Blood Bound

Kalle Krenzer | Recommendation list Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2014

Two rival vampire clans are struggling for power. The winner will be whoever finds and defeats the leader of the opposite side. In this game for larger groups we start off knowing very little – actually just which clan we belong to ourselves. We have to pay close attention: Whenever a player around the table

Amerigo

Stefan Feld | Recommendation list Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2014

If you want to re-enact Amerigo Vespucci’s voyage of discovery, you’ll need one thing above all else: A big table!

We’ll trade goods and protect ourselves from

Augustus

Paolo Mori | Nominated for Spiel des Jahres | 2013

Bingo in ancient Rome: players gain control of Roman provinces and senators by amassing legions on their objective cards.

Divinare

Brett J. Gilbert | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2013

It’s the late 19th century in London: Soothsayers and diviners meet to crown the best in their profession. The task is this: How many cards in each of the four colours are in the game? At the beginning, each participant knows only his hand of cards, as well as the maximum number possible per colour.

Drecksau

Frank Bebenroth | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2012

Im Schlamm suhlen und jede Borste schmutzig machen: In diesem kurzweiligen und lustigen Kartenspiel veranstalten die Spieler eine wahre Sauerei. Wer verwandelt seine anfangs blitzblanken Schweine als Erster in Drecksäue? Matschkarten sind der Schlüssel zum Erfolg. Doch es ist gar nicht so einfach, seine Tiere verdreckt zu behalten.
