  • Identik

    Identik advertises itself as “the drawing game for people who can’t draw”. Given my innate artistic ability, I consider that a challenge. Turn out that it actually works: in this hectic party style game, if you can manage stick figures, you can do well. Provided you get obscure details like the number of ears in the picture or the size of the sun right.

  • Final Frontier

    Expensive game components, the final frontier for board game publisher. These are the games of Victory Point Games. Their continuing mission: to bring you new games, to seek out new authors, new genres, to boldly ship their games in a ziploc bag.
    You guessed it, Final Frontier is a science fiction game that keeps referencing a certain TV series. But is a good theme and paper components in a ziploc game enough to make a great game?

  • Northwest Passage Adventures

    The way from Europe to the western coast of the US and Canada used to be one of the hardest. You either unloaded everything and travelled by land, or you went all the way around Cape Horn, at the tip of South America. Not a fun trip. There had long been speculation that a passage exists around the north of the continent, but many set out to find it, and for a long time they returned without success. And then, when someone finally managed to go all the way by boat, it still was hard, and dangerous, and the Panama Canal opened just a few years later. But they did find the Northwest Passage. And so can you.

  • Masters of Commerce

    Everywhere you look lately, the news are about the economy. It’s boring , like a roller coaster you’re not allowed to ride. Masters of Commerce allows you to experience the same roller coaster, but instead of finding a bridge when you lost everything, you can have fun going bankrupt.

  • Primate Fear

    Ten years ago, you thought spanking the monkey was harmless fun. But you spanked him too hard, too long, too violently and the monkey died. Now, on this night, the money is back from the grave, and he’s out for revenge. And none of the above was a euphemism for anything!

  • La Boca

    The game La Boca takes its name from the neighborhood La Boca in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a uniquely colorful place. Just as uniquely, the game La Boca is a puzzle game with strong player interaction, and that makes it a lot of fun to play.

  • Undercover

    The life of a secret agent is tough. We know from James Bond’s biographical movies about the large number of people who to kill you while megalomaniac villains try to either kill everyone, enslave everyone or just take everyone’s money. But those movies gloss over the hardest part of the job: keeping track of who is who, and who they are working for. You think it’s easy, working with a bunch of double agents who all look the same because they wear stupid hats and trench coats and only meet in dark corners, anyway? Well, think again after you accidentally pass that briefcase to the wrong guy. He looked just like the right guy, but when he said “Thank you” you realized he was talking with the wrong stereotypical villain accent. But no more! With Undercover Doris and Daniel Danzer will help you understand just how hard the secret agent life is on your memory.

  • Shadows over Camelot

    What is your name? – Sir Meepalot.
    What is your quest? – The search for the Holy Grail.
    What is the poker hand you need to beat me? – I don’t know tha AAARRRGGH!
    And it is through the magic of the internet that you have been reading this text in Monty Python voices inside your head. Oh, you wanted to know about Shadows over Camelot?
