From Sushi Go!, to Sushi Draft, and now Sushi Dice, it’s hard to ignore the emerging trend of sushi-based tabletop games. At this point, I’m all for it, as long as the games are good. Sushi Dice is a frenetic dice game where sushi chefs work to prepare dishes faster than their rivals. Should your next board game night menu feature this one?
One of the biggest draws to Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures is the fact that it allows players to partake in an epic dogfight with ships from the Star Wars universe. The big caveat is that most of those ships are sold separately and the cost for creating fleets adds up quickly. After picking up the core set, I only bought one additional X-Wing so that our group could play 4-player games. The game made such a good first impression that I decided to fill out my fleets a bit more with two of the coolest ships in the galaxy.
With higher trim level and an increased price to match, luxury editions of games aren’t meant for most. More often than not, the standard edition of a game will suit you just fine. However, a trend I’ve noticed since the release of the fancy 10th anniversary edition of Ticket to Ride is the growing number of designer games getting the tricked out treatment. As a proud owner of that particular luxury edition, I’m all for the release of other games in this manner.
Generally considered to be a weak character in Street Fighter Alpha 3, R. Mika appears to pack quite the punch in Street Fighter V. Though I definitely don’t do the character justice, I hope that her potential shines through in this video and the others to come!
Karin is one of the most complex characters in Street Fighter V. All of her special moves have branching paths, allowing her to open up her opponent, even if they block the first hit. I didn’t get enough time to fully grasp her play style, nor did I get enough to finish a combo video, but I did get some matches in. In this first set, I got particularly lucky with mashing out her V-Trigger move and Critical Art.
The iconic clawed combatant is one that I’ve loathed since his debut in Street Fighter II. Never liked playing him and always hated fighting against him. However, he appears to have turned a new leaf in Street Fighter V due to a myriad of changes to his character that I really dig. Not only am I a fan of this version of Vega, but he’s also one of my favourite characters in the game so far!
Having stood on the sidelines since her debut in Street Fighter Alpha 3, R. Mika returns in Street Fighter V. As a wrestler, her arsenal of moves would surely make Hulk Hogan proud. She also didn’t come to this fight alone, as her tag team partner Nadeshiko swoops in from time-to-time to lend a helping hand (or butt). Does she have what it takes to make a run at the championship belt?

Don’t let Laura’s pretty looks and simplistic fighting style fool you. She may not have the combo potential of some of the other fighters on the Street Fighter V cast, but when she hits, she hits hard. In early matches like these ones, I’m still trying to get a feel for what she’s capable of. By the end of my time with her in the stress test, I was performing much better and really enjoying her as a character.
Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Core Set puts you in the cockpits of some of the most iconic ships in the galaxy. Whether you’re piloting an X-Wing or a TIE Fighter, you’ll be whizzing around in space, blasting enemy ships while evading oncoming attacks. Looking a a full setup of the game with a number of separately sold expansion ships is a sight to behold, but you’re only getting three ships in the base set. Is a three ship battle still one worth fighting?
