  • Raid & Trade

    World War 3 has come and gone, and to everyone’s surprise we’re not extinct. But the planet is not a great place to live any more, except for those select few that secured a space in the Golden City, the last beacon of civilization in the world. All the wastelanders want to live there, and the players in Raid & Trade actually have the chance to achieve that dream, if they find the right mix between cooperation and ruthlessness.

  • Canterbury

    Games where you build cities are not exactly new. But they rarely go into the logistics of it, things like “before you build a theater there, shouldn’t you supply food and water”? Canterbury goes into that part of building cities, but it doesn’t need complicated rules for it. Just make sure you build things in order and make sure you get the majorities in supplying city districts, because that’s how you win.

  • Mundus Novus

    Mundus Novus is, despite its trade with the new world theme, a light set collection game with a complex(ish) trading mechanic and a bit of card based progress.

  • Caravelas

    Caravelas takes you back to the age of exploration, when courageous men crossed the oceans in rather unsafe ways in search for wealth and glory.

  • Ca$h’n’Gun$

    We all have played Cops and Robbers as kids. Pretty much all of us forgot the simple joy of pointing a toy gun at our friends and yelling "Bang! Bang! You’re dead!" Cash’n’Guns skips the cops for most of the game. but the robbers and toy guns are there.

  • Arkham Horror

    Everything is peaceful in the small town in New England. Nothing bad has happened yet this week. But it’s only monday, 2:00 am. And there we go, a gate to another world opens, monsters start pouring out. The inhabitants of Arkham suffer through a lot, if anything bad happens, it happens to them. Every time. They feel the Arkham Horror.

  • Love Letter

    Very few board and card games come out of Japan. It’s not because they don’t exist there, they just don’t make it to Europe or the US. Alderac Entertainment is working on changing that with their Big in Japan series, games by Japanese designers, first published in Japan and for the first time translated to English. That’s why we get to play Love Letter.

  • Kill Doctor Lucky

    “Kill Doctor Lucky” is not only the name of the game, it’s also the only victory condition. Be the first to strike down the old academic in this fun little filler game.
