  • Small Star Empires

    The final frontier… Space. The last remaining adventure, vast and (mostly) unexplored. We could go on about rogues, treks and storm troopers, towels, the Force and Lord Helmet – but today we would rather focus on a less mainstream but without a doubt worthy item: Milan Tasevski’s short and easy-to-learn, but still very replay-worthy Small Star Empires.

  • Splendor

    Collecting gems to buy cards that are worth gems, making it easier to buy more cards. When thus summarized, Spiel des Jahres nominee Splendor doesn’t sound like much. But once you start playing, you will realize that games don’t have to sound complicated to draw you in, make you play again and again, try new approaches to outsmart your opponents. Because playing Splendor is not a difficult, but getting what you want with your opponents interfering is.

  • ebbes

    ebbes means “something” in the dialect of the Palatinate area of Germany. Asking to play ebbes there might not immediately make someone get up and get this card game, because you might be asking to play something, with no indication what exactly. Fortunately, that is not a problem anywhere else in the world, as far as I’m aware, and you can enjoy the game without suffering from linguistic confusion first.

  • Ghost Stories

    Do you like the Chinese Ghost Story movies? How about cooperative games? Now roll this to things into one, how does that sound? Ghost Stories is exactly that: you defend a small village from the forces of Wu-Feng who is about to rise from the dead.

  • Small World Underground

    “The world is getting smaller” is a quote that gets thrown around a lot these days. The people saying it must have missed the implications of being in a really small world. As in: a really Small World. It’s not a very peaceful place.And even escaping underground for lack of space, does not bring you peace, because Small World Underground is just as ruthless as the original.

  • Okiya

    Looking through the window into the garden, you see two rivalling gangs of geishas fighting for control. Wait. WHAT? The setting doesn’t always have to make much sense for a beautiful game, especially not when it’s a very short and fun abstract.

  • Anno Domini

    Although we do like our deep, strategic games, not all games have to be that to be fun. In fact, when done well, even very simple games involving trivia knowledge can be a ton of fun.

  • 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.
