Welcome to Wizards, Michael de Plater! He joined us this week along with a very talented group of developers. Michael’s been behind some really groundbreaking games. From Total War to Shadow of Mordor, he brings a ton of experience as a creative leader and designer. Now, this team is bringing their innovation to Wizards to create a new game and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Exciting times ahead!

The Nuestra Magia Secret Lair drop has raised over $1 million for the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC), with the final tally still being counted! This release was developed to recognize and honor the diversity of Latin American culture through the lens of MAGIC: THE GATHERING’s storytelling and art. Available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, the Nuestra Magia Secret Lair drop represents an intentional effort to broaden representation within our game and community. Guided by Wizards of the Coast Senior Art Director Ovidio Cartagena, the drop features 10 cards illustrated by eight Latinx/é artists. Each card includes bilingual flavor text and artwork that highlights distinct voices and traditions within the Latinx/é diaspora. Ovidio led the creative vision and wrote the text himself, ensuring cultural authenticity throughout the process.  Read more on the drop in this But Why Tho? exclusive: https://lnkd.in/ezb2HUec #MTG #NuestraMagia #SecretLair #NALAC  

Fans First: Brad, the Board Game Enthusiast.  At Hasbro, you're never far from a true superfan.  Every board game night needs one brave person to meticulously sift through the rulebook to get the game started. At Hasbro, that person is Brad Hilderbrand, Senior Communications Manager! While his day job at Hasbro focuses on Digital Gaming, Brad loves to play traditional tabletop board games in his spare time.  🌟 Exhibit A: his bookcase, stuffed to the brim with the latest games. 🌟 Exhibit B: his custom-designed game table. 🌟 Exhibit C: his side hobby producing YouTube game tutorials, taking viewers through the best ways to play.   “My weekends are basically spent playing board games from sun-up to sundown, and games are really about the only thing I buy aside from food. Some might call it an obsession... I call it devotion.” 🔍 Stickler for the Rules 🔍  “I love to learn and teach. My favorite thing about getting a new game is punching out all the pieces and learning the rulebook so I can teach the game to others. When I go to a board gaming convention (my happy place), I’ll ask my friends what games they want to play so I can be prepared to teach them once we arrive. Though I love playing games, I often find teaching them to be the most fun part!    Hasbro’s Top Tabletop? 🌟   “HeroQuest! It’s a great dungeon crawler franchise and the Avalon Hill team has put out so much awesome content to keep it fresh. There's the new Joe Manganiello-designed Crypt of Perpetual Darkness quest pack coming out this year...Joe Manganiello is a legit gamer, so I'm interested to see how his quests look and feel.”     Learn more about HeroQuest here: https://lnkd.in/eCxAhwtu
