Plus: this summer's sizzling new casual games, tips for playing Funkoverse like a pro, the many hats of Josh Cappel, page-turning board games that have the facade of a book, how fun is no mystery with Scorpion Masqué, and a FREE print-and-play game: Planet Run by Experimental Playground. Our readers also discuss what games (if any) they would rescue from a house fire.

This issue features reviews of Mantis, My Shelfie, Next Station: London, Fun Facts, Word Heist, Stampfarm, That's Not A Hat, and a guest review of Velonimo by Major Fun.

Funkoverse is a decent enough game. I just have a hard time understanding how they got so popular in the first place...I guess it's just me. Collectibles can be weird.

The Page Turners article looks interesting. I got the lifetime digital package last year on Kickstarter but I wish I'd gotten the print version! I'll look for that option...
