Sentinels of the Multiverse is a lot of fun to play and keeps me coming back for more. Admittedly, I am a comic book geek, but even a person who is not will enjoy the game. Comics and comic book heroes are nothing more than the theme and serve as the narrative for the game play. But it's not pasted on. Oh no, is certainly is not! The game is fresh every time I play it, challenging, social, and engaging. Simply awesome.
The revolution continues and spreads in the hearts and minds of the people and now from town to city. The secret war for dominance and control has a new battle ground and new players. Within the Palace is the center of the government and the most coveted of individuals to vie for support. If you have the Royals as friends, your cause will certainly be made all the easier.
The people will no longer tolerate the tomfoolery of the government. The status quo has failed and the word "revolution" is on the lips of every man, woman, and child. The pillars of society waver, but where others see chaos and disarray, you see opportunity. There is no possible way to salvage the old guard, but if one were to establish a seat of power in the new order, one could live a very comfortable life.
Killing time on a long bus ride with teenagers can be tedious, but not when you have father geeks riding with you. Downtime is game time! Let's play Werewolf! I think the teenagers enjoyed having a couple of “old people” in the game and they certainly made us feel welcome. Funny though, being an adult immediately makes you a suspicious character!
We all keep track of some hero, be they real or imaginary. Lots of us keep track of athletes and the sports they play, following their careers with great interest. I traded football cards for a short time and loved reading the stats of each of the players depicted. Now, in a age of computers and GPS satellites, we have a new way of watching.
Top This! is certainly not breaking any new ground, but it does a great job all the same. The pizza theme it uses as its background and base is perfect for the medium in which it is played. While the game won't be winning any prestigious awards for complex and deep game play, it is sure to deliver fun and light entertainment.
