Welcome to Second Star to the Left! Here’s where we share board game reviews, ramblings, and a few wrong turns along the scenic route!

Graphic Novel Adventures game books are unlike any game book you have seen before. Within their pages you’ll become an active participant in exciting stories that unfold in each of the many beautifully illustrated graphic novels.
In Season 5 you’ll find:
Zone 25:
In Zone 25, you take on the role of Carl. Your bunker, once a haven against the robot overlords, is suffering from a new disease. You must brave the outside world to find a cure. That is, if you don’t fall prey to the robots, or other humans of the apocalypse.
Zombie:
In Zombie, you take on the role of either Judy the human, or Ben the zombie. Either way, your mission is clear. Escape the town, and be on the winning team! If you can navigate the mobs of soldiers and zombies, find allies (or snacks) or get out of this undead infestation, you might survive! Or you might just become cannon fodder or brain food.
Sherlock Holmes: Supernatural
In Sherlock Holmes: Supernatural, choose the role of Dr Watson, Sherlock Holmes, or new investigator, Thomas Carnacki, the Demon Hunter. Your team scours the streets of London to solve three cases that appear to have otherworldly culprits, or will Holmes find the logic that made these cases only appear supernatural? Can you solve the mystery?
Sherlock Holmes: Darkness Over London
In Sherlock Holmes: Darkness over London, you take on the role of Sherlock or Watson. You must solve three cases and determine the culprit in charge. If you cannot, then you may not move on to the next case! Can you match wits with the great Sherlock himself?
The Obsidian:
In the Obsidian, you have risen to power as the new leader of a mercenary army. You may be swords for hire, but you’re true to your soldiers and your client. You and your trusted leuitenants must fight and win in a war for King Hauora against Duke Ewilhem. Look out! There are traitors and ambushes hidden in these pages, so make sure to rely on your scouts, archers, and calvary. Can you win the war?

I’ve seen books like this but for little kids-Very cool that there’s something in a grownup size :) And that I can sneak into the house a lot more easily than another big box of board game 😎

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It is definitely easier to sneak into the house than a game box!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It was fun!

[@malvinafis6907]

Looks fun. Thanks for sharing. Do the "hidden" numbers get easier to find over time?

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

They vary. Some are easier to see and others are well hidden in branches, rocks, etc
