Shem Philips and Sam Macdonald | Recommendation list Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2020

Majesty

Marc André | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2018

It’s nice when you can get others to do the work for you. Just like the regents in the tactical card game Majesty, who recruit people from a quickly changing display to earn money for them. If your opponents are hiring soldiers then it’s a good idea to increase the number of guards. Or perhaps

Memoarrr!

Carlo Bortolini | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2018

Santorini

Gordon Hamilton | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2018

The Greek island of Santorini is known for its white houses with blue roofs. And the tactical game of the same name tries to recreate this holiday paradise. And it’s a real eye-catcher!

Emojito!

Urtis Šulinskas | Nominated for Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2018

The boxing kangaroo is on the ropes, exhausted. The scarecrow is annoyed by the twittering around him. The iron really has to let off steam. And the polar bear is merrily trying on his new ice stakes. So many emotions, so many moods and even more can be found in this party game. There are

Underwater Cities

Vladimír Suchý | Recommendation list Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2020

There is no more room on the Earth’s surface so mankind has decided to escape to the bottom of the sea. In “Underwater Cities” players build a network of tunnels and settlements on the ocean floor. They can find the resources they need in desalination plants and algae farms, while using laboratories to make advances

Panic Mansion

Asger Harding Granerud, Daniel Skjold Pedersen | Nominated for Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2018

Our adventurers find valuable treasure chests in an old mansion. Suddenly the house begins to shake and spooky ghosts, snakes and spiders begin to appear.
