 * Comment: Assuming that I can't find enough, it might actually be best to merge this with Sentinels of the Multiverse The Video Game, which does pass notability guidelines as a whole due to it having multiple critical reviews on Metacritic. That article is relatively light, so if all else fails then a merge will solve problems of notability as a whole for the main article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:27, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree with merge. It seems really hard to establish notability/verifiability for designer board games, even a popular one -- because almost all the news, reviews, and awards appear on one collaborative site, BoardGameGeek. But it is verifiable from video game critics that the Sentinels of the Multiverse franchise is a real thing. I wouldn't mind one article to describe both the board game and the video game. rspεεr (talk) 05:28, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge Absolutely, this seems like a product created as part of the video game and certainly hasn't reached notability for its own article. EBY (talk) 03:41, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * ...No, it's the other way around. The board game was created in 2011, the video game in 2014. (And this is the kind of thing people would like to find out by looking it up on Wikipedia.) rspεεr (talk) 04:21, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * You are absolutely right. I took several minutes and surfed around and realized the board game spawned the video game - the video game just sucks up the first hits for whatever reason. Digging back, I found several reviews of the board game and its notability (http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/blog/post/review-sentinels-multiverse/) and (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/editorials/reviews/12512-Sentinels-of-the-Multiverse-The-Video-Game-Review especially). Still say Merge but the video game should be merged under the board game. EBY (talk) 04:53, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sentinels of the Multiverse The Video Game as above. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:16, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge per suggestion above.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 02:08, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
