A Game of Thrones Catan: Boardgames are Coming

One of the most popular board games is Settlers of Catan. If you are a fan of Catan style games, and also love Game of Thrones, get your credit cards out. The game is called Game of Thrones Catan: Brotherhood of the Watch and asks you to protect the wall and rise to the title of Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch.

It has essentially the same play mechanics as normal Catan, but with characters, locations, and themes inspired by George R.R. Martin’s universe. That means dice rolling, managing hands, building defenses, and trading supplies. Each play takes 60 to 90 minutes.

The game is for three to four people, and recommended for ages ten and up.  You can the Game of Thrones Catan game over on Amazon for $63.96. There’s a 5 to 6 player expansion pack available for another $44.99.

When did board games get more expensive than video games?

Mario Desk Calendar Keeps Track of Days, Not Coins

Is it just me, or every time you see anything with Mario jumping up to smack a box with a coin inside, do you hear the “ding” sound the video game makes inside your head? That sound will surely be stuck in your head all the time with this official Mario desktop calendar.

The calendar has little cubes with numbers, days of the week, and months on them. You just drop the cubes in and put them on the correct date. Since it has no year on it, you can keep using it in perpetuity.

It’s a much cooler design than other desk calendars, but the downside is I would forget to change the date and end up leaving it on the same day for most of the month. Still, it’s a pretty sweet addition to any collection of geeky desk toys. Grab one at ThinkGeek now for $24.99.

Fallout 4 Super Sledge Replica for Super Smashing Cosplay

Fallout 4 was the high point for the franchise, and it put some very cool weapons at your disposal. One of the stranger instruments of destruction in the game was the Super Sledge. This was a big sledgehammer with a rocket motor on the back.

The sole purpose of that Super Sledge was to smash the shite out of enemies in the game. This officially-licensed reproduction is a 1:1 version of the weapon from the game. Measuring in at 41″ long, it’s perfect for cosplayers.

Construction is from injection molded plastic. That means no actual super smashing things, or you will break it more likely than the object of your destruction. ThinkGeek will sell you a Super Sledge for $79.99, but the display stand shown is not included.

Dread Pirate Roberts Action Figure Will Most Likely Kill Your Wallet in the Morning

Of all the flicks that I remember from growing up in the 1980s, one of the best was The Princess Bride. I’ll admit to not wanting to watch it in my youth because it sounded like a “girl movie” to my younger self. Once I watched it, it was fantastic – with giants, sword fights, and matches of wits.

Fans of The Princess Bride will love this premium action figure of Westley as The Dread Pirate Roberts. Standing 12.25″ tall, the sixth-scale figure looks just like Cary Elwes. It comes with two heads: one shows Westley’s face, the other is Westley wearing the Dread Pirate Roberts’ mask.

The figure has that bitchin’, but sort of pubey, mustache from the films and comes complete with his black pirate costume, sword, and wine goblet. It comes with seven different gloved hands, and two bare hands allow for ambidextrous sword fights. ThinkGeek will sell you one, as you wish, for $199.99.

One pair is blue and has the many faces of Rick Sanchez. The other pair is festooned with Pickle Rick. That means you can cover your pickle with a bunch of pickles.

The pair of undies sells for $39.99 and depending on your sharting frequency, should last much longer than flowers. They come in size SM through 2X and are available from ThinkGeek now.
