🎯 New Game Alert! Rebirth by Dr Knizia is a tile-laying game where players compete for space and control over a common board.

Really easy to learn and a simple decision space (only 1 tile to lay per turn), but creates just enough tension and competition between players to keep things interesting.

🎯 New Game Alert! You're a French cheesemaker in the early 20th century - making, aging and selling your artisanal cheeses.

Clever simultaneous play mechanics (and a unique "turning cheese wheel") makes for a highly strategic game in a super snappy 30-45min.

Perfect when paired with our seasonal Xmas Camembert Brulee!

🎯 New Game Alert! The Gang is basically cooperative poker - without revealing your hand, "bid" strategically to signal to your teammates the strength of your hand. Half deduction, half mind-meld, all great fun!

🎯 New Game Alert! Faraway packs a big punch in a small package - we've been playing this everywhere, from airports to the plane itself!

A simple game of only 8 turns, play your cards from left to right, then score at the end of the game from right to left! Easy to learn but filled with difficult choices on every turn, with just the right mix of strategy and luck.

🎯 New Game Alert! Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle Earth. This game takes 7 Wonders Duel (already one of our FAVOURITE games) and makes it even BETTER!

Easily one of the best games we have played this year. The LOTR theme really shines through, but the game works perfectly even if you're not a fan of the books or movies.

Play as either the Fellowship of the Ring trying to get the One Ring to Mordor, or the forces of Sauron determined to hunt those hobbits down! Multiple (equally achievable) victory conditions makes this a tense battle from start to finish.
