5 Board Games on Kickstarter to Watch Out for in 2018. Top Story - January 2018.
In the fashion world, it is the year 2018. We observe the everyday human as they walk down the street: they wear jeans with waistlines starting at their belly buttons, backpacks with cartoon buttons, and glasses are the size of two very big grapefruits. We see floral patterns that match your mother's curtains, full body jumpsuits in singular colors, and dresses that fall just below the knee. No, it is not the year 1980. It is, as we said, the year is 2018. But the trends from this time appear to have resurfaced, you finally conclude. Interesting.Similarly, it is also the year 2018 in the world of games. Our current observation is that video games and consoles such as Playstation and XBox have long since taken over classic games of the past. If you want to play Cribbage, perhaps Meema at the care home would be up for a round. But since the rise of Kickstarter.com, we've seen a fashion world-esque surge in trends of the past in that board games are the new "in" games like Exploding Kittens and Unstable Unicorns have thrived in this new era of gaming from their feeble starts on Kickstarter, and you will notice many others trying to do the same. So in honor of Kickstarter and the revival of the great board game, here are some of their newest additions that you're going to want to add to your collection for the upcoming year!

5 Tips For Playing Better Sorcerers
Magic is a potent force, requiring years of study and dedication to fully master. There are some, though, whose very blood runs with power. The subject of myths and legends, magic is a sorcerer's birthright. Able to accomplish on instinct and intuition what even the most brilliant wizards may take decades of study to grasp, sorcerers are subjects of fear as often as they are of awe.

Why Vampires Are Making a Comeback in Standard Format
MTG Standard format is possibly one of the most difficult formats to play, due to the fact that the cards are constantly rotating out. Though with the Newest set, Rivals of Ixalan, and its predecessor, Ixalan, vampires came out with a lot of powerful synergies. Though the dinosaurs have as well, they are just too high cost. The recent bans with MTG standard removed a few cards from the Kaledesh block that saw a lot of play and combo out to win turn 4-7. This clears a path for the newer cards of Ixalan and even some of the Amonkhet block to make their appearance on the battlefield. Vampires, specifically. The appearance of Maverin Fein, Dusk Apostle, and Elenda, the Dusk Rose allows for vampire token plays to become more prominent. When combined with cards like vicious conquistador and other low-cost vampires you can easily run a vampire deck that can combat the popular Beckett brass deck with chump blockers or the Naya-saur Dino deck due to the high cost of Dinos not being on the battlefield fast enough. Though fairly weak on their own, these synergistic vampires will allow for a new era of standard tournaments. My recommendations for success are to run a black white vampire token deck with cities blessing mechanics in order to annihilate the opponent with sheer overwhelming power. The other side of vampires, though, is not just power, but time. these decks should be thinking longer term than two or three turns. No, you need enchantments. The enchantments in standard rotate out so often that I lose track, but the best approach is to have enchantments with bolstering effects and buff your 1/1 vampires.

'Rocket League': Improve Your Gameplay
So I started playing Rocket League about 11 months ago. Introduction When I first found out about the game, I saw my brother playing it. I did not think much of it until I watched the gameplay, which furthered my interest in it. I then purchased it myself on Steam and started my Rocket League career. I did not start playing competitively until I reached the 400 hour mark. After that I started to really try to improve my gameplay.
