The CATAN x Linkin Park crossover is actually real... 🎸🎲

So naturally, we pitched corporate some even more ridiculous music and board game mashups.

From Ozzy Osbourne taking over Ticket to Ride to Wingspan featuring premium Snoop Dogg components, which of these are you bringing to game night? Or do you have an even wilder idea? 👇

Heading to ICON Cape Town next week? 🇿🇦 Do not miss the Mzansi Meeples stand! 🎲

They are an exclusive pop-up collaboration of local South African board game designers bringing uniquely homegrown tabletop games to the convention floor.

Look out for:
💸 Steal & Plunder - A tongue-in-cheek card game about Mzansi's shadow economy (yes, you literally steal copper wire and pre-approved tenders).
🤫 Hoozhoo - A chaotic 5-round party game where you end up acting out clues under a literal bed sheet.
🧠 Thirty3 - A fast-paced team trivia race to exactly 33 points where a bad die roll can brutally tank your score!

Support local SA gaming! Find them there 18 and 19 July. Which one are you trying first? Let me know below! 👇🦜
