Bonnie and Clyde (Mike Fitzgerald)

Effectively one of the 'Mystery Rummy' series. Players collect sets, Rummy-style, and use action cards to help get the cards they need for their set: £18.00.

California (Michael Schacht)

Each player is renovating a Californian mansion, furnishing each room in a particular style. They score points for different styles or combinations and can also get housewarming presents from visiting neighbours. Good fun: £15.00 (last copy).

Figaro (Reiner Knizia)

Card game in which players are trying to get hired by the King for various roles at the royal court. (German/Italian edition with English rules.)

Gloria Mundi (James Ernest and Mike Selinker)

Players are citizens of Ancient Rome, trying to survive the fall of the city to the Goths. The winner is whoever gets furthest away.

Hansa (Michael Schacht)

A clever tactical game of trading around the Baltic Sea in the days of the medieval Hanseatic League. One of my favourite Michael Schacht games: £20.00.

Koala (Matteo Cortini and Leonardo Moretti)

A game of eating as much as possible where players’ seating positions affect the game. An entertaining family game.

Pick A Dilly (Hartmut Kommerell)

The hens compete for a good share of the chicken feed, which helps them lay more eggs – as does the rooster. First to 12 eggs wins the game.

Sabuca (Frederick A Herschler)

Players make words from their set of letter cards and then challenge the other players to find those words.

Sushi Express (Michael Schacht)

Players rush round the city in their delivery vans, earning points by delivering sushi. and getting tips from their customers.

A two-player game of interlocking Celtic knots. The rules provide several variants of differing complexity: from simple to absolutely fiendish: £24.00

Toppo (Reiner Knizia)

Speed card game: players try to get rid of their card by matching the set of symbols on the table.
