Reviews
Marvel Remix (Gaming With Sidekicks): “Overall Marvel Remix has been a surprise hit for me and anyone I have introduced it to. Fantasy Realms, the game that it is based off of has always been a quick easy card game I have enjoyed and this one takes the best parts of that and adds in one of my favorite IPs.”

Dragon Market (Geek Daily): “A good game aimed right at its target audience’s age — young players and their parents and friends. The game is short enough that it could be played multiple times in a sitting by kids without too much attention fatigue.”

Wildstyle (Meeple Mountain): “Wildstyle scores major points as a game that works with my kids (at least, my eight-year-old) and with adult gamers.”
