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

Hansa Teutonica (Andreas Steding)

Set around the cities of the Hanseatic League, this is a game of establishing trade routes and setting up trading posts. Another challenging, tactical game from Andreas Steding: £30.00

Hare & Tortoise (David Parlett)

David Parlett’s classic Hare and Tortoise. This "ingenious race game" should be in every household: £15.00 (last copy).

Heads of State (Peter Hawes)

Players draft cards to make sets that will let them establish their nobles in the major countries of western Europe. Heads of State provides players with a competitive challenge over three centuries: £30.00.

Heimlich &Co (Wolfgang Kramer)

A new edition of this classic hidden control game. Only at the end of the game do players find out who is playing which colour. Simple, but fiendish: £20.00. (German edition with English rules)

High Frontier (Phil Eklund)

A stunning piece of work, High Frontier has the players exploring and developing the solar system. Their main goal is the establishment of extra-terrestrial factories to produce materials that simply can't be made on Earth. Play this for the experience: £35.00.

High Frontier expansion (Phil Eklund)

Exploring the solar system was hard enough in the base High Frontier game, but the expansion adds extra subtleties in spaceship design. It also expands the game to include Jupiter and Saturn and adds extra scenarios. Great stuff: £13.00.

Imperial (Walther “Mac” Gerdts)

Eggertspiele’s 2006 strategy game has the players as 'shareholders' in the major powers of Europe in the early 20th century. The value of their shares rises and falls with the success of the nation – controlled by the biggest shareholder. Excellent stuff: £30.00.

Inca Empire (Alan Ernstein)

Alan Ernstein’s inspired game deserves these high production values. Players manage their workforce to build cities, roads and temples in what is now Peru—until the conquistadors arrive. It gets 9/10 from me: £42.00.

Incan Gold (Alan Moon and Bruno Faidutti)

A terrific push-your-luck game, where players risk the hazards of an ancient temple to grab the treasure it contains. And it plays better the more people involved. This is the second edition from Gryphon Games: £15.00.

Indonesia (Jeroen Doumen and Joris Wiersinga)

2005’s acclaimed trading and development game from Splotter. It's set around the islands of the East Indies and is a deep and challenging game.

Jagd nach dem Gral (Eric Solomon)

That’s The Quest for the Holy Grail in English. Four groups are hunting the Grail: players move the pawns around the board – providing they reveal more influence. It’s a development of the classic Sigma File.

John Silver (Martin Schlegel)

A neat set-collecting card game. You want to collect treasure, but not black spots, and to give your neighbour the apples. Special offer: £5.00.

Junk Yard (Alan Ernstein)

A trick-taking, tile-laying board game. Plus a few more - there are several challenging games in this package.

Kings Progress (Steve Kingsbury)

Influence courtiers and persuade the King to favour you in this subtle strategy game. £25.00

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.

Kogge (Andreas Steding)

A challenging game of trading around the mediæval Baltic Sea where planning is at a premium. A cracking strategy game: £18.00.

Kriegbot expansion (Matt Eklund)

This provides more weapons and more systems to equip your fighting robot. It also adds the need to manage power and provides extra scenarios, including solitaire play. Good fun: £5.00.
