Rule #1: Cardio.

Man, if a zombie outbreak happened right now, I know I'd be one of the first to go. I need to go out and run more. Though... I could always just play Dead Sprint, a new board game about escaping the zombie hordes on Kickstarter instead. ... Hmm...

I love broccoli. I've always loved broccoli. Even as a kid, I love broccoli. However, I realize that I'm the freak like that. Most kids don't like it, or many other healthy foods. And no, my current eating habits don't include as much broccoli and other good things as it should. But now, you can play a card game that'll help instill good eating habits. It's called Yes! Broccoli! and it's up on Kickstarter now.

The Nazis are losing WWII. However, they have a secret weapon they've been working on that will turn the tide of war forever in their favor. A strange substance known only as Vril was discovered that has a nearly limitless amount of uses and power. The scientists working with it have done so in absolute secrecy. However, the Allies have now found out about it and are coming to stop their research. Will they get there in time? That's for you to find out in Reichbusters: Projekt Vril, a new cooperative board game coming to Kickstarter in November from Mythic Games.

Primary Publishing has launched their Kickstarter campaign for their new episodic card game, Age of Primes. In it, players will take on the role of leaders of different Houses. Over the course of the various episodes, they will attempt to recruit followers and gain more prestige for said House. At the end, the player who first gets to 25 prestige is the winner.

The week is rolling along. Mine's been going by pretty quickly. Being busy will do that, I suppose. Lots of stuff going on, so the time goes by. Looking forward to the weekend. Not too much planned for me, but that's entirely the point. Sometimes you gotta just do nothing and be happy about that. But that doesn't mean that other weekends won't be filled with gaming, and that means wanting good-looking gaming tables.

Today in the Terrain Corner we have: New Official Butcher's Guild Mat Available From Deep-Cut Studio, Dungeon Flagstones RPG Encounter PVC Mat Available From Loke Battlemats, Dust Town Mat Available From Pwork Wargame, and Hive City Arbitratorum Available From Tabletop Scenics.

The folks at Battlefront have been rolling along with their new Team Yankee releases. There's a trio of new kits over in their webshop that you can check out. You need som mobile howitzers? Maybe a huge rocket launcher? What about an APC? They're all available now.

The Year of New Editions continues along as new versions of games you all love are released or in the works. Malifaux is one that's slated for an update, and Wyrd Games has reopened applications for the closed Beta. So if you want to see how things have changed and help shape the game's future, you'll want to check that out.

From the city to the bush. Z-Man Games is taking Carcassonne out into the wilds of Africa in their latest game. Carcassonne Safari is the same tile-laying that you've come to love, but in a much different location. Go out and see all the wild animals of the savannah on a wild safari.

Plaid Hat Games' upcoming tactical card game, Guardians, is about to hit shelves. But there's still time to check out the last set of the titular Guardians from the game. Have yourself a look at Ronin and Whiplash.

Discover: Lands Unknown will take players into... well... unknown lands. The race for survival will be on, and you will have to work both with and against the other players in order to survive and get out. In this preview, we get a look specifically at the cooperative and antagonistic aspects of the game.

Just when you thought that all the issues on Spirit Island were too much, even more is making its way to the shores. More invading forces are coming all the time, and only a concerted effort will keep them away. Jagged Earth is a new expansion for Spirit Island from Greater Than Games. It's up on Kickstarter now.

Wanna ride bikes!?!?

It's the punchline to probably my favorite knock-knock joke, but it's also what you'll ask one-another in Kids on Bikes, the horror RPG from Renegade Game Studios all about groups of kids going around town and solving supernatural mysteries. The game's gotten quite a rave following, and now it's getting a new expansion. Strange Adventures is more than just a set of adventure hooks, it's also a guide on storytelling in the KWB universe. You can pre-order your copy now.

Have you ever had a dream so deep, profound, and important to you that you changed your behaviors because of it? Maybe it seemed like a prophetic vision of the future. Maybe it just seemed like a good idea. Well, in Dreams of Tomorrow, those dreams you're having aren't just your subconscious keeping itself occupied while you sleep, they're portents of things to come. And, thankfully, you have time to fix a broken future. The game is up on Kickstarter now.

While resources might be slim after the apocalypse, and everyone's going to want to get their own share, it's still better for people to band together rather than just fight off anyone and everyone around. In Fallout: New California, players will be heading out into the radioactive wastelands together in search of gear and finishing quests. In this preview, we get a look at how they can help one-another in the process.

Wednesday is spelled wrong. - Demitri Martin

Yeah, I am sure I've used that before, but I love Ice Bear, so there we are.
