Say goodbye to the nostalgia of I Spy on long road trips, but only if you have a selected Audi model. The car giant has teamed up with AirConsole to bring gaming into the cabin, albeit with a heap of safety caveats to ensure the driver doesn’t get involved in any marathon sessions.
“This is a game-changer for in-car entertainment. With Audi, we’re redefining what’s possible inside a vehicle—bringing gaming into motion and making every journey more social and fun,” says Anthony Cliquot, CEO at N-Dream, the makers of AirConsole. “By enabling gameplay on the passenger screen in a way that prioritizes safety by not distracting the driver, we’re taking a bold yet responsible step toward a future where cars are not just modes of transport, but platforms for shared digital experiences.”
So far, so PR, but what does it actually mean? Well, in Audi models equipped with a passenger display and Audi’s Active Privacy Mode – a digital curtain that blocks the screen from the driver to prevent any distractions beyond shouting and throwing your controller around when you rage quit – the front passenger can now enjoy gaming while the vehicle is in motion. It is slightly weird that many of the press shots for the announcement show the driver taking part, albeit not while the car is actually moving.
The feature is now available in the Audi A5, Q5, A6, A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron model series equipped with Android-based infotainment systems, in all markets where Audi operates. Utilizing your own smartphone as a controller, you can enjoy yourself with a specially tailored car version (a true mobile game…sorry) of Pictionary: Car Party, from Mattel. Up to four players can connect and while away the time while the designated driver tries to drown out shouts of, “Is it a sausage?” while doing a steady 70mph.
Erika Winterholler, Head of Business Development, Digital Gaming at Mattel, said: “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with AirConsole and work with the team at Audi to bring Pictionary™ Car Party! to Audi’s infotainment systems. This collaboration is a game-changer, letting non-driving passengers join in on fun, interactive play using their smartphones. Most importantly, the front passenger can safely control the game without distracting the driver, ensuring that entertainment and safety go hand in hand. This is the future of social gaming on the move, making every journey more enjoyable.”
Beyond Pictionary, the AirConsole catalog will be regularly updated but currently features an additional 13 games, including Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Overcooked, and Uno: Car Party. AirConsole is available through the Audi Application Store and all you need to do is boot up the game and scan the QR code with the phones of people who want to play, and you are in.

In the Anime Run Kingdom Roblox experience, choosing the right units can make all the difference. Some characters offer exceptional value through strong synergy, reliable performance, and unique playstyles that shape how teams are built. Whether it’s through powerful solo potential, healing support, or damage-focused roles, the top-tier units define the current Meta. This Anime Run Kingdom Unit Tier List and guide highlights key characters, such as Agua, Shadow, and Bokki, who are worth investing in and explains how they enhance your overall strategy.
Anime Run Kingdom Unit Tier List
All Anime Run Kingdom Units, ranked from best to worst – Image via TierMaker.
The current Meta in Anime Run Kingdomis built around strong team synergy and reliable performance in solo content. Units like Shadow stand out for their high damage without needing evolution, while support from characters such as Bokki can make even tough fights manageable. With the right setup, a tank like Zura can carry entire Raids, making these types of units essential for late-gameprogress.
Meta Units
These Meta Tier picks feature the most essential units in the game, each playing a key role in team success. From Agua’s top-tier healing to Shadow’s powerful non-evo DPS and Zura’s unmatched tanking, these characters shine especially in solo Raids when combined with supports like Bokki and evolved Breeza.
S-Tier Units
Kenpaki, Byekuya, and Zawa are among the strongest evolutions, offering balanced power but requiring long grinds for materials. For a quicker alternative, Kiwido and Azuno are solid picks with easier Battlepass-based evolutions.

How to Get
11th Kenpaki (TYBW)
Soul Reapers
11thKenpaki is one of the top charge Evolution units, but evolving him requires grinding his stages for hours to gather materials.
Evolve the base unit.
Cokeku (Angel SSJ3)
Z Fighters
Cokeku offers solid performance as an Evolution unit, but, like the others, requires lengthy farming sessions for its materials.
Evolve the base unit.
Byekuya (TYBW)
Soul Reapers
Byekuya is competitive with the other top Evolutions, but evolving him involves a grind of 5 to 15 hours. All of these units work well for soloing content when paired with Agua, Zura, and Bokki for support.
Evolve the base unit.
Zawa (Bandana)
Strawhats
Zawa stands out as a strong Evolution choice, but also demands a significant time investment to farm evolution materials.
Evolve the base unit.
Sesoke (Curse Mark)
Villains
Sasoke is well balanced among the best Evolutions, though acquiring his evolution materials can take many hours of grinding.
Evolve the base unit.
Kiwido (Star King)
Beaters
Kiwido is a great evolution option if you’re looking to avoid heavy grinding. His evolution materials are unlocked at level 50 in the Battlepass, though keep in mind it’s only available through the Premium version.
Evolutions unlocked with materials from the Level 50 Battlepass.
Azuno (Stacia)
Beaters
Azuno is another solid evolution that’s much easier to get than most regular ones. You can grab her materials at level 50 of the free Battlepass, making her a convenient pick for players who want to progress quickly.
Evolutions unlocked with materials from the Level 50 Battlepass.
A-Tier Units
Epsolon is a top-tier tank just behind Zura and works best with Shadow for strong synergy. Freeren, Smush, and Eyehawk are the strongest Mythic DPS options, ideal if you don’t have evolved or event units.
B-Tier Units
Byekuya and Kenpaki are solid units that can shine with support but need a lot of stage grinding to evolve. Breeza is a reliable early DPS, while Huffy offers a decent tank option if you’re lacking stronger picks. For easier progress, Azuno and Kiwido are good evolution choices from the Battlepass, with Kiwido requiring the Premium version.
C-Tier and Below Units
These units are generally underwhelming and fall short compared to the top-tier picks. They’re okay as early-game fillers, but most are forgettable unless you’re aiming for Bond effects or just like the characters.
Unit
Bond
Description
How to Get
Soonade
N/A
She’s a solid alternative if you don’t have Agua and works well if you want to run a double healer setup. Ensure she is equipped with a healing set.
Banner
Alpho
Shadow Garden
This unit is the top DPS in the Shadow Garden set after Shadow and works well if you’re aiming for double Shadow Garden DPS to activate the Bond set bonus alongside Epsolon as tank and Shadow as main DPS.
Event Shop
Naroto (Sage Mode)
Team 7
Norato is considered the weakest evolution unit because of its high cooldowns and lower stats, but it remains a viable choice. However, the materials needed to evolve him are also quite rare.
Evolve the base unit.
Broccoli
Villains
Broccoli Z is a decent beginner Mythic tank, but tends to be outperformed by Epsolon and Zura since he’s more of a damage/tank hybrid rather than a dedicated tank. On the plus side, he’s easy to obtain.
Free
Yurr
N/A
Yurr makes a good secondary DPS option if you’re missing some of the top-tier units. Although some community opinions ranked her as S-Tier, that was based on a bug that’s since been fixed, so it’s best to set those expectations aside.
Banner
Delto
Shadow Garden
Delto is a fighter who has solid performance and synergy within the Shadow Garden set. She offers reliable damage and works well alongside key units to boost the team’s overall effectiveness.
Event Shop
Sword
N/A
Sword is a fighter unit who struggles a bit in battles due to underwhelming stats and abilities, making him a less reliable choice compared to others.
Summon
Astra
N/A
Astra, like the others in this tier, is generally underpowered and best viewed as a beginner option or a unit to avoid if you have better choices available.
Summon
Liveua
N/A
Liveua is quite squishy, which limits her effectiveness and places her among the less powerful Mythic options.
Summon
Gone
N/A
Gone struggles mainly due to very long cooldowns, making him one of the weaker Mythic units in this tier.
Summon
Redward
N/A
Redward has improved with recent buffs, but he still remains a lower–tier choice compared to others.
Summon
Anime Run Kingdom Best Units for Beginners
For beginners, Freeren is one of the best starting options, thanks to her strong damage and ease of use. Weguto and Azuno are also solid early picks, offering accessible evolutions and balanced performance without heavy grinding. These characters help new players build a reliable team as they work toward higher-tier units.

I have over 2k of bulk cards that are a hassle to store. I’ve heard that I could donate them, but these cards are in English and where I live most kids/teens don’t speak the language. I’ve heard to sell them for like 10 bucks on eBay, but that just seems like a waste.
Instead I wonder if there isn’t a more fun and creative way to get rid of them. I want to run a limited event in which my friends can just make a fun deck and bring the cards home. If you were going to run such an event, how would you do it?
Here is what I’ve considered so far:
My first thought was to make a cube, but there are too many cards to sort, enter into some collection app and then to find a way to create a cube. It would be a nightmare.
My second idea was to do a draft, where we shuffle everything and make packs out of the cards(maybe bigger packs than 15 to make up for the randomness), but I just ran a draft in which people got 4 packs, and my friends complained it is hard to parse a strategy when you have that many cards.
My last idea was to do a big sealed draw. Basically put all the cards into a bag and you draw the equivalent of 6 packs(90 cards) and then you have to make a deck. I think this helps with the problem of parsing all of the cards, because you should be able to pile them by colour and not consider a good part of them, but then you are still left with a lot of useless bulk in a way that draft kinda solves.
For all of these ideas I’m also afraid it will he very difficult to make a strategy coalesce.
Did anyone try to do something like this before? If so, what do you suggest?
Here is my current idea for how to run the event. I will keep it up to date as your answers and comments help me refine it:
Ask all my friends to bring their own trash bulk they don’t want(so this event will also work as a sort of exchange)
Sort all the cards into a single mythics/rares land/color fixers and chase/signpost pile, the rest get sorted by color
Randomize all the cards in each pile and deal a certain number for each player(not sure how many yet)
Do a mythics/rare draft to start with, to help players find a strategy
All players get to choose 2 colors and get the equivalent of two boosters for each
Do a second mythic/rare draft to refine the strategy
Do a second "sealed" pick where you choose 2 colors again and get two sealed packs
At the end the players will have the equivalent of 6 packs and some good control over what they got
