Star Fighters Rapid Fire Kickstarter Preview and Gameplay | @alleycatgames

Live playthrough of the fast action dice rolling Kickstarter game Star Fighters Rapid Fire by Alley Cat Games. Back Star Fighters on Kickstarter . About Star Fighters: Rapid Fire combines the excitement of real-time dice rolling with tactical starship combat. Each player hops into the cockpit of their own starfighter and duels it out in a dog fight to prove who is the superior pilot. The game plays in multiple modes 1 vs 1, 3 player free-for-all, 2 vs 2, or a solo mode where a single starfighter attacks an orbital space station. In the real-time phase all players roll and re-roll their command dice simultaneously, and assign them to the various functions of their starfighter. When a player has fully charged systems and is ready to act they may end the real-time phase by hitting the big red button and yelling, “Fire!” This means all players must cease rolling and allocating dice and move to the tactical phase. In the tactical phase players then alternate activating the systems they hav

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 cups prepared macaroni and cheese, warmed
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 cups prepared pulled pork
  • 8 slices buttermilk or white bread
  • 12 slices sharp cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)

Directions

  • Put 6 tablespoons butter and the mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat with the paddle attachment until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
  • Spread the macaroni and cheese in an 8-inch-square baking dish to about 3/4 inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 45 minutes. Cut the macaroni and cheese into squares that are slightly smaller than the bread slices.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the barbecue sauce and pulled pork in a saucepan over low heat and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  • Generously spread the butter-mayonnaise mixture on one side of each bread slice. Flip over half of the bread slices; layer 1 slice of cheddar, 1 macaroni-and-cheese square and another slice of cheddar on each. Top each with one-quarter of the pulled pork and caramelized onions and another slice of cheddar. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Working in batches, cook the sandwiches until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 5 minutes per side.

Japanese Hidden Gems Board Games by Board Game Tables.com Coming Soon to Kickstarter

Image
BoardGameTables.com announced two incredibly quirky and fun Japanese board games that will be launching on Kickstarter October 12th. The first game is Dandelions, a small box area-majority game that feels entirely unique, yet closely related to our crowd favorite Mountain Goats. The second game is Psychic Pizza Deliverers Go to the Ghost Town, an exploration game where you have to navigate through teleports, graveyards and ghosts to deliver pizza. "Do you have any indie Japanese games at home? Or any that you're a big fan of? If so, you'll no doubt understand why we all love so many of these thoughtful and offbeat games. If you haven't been fortunate to play one - that's why we're doing this!" The majority of independent Japanese games are either incredibly hard to purchase, or, if you are lucky enough to purchase them, it's dubious if you can find translated rules. This challenge has led BoardGameTables.com to team-up with James Nathan to help us con
