WizKids, Summertime
WizKids has launched a board game inspired by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’s hit song, Summertime.

Designed by Omari Akil and Hamu Dennis, Summertime sees players outwit each other with a series of tricky decisions as they travel across Philly.

When confronted with a Spot – places like Block Parties, Salons and Cookouts – players must put forward Action, Energy, and Boost cards that match the Spot’s Vibe, gain the most total Energy and win the Spot.
