The perks and quirks of Billionaire Banshee, a card game with cool cameos
Sometimes you have to take a break from video games, you know? You just want to sit back with friends, have a little gab and relax, maybe crack open a board game. Of course, that doesn't mean your board game can't have video game characters in it. Enter Billionaire Banshee, a card-based party game. Billionaire Banshee's cards are set to feature pixelated cameos from lots of indie game darlings, including Octodad, Guacamelee, Go Home Dinosaurs, Blood Alloy and Roundabout. The game itself challenges you to guess what kind of person your friends would date, the hook being that said date has one "perk" and one "quirk." For example, would your friends date someone who has a pet unicorn but also has translucent skin (yes, obviously)? It sounds weird, but we couldn't shake the appeal after seeing the game at PAX East. We haven't seen the cameo cards in question, but we're guessing one of the new quirks is about being a secret octopus. Or is that a perk? Find out when Billionaire Banshee completes its funding drive on Kickstarter. [Image: Steven Bailey]
Steven to appear on All Games Interactive
Today, I'll be interviewed on All Games Interactive about the PSP, this site and whatever other random topics arise. AGI is a live radio show, so anyone can listen by going to allgames.com and feel free to call in during the show or enter their live chat. Mayor Young has told me that I'll be on around 7:45PM ET/ 4:45PM PT though the show starts at 6:30PM ET/3:30PM PT, so feel free to listen in for the whole show. As a warning, All Games Interactive often uses potty language and has risque dialogue, so if you're still in training pants, you may not want to listen.
