Codenames
Teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the table. Their teammates try to guess words of their colour while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.
The game works very well with 4 players if you prefer to guess without help. Or you can add more players if you prefer fun and engaging discussion (and debates). There is also a cooperative variant where a single team tries to achieve the highest score they can by playing against the game itself.

Through the Ages A New Story of Civilisation
In this game, you will need to expand your farms and mines in order to get resources to build your cities. With these cities, you will be able to get new technologies, better governments, and great wonders. You must choose leaders wisely so their legacy can lead your people to success. Protect your borders with a strong army and expand your territory. Make choices that will shape history with your political skill.
In order to be successful in the game, your civilisation needs to do well in many areas. You may be good at some things, but you should not be bad at anything. Your rivals will try to get ahead by going to war or through politics, so you need to be prepared.

Buy the Space Alert Board Game
Space Alert
Space Alert is a team survival game. Players take on the role of a crew of space explorers sent out through hyperspace to survey a dangerous sector of the Galaxy. The game is set by 10-minute soundtracks on included CDs (or by scenario cards if you don’t have a CD player). During these 10 minutes, the crew must defend the ship while it scans the enemy sector. If they succeed, the ship brings back valuable data. If they fail… it is time to train a new crew.
Players do not compete against each other in order to win. Instead, they work together to complete the challenges in the game. These challenges can be made more or less difficult, depending on what the players want. Completing the most difficult missions usually requires close teamwork! Order today!

Galaxy Trucker
There’s a need for sewage systems in a far-off galaxy. Corporation Incorporated is responsible for their construction.

You’ll be able to use prefabricated spaceship components that are cleverly constructed from sewage pipes.
Can you construct a spaceship that is strong enough to endure the ravages of meteors? Armed and ready to defend against pirates? Big enough to transport precious cargo? Fast enough to arrive first?

Dungeon Lords
The Dungeon Lords Board Game is a game for 2 to 4 people who want to be dungeon lords. In this game, you get to dig tunnels, mine gold, and hire monsters. You also need to think about all the things a dungeon needs like traps and food. It is not easy because the competition for resources is tough. Sometimes you have to be a little mean in order to get what you want. The meaner you are, the stronger the adventurers your dungeon attracts.
Your adventurers will try to conquer your dungeon twice during each game. You can use your monsters and traps to stop them. If they do too much damage, you will lose points. At the end of the game, you will get points for your achievements: constructing and defending your dungeon, and maybe winning some prestigious titles.
Average Playtime: 90 minutes
