Obscura Tempora (Andrea Angiolino)

The aim is to develop your medieval domain: building castles, setting up markets, trashing the neighbouring manor and so on. A neat card game. Special offer: £8.00.

Oltre Mare (Emanuele Ornella)

A fascinating game of trading around the Mediterranean that was a great hit when it first appeared at Spiel '04. You have to manipulate the sequence of your cards to get cargo, move your ship and make money. This is the very smart Amigo edition. Special offer: £18.00.

On the Underground (Sebastian Bleasdale)

A clever game of building lines and carrying passengers on the London Underground. It’s a very accessible game that still provides a challenge and rewards tactical and strategic play. A fine debut from designer Sebastian Bleasdale: £25.00.

De Ontembare Stad (Hans van Tol)

An interesting game where players develop their medieval manor in competition (and occasional warfare) with the other players. Last copy: £20.00. (Dutch edition with English rules.)

Ostia (Stefan Risthaus)

As traders in Ancient Rome, players have to balance selling goods and swapping them for prestige points. The first brings in cash to buy more goods, but it's the second that wins the game! A neat card game. Special offer: £12.00. (German edition with English rules.)

Penguin Ultimatum (Jim Doherty)

Can your acrobatic kangaroos and juggling sheep keep the Penguins entertained? A challenging, amusing card game: £15.00.

Phoenicia (Tom Lehmann)

This is a cracking development game by Tom Lehmann, “inspired by Outpost and Civilization.” Players bid for cards to expand their village to a city state, balancing income and victory points. It plays more quickly than you think – and very well: £20.00

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: £10.00 (last copy).

Power & Weakness (Andreas Steding)

A struggle between the magical and mundane. The two players fight it out for dominance of Albion using their magical and military resources alternately. A clever, tactical game for 2 players for 45 minutes: £25.00.

Presidential Election (Richard Huzzey)

An entertaining two-player card game reflecting the battle to become President of the USA: £5.00.

Pyramide des Krimsutep (Ralf Sandfuchs)

"The Pyramid of Krimsutep" is about exploring the eponymous monument. And grabbing the treasure, of course. Special offer: £6.00. (German edition with English rules)

Qb (John Chambers)

A neat word game that uses letter cubes: roll the cubes and make words, adding them to the grid built up by all the players: £10.00

Rotterdam (Hans van Tol)

Players manoeuvre container ships across the eponymous port to deliver their goods. But what’s good for one person doesn’t necessarily help another: £20.00
