  • Space Alert

    Space is big. Big and empty. That’s what our science teachers told us. It’s also dead – and deadly – wrong. Wherever our exploration vessel shows up, nasty things are just waiting to blow us up. To get back in one piece, all players have to cooperate and deal with a tight time limit while the computer is yelling at them about everything going wrong.

  • Evolution: The Origin of Species

    Evolution is one of the more vicious card games out there – eating your opponents animals is a great survival strategy. But the game’s author is a biologist by trade, so at least it is scientifically acurate viciousness.

  • Swordfish

    The swordfish season at the Flemish Cap is seven months long, from April to November. That’s the time you have in Swordfish to build up a fishing fleet and go out to catch fish. Some of you will get rich, others will get wet when their boats go down in a storm. It’s not an easy life as a swordfish fisher.

  • 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.

  • Romance of the Nine Empires

    The world of Countermay is an odd place. A multiversal crossroads, people from everywhere wash up here, enigmatic aliens right next to undead Egyptians. In their thousand years of war, the Nine Empires have all but killed Countermay, starvation will be the end for everyone unless one Empire manages to be the last one standing. And that’s where you come in …

  • Power Grid: The First Sparks

    For the 10th anniversary of the legendary Power Grid, designer Friedemann Friese came up with something special: he transported the games mechanics to the Stone Age. Gone are the days of burning coal, now you go hunt mammoths.

  • Kalua

    It’s not easy being a god. Unless you already established monotheism, then it’s all easy sailing. But to get there, some hard work will be necessary. Summoning tornados and tsunamis, ensuring a good harvest for your people and fighting the eternal danger of atheism, it’s all in a days work for a god.

  • 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.
