  • 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.

  • Haggis

    Haggis the card game has about as much to do with the Scottish national dish as Tichu the Chinese card game has with China. Haggis the card game does have a whole lot to do with Tichu the card game, but with enough differences to make it an interesting game although you might know Tichu already.

  • 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.

  • Trains

    Deck-building was a big game genre the last few years. But pure deck-building is exhausted, every major publisher has a couple of deck.-building games already. But deck-building as a mechanic still has a lot to offer, and incorporating it into a larger game offers many options yet to explore. Trains is one such game that takes deck-building and builds a wider game around it. So build your decks to build your tracks and lay rails across Japan.

  • Mascarade

    Mascarade is proof that a good game doesn’t need many components. With just 13 cards and some paper coins, Bruno Faidutti created an intense game of bluff and confusion that works for up to 13 players.

  • Blokus

    Yet another easy, quick and very clever game: your only goal in Blokus is to place all your tiles on the board, and the only restriction is that they must touch your other tiles, but only by a corner. Oh, and three other people are trying to do the same and get in your way.

  • Identik

    Identik advertises itself as “the drawing game for people who can’t draw”. Given my innate artistic ability, I consider that a challenge. Turn out that it actually works: in this hectic party style game, if you can manage stick figures, you can do well. Provided you get obscure details like the number of ears in the picture or the size of the sun right.

  • The Kingdoms of Crusaders

    The Crusades, the attempt to conquer Jerusalem for Christianity, were a bloody period of war. They’re a prime setting for wargames – I’m sure a few have been made – but finding a card game in the setting did surprise me. With a unique illustration style and a simple area majority mechanic, it’s an unusual take on the Crusades.
