1 KUNG FU PANDA: THE BOARD GAME

As action dice games go, this might not be the first one that springs to mind. But this outing for endangered kung-fu masters is one of the truest ‘turnless’ games out there. Players take the dice and miniature representing the characters from the film, and, against the clock, attempt to roll their way to the right number of successes all at once. Players have to work collaboratively through a scenario, defeating enemies and helping fallen friend up if they get knocked down. This leads to a lot of shouting, chaos, and enjoyable narrative whiffs as you score a, now missed, blow on a character someone else has just downed. A joyous and frankly silly game.
