reveal Mr. Murry’s hidden whereabouts.

“It’s all the things that you want as a [mentor] to instill in your children,” says Mandell, “which is how to work together and how to respect other’s opinions.” The cooperative dice game is targeted for ages 8 and up, while the relevance of social interaction and hands-on applications also makes it perfect for young adults and fans of party games. Distinguishable packaging and game pieces featuring scenes from the movie will remind moviegoers of the captivating visuals that Disney is known for.

Disney A Wrinkle in Time: A Daring Adventure Game will be available just in time for Walt Disney Pictures’ release on March 9, which stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Gugu Mbatha-Raw among many others as the unforgettable characters from Madeleine L’Engle’s Newbery Medal-winning novel.

Project Raygun to Launch Kickstarter for Sideshow’s Court of the Dead: Mourners Call

USAopoly, Inc. is pleased to announce an upcoming Kickstarter campaign by its Project Raygun division to release Court of the Dead: Mourners Call, a new fantasy-themed tabletop game based on Sideshow Collectible’s original dark fantasy horror universe.
Project Raygun is a revolutionary boutique board game, puzzle, and collectibles brand division within USAopoly. Project Raygun products celebrate pop culture of past and present, while paying homage to the artists that bring them to life. Partnering with fellow pioneers in the creative and collectibles space, Project Raygun aims to deliver unparalleled experiences to their audience.

This highly anticipated campaign marks the latest collaborative effort between Project Raygun and Sideshow, which will lean into a booming segment of board game Kickstarter campaigns. Launched in 2013 at San Diego Comic-Con, the Court of the Dead is Sideshow’s original property. The Court of the Dead is a dark fantasy horror universe conceived by the studio’s Chief Creative Officer, Tom Gilliland. The Court collection features some of Sideshow’s most sought-after figures.

Managed by James Hudson of Druid City Games, the Kickstarter launch is slated to commence in late April and will run through mid-May. Druid City Games founded in 2016 has launched successful campaigns with a focus on high end quality and end user experience.

Court of the Dead: Mourners Call is a highly anticipated next step for the Court of the Dead brand, which has released 19 high-end collectibles and six publications since its debut in 2013. Sideshow partnered with Project Raygun in 2016 to expand the Court of the Dead product offering into puzzles, card games and tabletop gaming – among other categories.

Court of the Dead: Mourners Call is more than just a tabletop game; It’s an immersive in-world experience,” said Tom Gilliland, Sideshow Chief Creative Officer and creator of the Court of the Dead. “Through highly-detailed card art and ornate 3D miniatures, players will be transported to the macabre and magical Underworld. Players face grave circumstances: They must balance both cooperative and competitive objectives by working with the other players to appease the mortally bankrupt, oppressive celestial overlords in a way that achieves their own individual vision of a unified Underworld, ready to rise up in rebellion.

An artful gameboard with three regions, custom marbleized six-sided dice, tokens, and cards maintain the beloved aspects and exploratory spirit of “The Magical Quest Game” while offering lighthearted Disney nostalgia. Memorable locations such as Neverland and Traverse City, Munny-themed currency, Gummi Paths and more will comprise a brand new journey to the delight of sentimental fans.

Based on the hit 2017 Warner Bros. Pictures’ film, CLUE: IT takes the classic mystery game even further into shrouded chaos as Bill Denbrough and his friends attempt to determine Pennywise’s Plan.

Also inspired by the highly-acclaimed film, MONOPOLY: IT makes buying, selling, and trading places in and around Derry, Maine the key to winning this uncanny twist of “the Landlord’s Game.” Using tokens of iconic items, such as an Inhaler, Paper Boat, and Bicycle, players can draw Encounters and Phenomena cards as they build Suburban Houses and Apartment Buildings on locations like Pennywise’s Cistern and the Derry Sewers.

Something conspicuous is emerging from Gotham City and inching into The OP's searchlight, becoming just visible enough to reveal motives and strategies distinctive of the city’s insane asylum. New details are pointing to this “breakout” title that might put some speculation to rest among a most recently excitable hobby game community.

The product at large is Talisman: Batman™ Super-Villains Edition, created by USAopoly in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Games Workshop to bring two licensed versions of “The Magical Quest Game” to market this year.

Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition allows players to take on the role of Gotham City’s notorious evil-doers, sneaking and fighting their way through Arkham Asylum’s two floors and central tower to be the first to subdue Batman and successfully release its dangerous inmates.

The anti-heroic objective in this take on the classic fantasy tabletop game focuses on building the Health, Strength, and Cunning of the Caped Crusader’s enemies. The game suits 2-6 players ages 13 and up, and can be played cooperatively or against other foes, before one winner can earn the reputation of King or Queen of the criminal underworld. Witnesses also report a custom illustrated game board featuring artwork from the best-selling DC comic series “New 52” era, 13 plastic character figures, more than 100 Encounter cards, six-sided dice, and stat boards to monitor each character, easing traditional role-playing game elements into the hands of collectors eager to get in on Batman’s titular Talisman debut.
