Loot Crate Unboxing! (February 2015)

For those of you who don’t know about it, you’re missing out on Loot Crate. It’s a monthly subscription box that ships a veritable cornucopia of geeky treats straight to your door. It’s true that this month isn’t actually Batman themed, but it has included our favorite superhero often in the past, so we at Caped Crusades have no problem with showing you what comes in the mail each month!

This month’s box, called PLAY!, was all about gaming – specifically board games. It includes a Loot Crate exclusive of a popular tabletop game, and a blank vinyl collectible figure from KidRobot. The program mentions a DIY contest for the best decorated version of the fig, so we plan on putting those erasable markers to good use. Check out what we unwrapped just today:

The box itself breaks down into a super-cool game board!

Check out this score: One of the coolest geek novels of all time, Ready Player One!

"In the year 2044, Wade Watts, like most of humanity, escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia. Like others, Wade dreams of discovering a virtual Easter Egg that lies concealed within one of thousands of virtual worlds by the OASIS’s creator, the late James Halliday. Halliday stipulated in his will that the person who discovers the egg will inherit his entire estate, including management and control of the OASIS itself."

This crate is worth twice the price for this book alone. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Solid box this month! If any of you out there have Loot Crate, feel free to post reviews of the board game gameplay and all your experiences!

Don’t forget, we do this every month and hope to expand to other subscription boxes that appeal to geeks of all walks of life.
