minute heroic sacrifice that no one saw coming. If your friends bail on your invite to play We're Doomed, consider gifting them a Little Diablo. This doll from Breaking Games is one of the more maniacal game designs I've seen. It's a Simon-esque color sequence puzzle. Not so hard, right? But the whole time you are focusing on solving this puzzle, the game is berating you and spewing offensive remarks to try and throw you off. And the worst /best part? The game is un-turn-off-able. Short of breaking out your screwdriver or running it over with your car (I didn't test this, so no guarantees) the only way to stop the spewing garbage is to solve the puzzle. Good luck! Little Diablo was a limited- edition partnership with Jon Lovitz, but look for Breaking Games to try this sinister experience with other bombastic personalities in the future. White Wizard www.whitewizardgames.com White Wizards has designed a slew of tabletop games and had plenty to show on the floor at PAX East. However, their newest release is in digital format, the mobile version of Epic Card Game. Epic Card Game is a tabletop card game in the spirit of Hearthstone and other big-name brands, with your champion playing their pool of cards to defeat enemy characters and ultimately take down the main health pool of your foe. The mobile card game, available on iOS and Android, plays just like its tabletop version. In fact, part of the goal here is to ease the learning curve for new players and give experienced players more opportunities to practice and hone their skills. With this in mind, White Wizard has also included a very nice tutorial and a ton of features in the game to help explain the nuance of each card. You may be more familiar with the attack and defense stats on each card, but tributes, loyalties, and card factions will all unfold before you on the digital app. A phase tracker on the screen keeps you informed of where in each turn the game currently resides and clues you into the turn-by-turn flow you'll eventually understand as second nature. And if the enemy (either a real opponent or the AI) moves too fast, you can even review their moves to help you understand where you went wrong (or they went right). If you're looking for a gateway into tabletop card duelers, or just some accessible fun on your smartphone or tablet, Epic Card Game is free to play and easy to check out. Did White Wizard's awesome art styles draw you into more tabletop card games? Then you probably got sucked into Sorcerer, or their comic-book- inspired Kapow! Sorcerer's Victorian-era card and dice dueling game features some killer design, all the way from the box to each of the individual cards. Each game of Sorcerer begins with a deck-building phase constructed out of 3 different modules. The game comes with 4 of each module to keep things interesting, and a ton of expansions are available to widen the opportunities. Because of the way decks are constructed, every game plays out differently. A planning phase has you placing minions, casting spells, and
