We have now entered the heart of the Christmas period and in these days that separate us from December 25th, we are still looking for some gift that can make our loved ones happy.

If you have friends or relatives in love with the universe of Star Wars, one of the titles that he might most like to receive is definitely X-wing.

The developers have decided to close the gap between historical players and new players, with the release of the new edition, which in addition to giving new life to the title, will soon add two interesting factions: Galactic Republic e Separatist Alliance.
KeyForge

If your friend or you are a lover of style card games Magic o Destiny, KeyForge it will surely be a precious ally to surprise your friends.

Fortunately the game published by Fantasy flight, does not need a basic set to start playing, also because the rules, easy and not too difficult to master, can be easily downloaded on the internet.
It would also be fabulous to give or give us a couple of decks from the game, also because in addition to the surprise effect of the unwrapped pack, there will be the surprise effect of the deck that they will find inside. Even recreating the tokens during the Christmas period will not be a problem, the classic legumes that are used for bingo or the chips to play at the merchant at the fair will certainly come to our rescue, all easily usable tools. Then you are ready to forge the three keys of KeyForge?
