  • Smash Up

    The ultimate question about life, the universe and everything can finally be answered. Who would win in a fight, Pirates or Ninjas? 42. Sorry, doesn’t make sense after all. But at least you can answer all the other big questions as well. Dinosaurs or Robots? Aliens or Zombies? All that and more now has an answer, and the answer is Smash Up.

  • 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.

  • Docker

    Small and quick games – we don’t write about them much just because they are small and quick. But we all play them. Between other games. Before dinner. Sitting in a pub waiting for people to show up. And then, sometimes, we do write about them.

  • 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.

  • Escape: The Curse of the Temple

  • Dungeon Fighter

    Dungeon crawler games tend to be dice rolling festivals: you find a monster, you throw a die and either you die or the monster dies. Dungeon Fighter is not so different from that, only now you throw the dice on a target, and whether you hit or not is much more important than what face the die shows.

  • Cargotrain

    Trains, pick-up-and-deliver mechanic, set collection. All that doesn’t sound new, the mechanics have been used and even combined before, and there are more than a few train games out there. But Cargotrain takes those simple ingredients and mixes them up into something tasty and fun.

  • K2

    Mountaineering is not much used as a theme in boardgames. After trying K2, I really wonder why because it’s tense, exciting and deadly. There are no empty moves here, every turn has important decisions. A worthy nominee for Kennerspiel des Jahres 2012?
