  • Friday

    For years, the man Friday has lived alone on his island. But when Robinson was washed up on the beach, Friday’s peace was disturbed by this clumsy foreigner. He set out to train him to be able to get off the island again. In training Robinson, Friday was still alone. As are you in this game.

  • 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.

  • Kingsburg

    Kingsburg is a medieval dice-fest about building up your shire (no, not The Shire, but you can always add a bit of roleplay if you want) and defeating demons and dragons that attack each winter, all through bribery at the court. It seems the ends do justify the means here.

  • Tichu

    Tichu may be the game that profited most from going on the intertubes so far: while it has been around since 1991, it was appearing on Brettspielwelt that made the name known to every gamer to ever be online. And deservedly so. While Tichu may look similar to any other card game you know, it’s quite a unique mix of trick-taking and shedding game, but gains most its fascination from being a team game.

  • Eselsbrücke

    Eselsbrücke is one of this year’s nominees for the Spiel des Jahres award. It’s a memory game with a fun mechanic, and really quite taxing for your memory. But is that enough to win the prestigous award?

  • MafiaDollar

    Times were hard during the prohibition, and you couldn’t even take a drink to make them easier. Except if you were the criminal element, then you had all the booze you could drink with enough left to turn a huge profit. And gambling and cigars on the side, too. Or you end up deep in debt with the other mobsters calling for your head.

  • Concordia

    The Roman Empire has always been a popular setting for games, so Concordia is not innovative in that respect. But it is a game by Mac Gerdts, so you know it will not be a run-of-the-mill, nothing-new-to-see-here game. Gerdts’s games are special. But even by the high standards he set with Antike, among others, he has outdone himself with Concordia.
