  • Mondo

    Far off from the typical board game, Mondo works on a time limit, players play simultaneously and yet it comes along as not only a kid game but also a game for experienced players.

  • Floris

    It is the Countess’ flower ball, and you are invited. Since the countess kind of digs flowers (not literally, she had gardeners for that…) – you want to bring her the most beautiful bouquet of flowers and thus get the most sympathy points. But beware – the countess may be a bit greedy for the flowery stuff – but excessiveness is not rewarded. After all it is still Noblesse Oblige!

  • Alcatraz: The Scapegoat

    They say no one ever escaped from Alcatraz. If you want to be the first, you will have to work together with the other inmates. But watch out, or you might be left behind, because for all its cooperation required, Alcatraz: The Scapegoat is anything but a cooperative game.

  • Thunderstone: Starter Set

    How often has this happened to you? You are peacefully tending to your farm, and suddenly a hole in the ground opens up and monsters come streaming out. Next you know, a bunch of heroes are charging you a ridiculous fee to take care of the problem and then make off with the monsters’ treasures as well. Being a Villager in Thunderstone is little fun. But you, you’re one of those heroes.

  • 1984: Animal Farm

    The new world leaders after the 1984 revolution: Pandas, Eagles, Frogs, Bears and Pigs. You may or may not be surprised to learn that, other than the species, nothing has changed. The world is struggling in a five-way Cold War, permanently on the brink of thermonuclear destruction, and your goal in this game is not to save the world and bring lasting peace – except maybe by eliminating the competition. 1984: Animal Farm may be one of the games least conductive to maintaining friendship since Diplomacy.

  • Elysium

    Usually, when a game tells you to create your own legend, it doesn’t mean you should kill the people participating in it. But when the game is named after the Greek underworld for heroes and demigods it was predictable that they would have to get there somehow, and the usual way is dying. But at least they will contribute to your legend and maybe help secure your place on Olympus.

  • 7 Wonders: Cities

    The second expansion for Antoine Bauza’s Kennerspiel des Jahres is 7 Wonders: Cities, and it’s all about Peace and Money. Or maybe Peace and Theft. With two new wonders, 9 new cards per age, new guilds and new leaders, the expansion mixes things up a bit.

  • Asara

    Asara, the city of spires. The Caliph has called 4 famous architects to give the city more spires, higher spires, more colourful spires. In only four years, we are to fill the city with soaring towers, but funds and workers are limited.
