In Time-Travelling Robot Bakery, you are a programmer who works with robots in a bakery, and it's your job to make sure the robots are working as quickly as possible. These robots are capable of time travel, mind you, so as you battle for ingredients and supplies, it's possible for your opponent to go back in time and get to them before you do. If you can bake a cake with your robots before your opponent can, you win!
In the game, players program four robots to move around a modular board and to try to gather ingredients for a cake. The robots are added to the board one by one, as they duplicate via time travel, creating a parallel algorithm of growing complexity. Coordinating the movements as you add more and more robots to the picture is key to solving this puzzle-y game fastest. The game board is created from double-sided cards, allowing for varying gameplay each session with different options on the different sides of the cards.

• Oliver also has a second time-travel game on TGC: Prescience, a two-player action-based game in which players always control the most current version of themselves, but with the ability to use their knowledge of the past to interact with their former selves or the former versions of their opponent. A bit more description: "Through special abilities such as pushes, pulls, and stuns, they can change the course of the previous generations. However, each time they change the past, the effects of that change continue to ripple forward as the game progresses."

• Speaking of AvX starters, the airshipped portion of its first reprint is nearing WizKids HQ and should start being shipped to distributors late in the week of May 19, 2014 and early the following week. The remainder of that reprint run is on a ship and thus weeks away from arrival and distribution. A reprint of AvX boosters is due out in July 2014, with the second reprint of starters not arriving until the end of August. Says Ziran, "Again, we're looking at options to expedite the delivery, but I won't have clarity on that topic for a few weeks", the problem being that airshipping a ton of product designed to sell at an aggressive price point swings your profit to the left of zero.
