Americana is packaged like CD Box Set and American Pie is your typical card box. I think I am going to stick with Panini Americana. It is actually one of the cooler cards I pulled. Nice even number and I think I’ll try to complete the set.Īnd of course what set doesn’t have parallels these days:įinally what I think is a buyback card. It has 24 packs with 8 card per pack and guaranteed 3 memorabilia cards. I love, love Donruss/ Panini Americana and I heard nothing but good things about 2011 Topps American Pie so I thought to pick up a box. You don’t know how much you will miss something until it is gone… It is not the same to just have a toy section in a big box store or to shop online. I even notice there are less and less video game and board games stores nowadays too. I can’t imagine a world without toy stores and without Toys R Us that is becoming a reality. As I was shopping in Toys R Us during it last days, it was hard not to feel sad. But if you can find it for a good price, I can’t recommend that game enough.įinally I want to talk a little about Toys R Us. The only downside is that it is very, very expensive and it is quite addictive. I almost never play this mode.Īll in all, there is no game like Dropmix. It is basically a timed coop game where the app asks for a particular card and we need to find someone who has that card as fast as possible.

The party mode on the other hand gets old fast. The first player or team to 21 points wins. There are wild cards which have a lot of flexibility and white power cards which gives you special abilities. You can also hit the dropmix button to try to discard some of your opponents cards to clear room for your cards which also lowers their score. You get points for each card you play (and there are some limitations on where you can play a card) and you get bonus points for something like playing a bass card when the song is lacking it.

I don’t want to go to much into the details of the game but you basically build decks and play 1 v 1 or 2 v 2. I find the better player usually winning. At first glance, it seems like the clash mode is all luck but I find there is actually a lot of strategy in the order of your actions and what cards you play and where. It is also amazing how well all the music samples go well with each other.įrom the reviews I read, many aren’t as impressed with the actual game modes but I actually love the clash mode. So to make you own music mashups, you just have to lay out the cards you want on the board and let it do everything else. Each card has a chip that the board reads and it sends that information to the app. Wow, this game is amazing! First it is just amazing how seamless the technology works. Well I had the opportunity to pick up the base game for 70% off, $30 and 4 expansions packs for 60% off, $6 each at the Toys R’ Us going out of business sales and I had to have it. Dropmix is a music mixing game that has always piqued my interests but it was always too expensive.
