  • In this video, Mark unboxes Sniper Elite: Operation Kraken, one of the newest expansions for Sniper Elite: The Board Game. He walks through everything included, from the rulebook and cardboard components to the maps, tokens, sniper boards, and solo mode cards. As a longtime fan of the video game franchise, Mark shares his excitement while giving a detailed look at each piece and explaining how the game plays. Join him at the table for a full tour of the components. Sniper Elite: Operation Kraken is an expansion set during an ambitious operation to end the war, as the Axis prepare to launch an experimental super carrier across the Atlantic. Players must find the plans before it can launch, or infiltrate the vessel to bring it down from within. The expansion introduces two new maps—a Norman Village patrolled by armoured cars and a multi-deck Super Carrier full of tight corridors and locked doors—along with new vehicles, loadout and objective cards, tokens, and solo mode cards. New tools like TNT and Bolt Cutters give the sniper fresh tactics, while defenders can use reinforced walls to turn the ship into a nightmarish maze. It supports 1–4 players and plays in about 40–70 minutes. 00:00 Intro 01:29 Game Description 03:15 Base Game Components 12:09 Cards Overview 16:52 Eagles Nest Expansion 21:34 Operation Kraken 27:32 Escalation Expansion 33:26 Sniper Screen 33:52 Deluxe Upgrade Kit 36:37 Final Thoughts https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/444239/sniper-elite-operation-kraken

  • Join Mark as he unboxes the brand-new Deluxe Edition of Jump Masters! from Neon Knight Games, freshly arrived from crowdfunding. In this video, Mark walks through everything in the box — from the rule book and hero cards to the skirmish board, hero dice, terrain pieces, and the upgraded components that come with the deluxe version. Along the way he shares a bit about the publisher and what makes their games stand out. Get an up-close look at the quality and contents before this one hits store shelves! Jump Masters! is a cutthroat battler inspired by Chinese checkers, designed by Jeff Jacobson and Manny Trembley for 2–4 players. Players command a drafted team of heroes, taking turns to jump around the arena — leaping over friendly heroes to gain energy, or over opponents to attack and reduce their energy until one is defeated. Each hero has a unique ability, and terrain can either block or empower you, so smart drafting and clever planning are key. Chain multiple jumps together for powerful turns, and be the first to collect enough victory points to be crowned the Jump Master! 00:00 Intro 00:42 Game Description 01:20 Game Details 02:06 Neon Knight Publisher 03:18 Components 04:20 Rulebook And Playmat 05:54 Dice And Tokens 07:53 Hero Cards 12:13 Deluxe Hero Cards 14:34 Final Thoughts https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/463836/jump-masters
