Cover from Riga: a richly dressed merchant in front of a Riga church under constructionRiga

This is a neat, quick-playing card game set in the medieval city of Riga. Players are traders vying to expand around the Baltic Sea from their base in the city. They draft sets of ‘commodity’ cards to provide the resources they need to play building cards in four other cities.

The twist is that, while there is a standard value for each commodity, some of them have a premium value, depending on the specific building they’re being used for. The aim is thus to make the most efficient use of the cards by collecting goods that are worth more for the buildings you hold and buildings that are cheaper for the goods you hold.

However, your buildings also provide special abilities to help you. After a set number of rounds, the player with the most valuable buildings wins, after subtracting points for any buildings still in their hand. It's clever and not too demanding.

For 2-4 players, aged 10+, taking 40-60 minutes to play: £10.00 (£8.33 without tax outside the UK)

Cover art from Riga: Lubeca expansion - a detail from the main game's coverRiga: Lubeca

The city of Lübeck (Lubeca in the period the game is set in) is the subject of this neat expansion for Riga. The set of cards introduces trading with Lubeca, with an additional set of buildings. This also involves two new commodities: furs and salt and brings in a new element to the game in the form of 'Wells'.

The additional cards allow the game to be played by up to five players. There's also room to provide extra 'Market' cards to replace the printing error in the original game.

For 2-5 players, aged 10+, taking 60 minutes to play: £6.00 (£5.00 without tax outside the UK)
