That's Life! (Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling)

Great little game from Kiesling and Kramer that's fun for gamers (and not without its challenges) and good for families. A worthy nominee for the Spiel des Jahres in 2005: £25.00.

Third World Debt (Dave Thorby)

Players are challenged to build up their country's economy and work their way out of debt ... by borrowing more. How much debt can you afford? £25.00

Tinners' Trail (Martin Wallace)

Second edition of this terrific game of tin (and copper) mining in 19th century Cornwall. Players have to balance spending their income on victory points with keeping it for next turn and then decide just what to spend it on: £25.00

Top or Flop (Martin Schlegel)

Players are movie moguls, looking for the next hit in the cinema. This is a card game of bluff and out-guessing your opponents. German edition with English rules.

Toppo (Reiner Knizia)

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

Tulipmania 1637 (Scott Nicholson)

Fascinating game of the famous bubble market in tulips. Players buy and sell tulips, aiming to sell at the peak price. The key is working out just what the other players are doing: £15.00.

UFOs! Fries from Space (UFOs! Fritten aus dem All) (Petra Brandenburger)

Fast food joints are really a front for aliens taking over the Earth – and you're one of them! Sell the most fries and conquer the planet. (German edition with English rules)

Ultimate Werewolf: Compact edition (Ted Alspach)

You don’t really need anything—except people—to play Werewolf, but this deck of cards makes it much easier. The cards assign roles to the players, including several expansions to the standard roles. Great fun: £9.00

Ultimate Werewolf: Ultimate edition (Ted Alspach)

When it says ultimate, it means ultimate: 80 cards provide over 40 different roles plus eighteen scenarios for variety (or to get new players up to speed) and a comprehensive game guide: £18.00

Wadi (Martyn F)

Ingenious game of watering the desert from flash floods down the river beds (wadis) – or from what other players have grabbed. Clever stuff, if a bit abstract.

Wampanoag (Aaron Lauster)

Players are leaders in the eponymous Native American nation, pressured by the arriving Europeans in the east and their traditional enemies in the west. Good stuff: £20.00

Weinhändler (Claudia Hely & Roman Pelek)

"Wine Trader"is a card game of collecting sets. In this case, sets of the same type of wine - and ideally of the same star rating. Entertaining and not-too-demanding. (German edition with English rules)

Who Stole Ed's Pants? (Jim Doherty)

Well, who did? Use evidence cards to finger your opponents. A fun card game that needs a bit of thinking.

Wind River (Roman Mathar)

a game of native Americans, buffalo and the Great Plains. Players try to keep their tribe with the migrating buffalo – which they all have a hand in moving. A good-looking, clever game: £30.00 (last copy).

Wits and Wagers (Dominic Crapuchettes)

My favourite take on trivia games. Players bet on the various answers given to questions and having the most money is what wins. It's not the clever clogs who wins—but that's the way to bet: £23.00.

World Cup Card Game 2010 (Shaun Derrick)

A chance to settle the result of the World Cup for yourself. Can you steer your team through the group and knock-out stages to lift the ultimate trophy? £5.00

World Cup Game (Shaun Derrick)

Play cards to win matches and push your team(s) through the final stages of football's World Cup. Re-create the first World Cup of 1930 or re-fight the 2002 tournament: £30.00.

Worm Up! (Alex Randolph)

Let's go worm racing! A very, very silly game from the master that is also outrageous fun—and trickier than you might think: £12.00

Zombie in my Pocket (Jeremiah Lee)

A pocket-sized game of seeing off the brain-eating creatures! Players must cooperate to defeat the zombies, but also compete to win the game. It's clever, fun and full of zombies! £10.00.
