Overboss: A Boss Monster Adventure shares a setting within the pixelated Boss Monster world. Brotherwise Games' earlier title featured wonderful retro artwork, reminiscent of 8-bit computer games. Overboss takes that art style and then raises the ante... In Overboss, up to four players compete to be not just the boss monster of a dungeon - but the Overboss of the world above! The core mechanisms here are tile drafting, and then tile placement. Each player has a double-sided player board, which is a grid (3x4 on one side; 4x4 on the reverse for a longer game). You're drafting tiles that represent different terrains, with set collection in mind. There's always four tiles up for grabs in a public flop. Partnered with each tile is a random token. This will either be a monster type (for one of the terrains), a terrain crystal (for bonus scoring), a miniboss (extra points), or a portal (swapping tokens around). On your turn you draft a tile-and-token pair. You place the tile somewhere into your grid, and the token (if it's a monster) sits on that tile. (Otherwise it sits off to one side for you to use later.) Each terrain type scores in different ways. Some, for example, reward the specific location of the tile. Others pay out in a majority means. There's ten different terrains - plus mandatory Dungeons - and you always play with five of them. This means a whole lot of modular set-up! You earn bonus points if you can place matching monsters in their favoured terrains. (Vampires in castles, witches in swamps, and so on.) You also score points if you can have same monster types sitting in 'bands' (rows/columns). Half of the battle is not only drafting the terrain tiles to score them... but also picking ones that have appealing monsters. Overboss also has asymmetrical 'boss' player powers, offering further unique gameplay. There's also take-that actions you can add in. Arrange your terrains to match prerequisite patterns, and gain a free action. Well, you could use them to attack an opponent's grid... Or you could use them to rearrange your own! It all boils down to the question: how bad an Overboss are you? Player Count: 1-4 Players Time: 20-30 minutes Age: 8+

A book every teacher/parent should read!
Format: Hardcover
I LOVE this book because the "bad seed" reminds me of my son. I don't believe there are any "bad kids" in the world but I'm sure kids look at themselves as bad if that is all they ever hear. I love how this story gives a sympathetic backstory on how he got "so bad" and how he is trying to do better and change his bad ways. Even though my son isn't perfect, he sure does try to do good and his behavior improves when people notice the POSITIVE instead of the negative. I absolutely love the last lines of the book where the other seeds are gossiping (another lesson) saying, "Hey! There goes that bad seed," and another seed sticks up for him and says, "Actually, he isn't that bad anymore." Then the "bad seed" turns around with a smile on his face and says, "I heard that." Moral of the story.....children are always listening. Focus on the positive rather than the negative and a child's self-talk and behavior will drastically improve. My son's 2nd grade year was so negative and he was always getting into trouble. I rarely heard the good and neither did my son. His 3rd grade year was amazing. The teacher really focuses on pointing out his good choices and what a difference that made in my son's attitude toward school. Thank you Jory John for writing this book. I also love the book, "I Love You Already" which teaches readers about friendship, love, patience, loyalty and forgiveness. :)
