Watch: Clash of the Titans (1981)Īfter last week’s suggestion for Ladyhawke, I have chosen to stay with my 1980s nostalgia and crack open Clash of the Titans. Finally, a game on Greek mythology that doesn’t make my eye twitch. From a Greek-myth-nerd point of view, I love the relative accuracy with the monsters and locations. It is popular with the younger kids because you throw cards, and the older kids will enjoy the strategy as it builds during play. The winner is the god who has garnered the most faith from their mortals.Īt face value, the game is easy to play and easy to enjoy. The game ends when you run out of monster cards. However, each location has its own bonus features and each monster has its own special powers. Players will take it in turn throwing monster cards at the locations to collect faith points. The game is set up with various locations around the table. YOU (and your fellow players) are the gods. He has ordered all of the gods (all genders) to send forth their monstrous pets and rekindle the mortals’ faith through fear. The mortals are losing faith in the gods, and Zeus is not yet ready to let go of his power just yet. The core concept is to use fear to garner faith. Word of warning: You are going to need the big table for this. You can read my full review of the game on, but here is the general guide. By their standards, everything else is cool but how often does Mom allow throwing in the house?! If you ask the kids what they love the most, first and foremost will be throwing cards. Play: Monstrous (Tabletop) From Good Games Publishingīe prepared for a lot of boisterous laughter with this game! It is filled to the brim with Greek myths and legends, matched with gorgeous artwork. There is so much more to do with this creative idea! You can geek it up with any superheroes or light up some Star Wars images. I also found the fairy lights with actual bulbs work best for pushing through the canvas, rather than the tiny button lights more readily available in our local stores. The smallest I could go would be about half of that. The large version picture above works well. I tried a smaller version and found the fairy-lights require more space and support behind the canvas. None of them turns out as good as Heidi’s version on Happiness Is Homemade. Something like this: Image by Heidi Kundin / Happiness is HomemadeĬredit where credit is due, I have tried to come up with my own ideas for making this same thing. To make up for the abysmal weather, I would love to have a night light of some sort with the kids’ favorite constellations, Orion and the Southern Cross. We live in Sydney, Australia-the odds are less likely to be in our favor. We have two star-gazers in our family, and I often find myself awake at stupid o’clock in the morning, check to see if the skies are favorable. For years upon years, western astrology has been built on the legends from Greek mythology the easiest to spot and most widely known is Orion. However, since that often seemed nigh impossible, the second best thing was for Zeus to immortalize you as a constellation in the sky. In Greek myths, the greatest respect Zeus could ever bestow on anyone was to leave them alone. Make: DIY Canvas Constellation Night Light After all, one does not simply walk past a movie or game featuring Greek mythology. (Keep it in your pants, Zeus.) Naturally, it turns up in our Make/Play/Watch/Read. I love spotting wherever Greek myths and legends appear in pop-culture-a bit like Zeus’ children throughout history. I’m not sure exactly what caught my interest but it has spawned future passions: comparative mythology, sociology, ancient art and symbolism, and the ultimate Greek tragedies. It’s my comfort food, my bedtime story, my big cozy oversized comfy dream (more on that later). For that reason, we have contacted Blizzard directly and decided to close the website until we have an answer from them," a message at says.Greek mythology has been my fave topic since I was a baby Gorgon. "We have received a notification from a digital copyright protection agency that claims Playwatch Magazine infringes Blizzard’s intellectual property rights. Unfortunately for readers (because we read it for the articles), the site has now been forced offline. put together an actual Playwatch Magazine-online, of course-with, as Dorkly put it, "articles, interviews with real-life cosplayers, and yeah, loads of horny fan art." And it was actually pretty good: A lot of it was silly-the multi-page interview with Bastion is nothing but beeps and boops-but it also included coverage of the November Symmetra buff, top Hero picks and player rankings for the month, an interview with Jannetincosplay, and even a Spanish-language article about Sombra. Naturally, it didn't take fans of the game long to take the idea and run with it.
