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.

Ingredients

  • For the Taco Seasoning:
    • 2 tablespoons onion powder
    • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • For the Pizzas:
    • 1/4 cup canola oil, plus more for brushing
    • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    • 1 16-ounce tube pizza dough
    • All-purpose flour, for dusting
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
    • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
    • 1 avocado
    • Juice of 1 lime
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 tablespoon diced red onion
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 cup fresh salsa
    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

      Directions


      • Make the taco seasoning: Mix all of the ingredients with 1 tablespoon each salt and black pepper in a bowl.
      • Prepare the pizza: Mix 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning and the canola oil in a shallow bowl. Pound the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thick. Add the chicken to the bowl, turning to coat, and marinate 30 minutes.
      • Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool, then cut into bite-size pieces.
      • Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll out each on a floured surface into an 8-inch round. Brush with canola oil, sprinkle with taco seasoning and grill until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side; remove from the grill.
      • Mix the cheeses in a bowl, then sprinkle on the crusts and top with the chicken. Return the pizzas to the grill, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the avocado, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, red onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizzas with the avocado mixture, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.

      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
