Spiel 2015 Preview: Butts Away! Heroes, or The World Will Soon Tremble Before My Mighty Pumpkin
Board Game: Butts away! Heroes
Butts away! Heroes from designer Chen Zhifan and publisher Big Fun Games has a super silly name that embodies the spirit of its gameplay.

In this game, you're a bad guy and want to convince the world of how bad you are, so you set out from your secret cave to find a tool that will allow you to put your sinister plan into action. Unfortunately, your simpering superheroic nemesis has heard about your plan and will try to foil your scheme, with your fellow bad guys possibly helping out the hero so that they can look like the baddie supreme instead of you. What jerks!
