Little Town

Mountains, lakes, forests and lots of arable grassland: the perfect location! In “Little Town” players are building a settlement together and are competing for the best plots of land. On your turn you will send one worker to a free space on the map. There the worker will activate all surrounding spaces, so at the

Krasse Kacke

The name of this game (“Who did it”?) and the cute animal illustrations are definitely aimed at children. But Who Did It? can be fun for grown-ups too, especially grown-ups who are still children at heart. Which means us. We have to free our own pets from the suspicion of having left a little present

Facecards

People have faces. Animals have faces. And sometimes – at least in our imaginations – even everyday objects have faces. The phenomenon of recognising faces in things and patterns is called pareidolia. A quirk from which “Facecards” has made a fun combination game. Each player picks two picture cards from their hand, which should resemble

Majesty

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!

Ahoy there! When Captain Goldfish takes his treasure chest from its hiding place, the volcano in the centre of the island begins to spit lava. Quick: back to the ship! But where is it? In the memory game Memoarrr!, players can find the correct route by revealing a card in the grid that matches either

Santorini

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! The game board is a cliff on which buildings grow gradually, storey by storey. To do this, players move one of their

DEJA-VU

This is a real test of memory! 36 playing cards depict the same number of objects exactly twice. As each new card is revealed players must decide lightning-quick whether they have already seen the objects shown. If so: grab that object as quick as you can! If not: hands off! If an object is revealed

Dizzle

Presumably “Dizzle” is a new portmanteau word from the words “dice” and “puzzle”. There’s no real evidence to suggest that is the case but it does a good job of describing this game in two… sorry… in one word. It’s a puzzle using dice – on score sheets which show exactly on which spaces which

Dodelido

Each player starts with the same number of cards in a face-down deck in front of them, depicting differently-coloured animals. On your turn, you play the top card of your deck face-up onto one of three discard piles. Then you need to call out the characteristic which is seen most frequently: either the type of
